Just joined this forum a couple of days ago because I was impressed with the amount of good advice from friendly members here.

I am located just north of Toronto and have used a "Centro" electric smoker since 9 month. This smoker is identical to the "Masterbuilt" sold in the USA. So far I mainly hot-smoked trout, mackerel and salmon with great success. Now I'm aiming to do some cold-smoking of salmon which will need some modifications to be done to my smoker.

I am of 38 vintage (translation: 70 years old) but eager to learn more all the time. After all, what we learn after we know it all is what really counts.

Welcome aboard. This forum is awesome, you'll love it here.
By the way, how do you like the Centro? I am considering on purchasing one.

Hi bb53Chefpro,

I really like the Centro and it performs very well and better than I expected from some of the older reviews that I read. Those reviews were mainly on the older model that did not have the latch for the door and which did not have the adjustable vent on top. I am not soaking the wood chips and only use a handfull at a time. That usually lasts for 3/4 hrs of smoke generation.

I considered the Bradley smoker originally but was reluctant to commit to using only their proprietary biscuits for smoking. I also thought that the price was rather high. I'm glad that I chose the Centro.

I will make some modification to use an external smoke generator to allow me to do some "cold smoking" which should be done at a temperature not higher than 80 F.

Regards, Hassy
 
Thanks for the input, I am really interested it it but not had a chance to even see one up close in person. Non on the store floors yet. They should be out in about a month.
 
Hello Fellow Canuck!

Welcome to SMF... these folks here know what they are doing. This is the Holy Grail of Smoking. I am very new but find that I have learned a ton by asking questions and reading other posts.

Well hello and welcome to the SMF, a fun place to be. With all the fish that you've smoked, are you a fisherman? If you are/or rnot... read around the forums, there is a lot of great advise to help you along the smokin' road.
