    Shipping vacuum-sealed salmon?

    I'd l ike to send some smoked salmon to a few relatives this year for the holidays. If I vacuum seal the filets ASAP after they come out of the smoker, should they keep OK for a trip through the mail? Obviously I won't be freezing them, since they'd never stay frozen in the mail. Has...

    Smoked Duck

    OK, thanks. The ducks are in - skin pricked all over. ;) They've been in for about 2 hours now at about 230. I'd take a pic to post, but it's pouring down rain here (Seattle). I have 'before' pics & will take after pics on the kitchen counter. Look for pics to be posted later today...

    Smoked Duck

    No. I did not know that! Thank you! (This is my first time ever doing duck). I never do that with my chickens & they seem to come out great. Am I supposed to do that w/ chicken too? Any other things I should be aware of when smoking duck?

    Smoked Duck

    I'm planning on smoking a few ducks for Thanksgiving dinner. I picked up two whole, fresh ducks at my butcher shop. I plan to marinade/brine them for about 2 days in a pineapple/guava teriyaki style marinade (I plan to water it down just a bit & add some salt to the marinade/brine). Any...

    Smoked Halibut?

    OK. We smoked a halibut filet, a salmon filet & a steelhead filet. The total smoking time was just under 4 hours (at a temp of about 200-215 degrees). It came out very good. We were using a bourbon-based marinade on 'em. Yummy! :)

    Smoked Halibut?

    Well, from what I've read (from the marinade recipe I got for my salmon) it says I should smoke the salmon for 6-12 hours. Does that sound right? 12 sounds like too much to me, but 6....to maybe 8 sounds about right(?) I take it I'll want to smoke the Halibut for just as long? Is there a...

    Smoked Halibut?

    I'm looking for a good marinade recipe for smoked Halibut. Anyone got one they've tried & like a lot? Also, do you smoke Halibut just as long as you'd smoke, for example, Salmon, or does Halibut take more/less time? Thanks! :)

    GOSM Coffee Can modification

    Thanks for the pic. I see how you're doing it. The way I read it before, it sounded like the can was sitting upright & had been cut shorter to fit. W/ the end open like that, do your chips ever 'burn' instead of just smoke? Also, I notice you have some charcoal briquets in there w/ yoru...

    GOSM Coffee Can modification

    "I did not use the smoker box that came with the unit. Instead I took a large coffee can and cut it down to where it would fit under the water pan." I have a couple quick questions regarding this modication. I'd like to do it, so I don't have to change my chips as often (right now, I have to...

    Jerky - hang or lay on rack?

    OK. I just laid the jerky on the racks. It worked just fine. I was amazed. This was my first try at jerky and...........I think it was just about the best jerky I've ever had! (teriyaki) Wow! I'm a believer now. I'll be making more later on this week. :)

    First try at beef short ribs

    Hmmm, OK. That method sounds interesting. I'll have to try it next time. I just laid the ribs on the rack this time (meat side down, of course) and they came out pretty good. :)

    First try at beef short ribs

    I'm going to be smoking two racks of beef short ribs tomorrow in my new GOSM (the smaller model), and I just have a few quick questions. I know the prep (removing the membrane...and I'm going to use a dry rub.) I've seen one poster on here talk about wrapping the rib racks in foil(?) What's...
