I read up and almost did brine it, but didn't. I just added some blacking seasoning, and smoked it until it hit 150. I'm telling you, it was amazing. My gf doesn't even like salmon, and asked if we can smoke some this Saturday.
Thanks for the tip. I somehow caught the middle section on fire too, so it was smoking everywhere. I guess there is a learning curve to using the amnps. Food turned out awesome though. It was the best salmon I've ever had.
Just tried my first smoke with the amnps, and followed all the directions...microwave the pellets, let it burn for 10 min, open the loader 2 inches and moved the tray out an inch or two. It kept going out, so I took a hair dryer to it for about 4 min. That was the trick. It's up and smoking...
Quick question...I'm using wood chips now. Do you guys recommend soaking them, or going dry? I have an amnps, and plan on using it next time, but was just curious.
