    Salmon on sale

    If you live near Vancouver, some of the "Save On Foods" have wild caught Pacific pink salmon on sale for .39/100grams! This is a fantastic price! (Equals $1.77/lb.) Head off, cleaned, may need some scaling, but not much! OMG, what a great deal. IMO, this is the best salmon for smoking!

    Salami Cacciatore

    Thanks for the details, that's perfect. Do you know what temp your cold cellar sits at? I have a similar area, and it would be so good if it can be used!

    Salami Cacciatore

    Hello Atomic Smoke, you have motivated me. I want to try and make this, it looks fantastic. I have a couple of questions for you.  1. The recipe discusses some very specific R/H's. How did you maintain a level of 90% in the 85degree smoker? 2. How did you maintain a R/H of 75% during the...

    Who's smoking what for Christmas dinner?

    I too was outvoted. I will be doing a deep fried turkey instead of smoked for Christmas dinner. However, I'm going to smoke a duck this week for sure. Can't wait! Maybe even try duck pastrami.

    Asian smoked duck .

    That looks wonderful! Well done. I'll work on doing that this next week, or just after Christmas. I appreciate seeing the pics. With the skin down for the first hour, did it let out enough fat to crisp up the skin at all, Mick?

    Sausage stuffer

    After reading reviews and researching what I could find, I decided on a LEM stuffer. I have ordered it, and am waiting for delivery. This one seemed to have the best reviews. I checked amazon and their website. Hopefully, I get a good one. Good luck on your research.

    Smoked to the Bone - Amateur Competition

    I joined a North West association that operates out of Washington (a few minutes south of me here in BC). There are lots of great smoking competitions here, with some very well known teams. It's great to attend. They don't seem to allow electric smokers, so I'm out of the contest, LOL.

    Do you have a smoker off season

    I am fortunate enough to now live in Surrey, BC, where I can smoke pretty much any day of the year. And, I must admit, I am completely spoiled. It's great! And I completely agree, what a great Christmas dinner a smoked Turkey makes!
