    Update : Got Pellicle? Going on 3 Hours of fan blowing over the salmon So difficult with my limited experience to tell if there pellicle forming. It's dry and firm to touch. I guess you could say alittle tacky in some places on some of the pieces. I'll call it at noon or if there is another...

    Hi Omak Dave I don't know how to PM so question for you on how you do it. I have started the brining process for Round #2 You said lots of ways to cool air dry. I don't have a setup like you with a fan and can't leave the fan out in the garage because of the cats liking the salmon. Would you...

    It's on the grill. Alder for now and will mix with apple. I have a wedge in the opening to have it around 150. It's a bit pale looking(compared to your beauties) and no rum around here... How about vermouth/brown sugar or burbon/brownsugar....

    OK another question. Will try a combo of alder and cherry or apple. Any thoughts on this? Lowest setting in my Traeger Silverton is smoke mode which is 150-180.. Will be using that unless recommenced otherwise.

    Took Salmon out of the brine and put it in the fridge on a rack overnight. It's dry and cold to touch but can't tell if there is a pellicle... perhaps it's a bit sticky. Any suggestions what to do next. would like to put it on the smoker in a few hours.
