    First smoked salmon - all black what happened?

    I rinsed the rub off and let it set for for 1 hour for the pellicle to form. I'll try again at a lower temp but I think I used way too much coal. Thanks

    I have noticed that members put the salmon directly on grids, I assume they are sprayed with non stick or wiped with oil so they don't stick. Do Have to worry about drippings on to coals or do I use a water pan to catch drippings ? Mike

    Bullet smoking grill spacing

    I modified an electric Meco to charcoal with Weber charcoal ring and grate. I put the water pan on the bottom for ashes. On top of that i put the charcoal ring along with the grate.
