Well Mr Bear I have just done my first smoked fish (mackerel) and was able to eat the results.
For some strange reason I didn't think to look at your SxS page and picked up bits and pieces of info from all over the place. Outside of the brine you mixed I operated on a similar process and...
I've just done my first smoked fish (Mackerel) using (Aussie) Hardwood pellets.
Now, as always, I do things first and then read the manual so I'm hoping you all are my manual.
My procedure was thus, I brined the fish in a brine of 11/3 cups of salt and 2/3 cup of brown sugar in 4.55ltrs (1...
Well PZ I have finally got back with my report on the experiment.
I did a Q view on it but at this time I won't post it due to things not going the way I saw in my minds eye.
As stated we, as kids, had a cheap meal and in Australia they were called jaffles. You may have the same thing in the...
As the rest of the guys said add the first lot to any future dishes, no such thing as a throw away bacon.
I'd give my left arm for pork belly like you brought such lovely meat and so little fat should be a winner.
Done well.

US99c per pound = AU$1.45 per kg.
Ham down here is, at the cheapest, $7.00kg or US$3.50lb (not top quality)
So therefore we are looking at something like $70 to $90 for a reasonable 1/2 ham.
What the hell ya only live once, off to the supermarket to buy a ham tomorrow thanks to Bear.
Cheers...
Bugger me PZ you've got us all fired up now.
As a wee nipper, living in the west and from a pretty poor family, we had tater fritters (Hash Browns) on a regular basis mainly because they were cheap to make and filled ya up pretty quick.
We also had another quick and easy meal that was quite...
"you will never buy it in a store again"
No truer words spoken there Bear.
Since you fired me up on home made bacon I can assure you that I now eat at least three times as much as I used to.
I've had a crack at making them all but Belly Bacon is my #1 choice and since introducing my family...
Bear the thing I find the most pleasing to the eye, in all the states, is the changing of the seasons.
When I look at the different coloured leaves, in the various states, and then the winter wonderland (snow) I somehow wish I lived over there, such beauty.
Unfortunately down here we don't...
With what you still have in your freezer I could live on for a year.
I can get my chicken bits lookin like yours but I bet they don't taste as good as yours.
BTW it looks like I was right about the leaves fallin???.

Hi All, this will sound rather silly to a lot of you but to me it's a fair question.
I smoke with a cabinet smoker and have used pellets (AMNPS) up until now and I need some help in understanding the process of chip smoking.
Can someone explain to me the process of using chips in the chip tray...
Hey Bear are they going to give you one to trial for them?.
If these company's had any sense at all they would survey those people who use their products and build what the customer wants/recommends.
For what it's worth there's my rant.
