    Cold smoking 5 lbs of salmon

    Here are some pics of what I did to De-salinate the fish (take the salt off) and then soak it in cold water last night, and into the fridge overnight. I also put it on the smoker a couple hours ago and the fish are getting smoke right now.

    Cold smoking 5 lbs of salmon

    I noticed the smoke wasn't as strong as what I wanted so I propped the lid open a bit and this helps considerably. Thanks! This is very helpful.

    Fireboard 2.0 not working correctly

    Update: I replaced the probes again...not sure how many time I've done that...and my Fireboard 2.0 seems to be providing accurate readings. It's been about 3 months since I replaced the probes.

    Hatch Chilis

    I live in Denver. We have them in most stores in August. They are always labeled as Hot or Mild. Personally I think they are great.

    Smoke tube

    This is what I would use: A-MAZE-N Stainless Steel Tube Smoker 12 in. L X 2 in. W It will work fine with your grill and you can find them at multiple places.

    I sometimes will come across a Turkey Breast at my local grocery store (King Soopers). And I will brine it, smoke it, and run it through my Hobart Meat Slicer. It is often difficult to find turkey breast to smoke. Does anyone have advice on where to find turkey breast on a regular basis? The...

    Fireboard 2.0 not working correctly

    Hello all, seeking some input. I have used a Thermoworks Smoke thermometer in the past and have recently (for the last year or so) used a Fireboard 2.0 thermometer. I got the Fireboard because my display on the Smoke went bad when it got some moisture in the unit from rain. The last couple of...

    Hello from Estes Park, Colorado

    Exactly, I had the same eureka moment. I smoked a couple briskets and couldn't figure out why they were rough in spots. It IS the altitude impact.
