    Brining and smoking salmon

    I going cut the salt in half with the same water, also cut the soy sauce in half. Keep the same sugar and brown sugar. (Maybe)

    Temp for Smoking fish

    I just followed the recipe. I thought that it was a lot of salt, but figured someone knew what they were doing. Next time I think I will try the small handful of salt with a BIG handful of sugar with enough water to cover it (3 quarts) recipe. Then some lemon and Italian seasoning (maybe a touch...

    Brining and smoking salmon

    Maybe I had too much salt. I do not think I had 4 liters of water. And I only smoked 1 lbs. of salmon. But I did rinse it twice.

    Brining and smoking salmon

    OK Guys, I did a wet brine today. I followed Thirdeyes recommendations. I used the brine - 1 cup of salt, 2 cups soy Sause, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and white sugar. 5 hours later I rinsed the salmon and put in a bag. This morning I smoked it. Wow, is it salty. What did I do wrong?

    cold smoking cheese

    How do you have 12-year-old cheese? The only way that I would have 12 year-old cheese is if I started with 14 year old cheese. Since August, I have probably smoke 12-14 pounds (one 2-pound failure that doesn't count) since August. I always seem to be munching on it. Maybe some with summer...

    cold smoking cheese

    Yeah, I am going to it at different times. High temp for them, they need grill marks. My daughter loves brats. Her youngest son (my youngest grandson) loves Bar S franks NOT brats, cuz according to him, the Bar S franks are the BEST. (well, he was 6 at the time). I did some more cheese today...

    anodized metal

    I keep saying mug. What think I really mean is a insulated water bottle. The one (or several) I was thinking of using is going to have 1/2 inch hole about 1 inch from the bottom. Stainless or aluminum screen over the smoke tube. Leave the top off while using it, or a cute little cover to keep...

    anodized metal

    Thank you Chef K-dude. That helped a lot. I would be drilling a hole (several holes) through the mug. I think it is insulated the same as the "old" thermos mugs. I think they used a shell then a glass inner liner. Mine always seem to break. I bought a mug (22-32oz) from the local thrift store...

    anodized metal

    Oops. I just noted that I need to read the comments better.

    anodized metal

    How about the interior of the mug? Is it anodized ? Would the pellets burning (smoking) burn off the anodize coating? And is the coating burning off, dangerous? I come across different points of view. It is just that I am using high levels of oxygen.

    Smoked Maple BBQ turkey

    Do the maple pellets give it a 'pancake' flavor? Every time I eat maple smoked bacon, I think or taste pancakes. I not a great fan of pancakes. Waffles yes, pancakes no.

    smoking cheese

    OK. It was in the 70's about 2 months ago. Maybe a bit longer. I will try your suggestions next time. I wonder where I read about smoking for 3 hours. And Thanks for the reply.

    smoking cheese

    I am not sure if this is the place or not. I have tried smoking cheese three times. The first was the best. I got a little soft, but edible 1.5 hours. I had tried on a day that was about 72, with the BLACK smoker in the sun The second was OK but barely smoked, 1 hour. I thought. The third was...

    Not in this group, but....

    Where did you find a woman to do that? Mine follows me around telling me what I am doing wrong, but seldom helps. Well she says she is helping me by telling what I am doing wrong. I actually kind of like that. Gives me a reason to drink. But of course I do that wrong too !!! Luckily, she does...

    Good Idea or not ?

    OK, 220v will be more of a consideration. I was told that wiring 220v to my garage would cost about $500 - $700. (I am in northern Colorado). I was trying to keep the cost more reasonable. Yes, it would be nice to 220v in my garage but I do not have a real reason to have to there. The intended...

    Good Idea or not ?

    Oops. I should have written more. I am thinking that I will need 2000 to 2500 watts. Is this a reasonable number? The Bradley seems to have about 800 to 1000. Am I correct on this number? My brother built his own Fridge smoker and used the parts from an old stove. He is using a 8 inch burner...

    Good Idea or not ?

    Hello, I am new here, well I read a lot but this a fairly new posting for me. I own a Bradley 4 rack smoker. It has a problem getting to temp when it is cold, cool outside. So the plan is to make a new one. The chamber size will be about 10 cubic feet. The heating element will be one or two...
