    First time smoking Salmon

    I just smoked it for 2:10 hours, based on some of the posts from the forum. Temperature on the smoker started at 230ish and dropped all the way to 190 (temperatures in the 20s made temperature control a bit of a challenge).

    First time smoking Salmon

    We got a real nice salmon fillet a couple of weeks back and I announced that it would be my first attempt at smoking fish. I then promptly forgot about it. Yesterday I thawed it and decided to smoke it. I had read about the time needed to smoke it but not much about preparation. At lunch I...

    need some help - in the middle of a smoke!

    I had that problem and it came down to the amount of charcoal. I usually put 1 full chimney of charcoal, start smoking, and start on the 2nd one. Once that one is ready I put the wood and cover them with the charcoal. That usually gets me to about 220. On longer smokes, I add a new chimney of...

    Trouble keeping the smoker up to temperature

    All the hand wringing (OK. No hand wringing - I had a good nights sleep, rode my mountain bike and washed the car) paid off. After 18 hours the pork shoulder was AWESOME!!!
