First try at Lox

[tbrtt1]

I had to have a go at this lox thing. I followed the much revered bbally recipe. I still have to smoke it tomorrow but it has been close to 30 hours drying and I had to try some. Damn this stuff is good. Bet after a few hours of smoke tomorrow it will be off the chain.

I think I have some alder dust coming from Todd but hasn't arrived yet. If I plan to smoke today it will be cherry and a little oak. It may have to wait until I get back in town next weekend and I may use the alder then since that seems to be the go to for salmon. Though I have seen many here use hickory and other woods.

Any recommendations?

It should be good.

Happy smoken.

I use alder and apple when I do lox.  Cold smoke for 3 hours.
