Finally we are getting some cooler weather tomorrow morning, I thought it was going to be today, but it was 77 when I woke up this AM. Too warm to smoke lox. So I postponed the smoke until tomorrow when the morning temp will be 58. Perfect for lox. I have them drying in the fridge right now. I won't go thru all the steps I do for lox, but if your interested you can get them at: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/homemade-lox-with-recipe-steps-plenty-of-q-view.106029/.
Here they are ready to dry out in the fridge until morning. I had to add an extra day to the cure time because of the weather, but the fish seem perfect. Nice & firm with good color. I'll probably put them on real early on the morning, and they won't take long to smoke. I had a bagel & lox for breakfast & saved the other half for lunch, since it was my last batch from last December. Just as good as when I took it off the smoker!
Here it is ready to get dried out until tomorrow.

Im looking forward to seeing the end result! This is one thing on my cold smoking list i must try soon.thanks for posting the link with the step by steps thats going to help me out when the time comes!
 
Go Al! I know it's going to turn out to be great lox due to the fact that I just followed your recipe about a week ago. I'll be doing it again in a few weeks, seems the wife likes a bagel with shmear and lox every other day. RAY
 
Watching. I really want to try lox. Not the biggest fan of salmon but I think I would like it prepared as lox with capers.
 
Al
I really like your LOX.
One day i will learn to make it.
 
Nice!

Great minds thinking alike... and apparently have the same problems lol.
Mine is drying in the garage fridge waiting to be smoked tomorrow morning. With the cold front that came through I got a jump on it so I could do my lox cold smoke as well here in TX.

I look forward to seeing your results and know my post will not be too far behind yours since I tried a few different things this time around :)
 
I think I have one package left,going to have to look for some nice fillets.
I'm in for the finish

Waiting patiently for the checkpoint.

Point for sure

I’m following to see how this ends up. I have never had lox and I’m sure I’m missing out on something.
 
Will check back when They are in the smoker!

Looks & smells real good!!
Oh, by the way, since I had the Lang out I thought I would smoke a rack of STL's that have been in the freezer forever.
I just coated them with mustard & garlic salt & pepper.

Into the Lang she went!
Gonna run it a little hotter today, thinking 270-280 cause I'm kinda getting a late start!
Will update later.

That salmon looks to be perfect Al, of course! Seems like you're in for a nice day, smokin' up some ribs, maybe have a beer or two, ball on TV. RAY
 
Thanks Ray!
Yea already had a couple of beers, and the Lang just settled in around 300, gonna just let it run there. Spritz the ribs every 30-45 minutes with apple cider vinegar & brown sugar.
Hopefully they will be done for a late lunch, early dinner!
