Thanks Ghoster! I tell you what, everyone in the family has really enjoyed the lox, I think we’ll be doing another batch pretty soon!73S, great post. I'd been considering the mazen tube for sausages. Hadn't thought about doing Salmon. Wife loves the smoked salmon, and I've gotta say, looking at your pic of the loaded bagel ready to eat, it looks awesome. Its starting to cool down here in Aus as we come into Autumn, so will give this a try.
