Masterbuilt Slow (Cold) Smoker attachment and Salmon

[Mike Delawder]

Ok as a newbee I have smoked Tri-Tip and Chicken on my Masterbuilt electric smoker (I feel like I'm cheating on my BBQ - but that's another post). I bought the slow smoker attachment and I want to slow smoke Salmon. I realize there are many ways to do this, but as a newbee I could use some help with the following questions:
How long to brine?
Use Ice?
How long to smoke?

This is a great place to learn. Everyone is so helpful!

Are you wanting to make cold smoked salmon, like lox?
Or are you wanting to make hot smoked salmon as in "what's for dinner"?

That attachment is next to worthless. I have two of them. Resins from the wood chips build up after about 2 uses, then you have to get a screw driver or long tool to knock the unused chips down to the chip burner, and that has to be done almost every hour or so.
