More From Alaska

[akclays]

After filleting, brining, smoking, vacuum packing, and putting away a freezer full of salmon this month I figure I haven't quite had enough yet.  I started out thinking that I could find some other uses for my Big Chief but soon learned it was best relegated to taking care of fish.  Reading here I have pretty well come to the conclusion there will be a Weber Smokey Mountain in my future.  Probably will need one of the A-MAZE-N smokers too as I seem to really like bacon.  I bet I can give new meaning to the term "Cold Smoke".  More likely I'll have to build a heated smoke house if I plan to do anything in the winter.  My previous smoking experience is with my Big Chief and with a Brinkman vertical that we used at Thanksgiving for turkeys.  Never remember doing anything other than turkeys in that smoker.  Anyway just wanted to say howdy and I expect I'll have lots of questions about how to keep this thing fired during Alaskan winter.

THANKS for all of the warm welcomes!  I have learned a great deal reading here.  Sometimes it seems overwhelming but I'm sifting through.  I didn't even know what a Fattie was but I will certainly be making some of these!!!
