My First Salmon Smoke

[macbillybob]

Got a big fillet of salmon at Costco yesterday. Brined it then smoked it today. Apple with a bit of Pecan. It is too good for words. (yes you will see that I taste tested a piece)

That salmon looks good.

I gotta tell you, I ain't a texas fan but hat is an awesom little smokehouse you got there.

Yea, I was concerned for a while there but the color developed just like I was looking for.
I glazed 4 pieces with Dutch's maple glaze. I added some Sambal to spice it up a little. I think that is a hit also.

This looks very tasty! I would like to try this.

What were the details of the smoke? Temp of chamber, how long, did you pull at specific internal temp?

Second batch is in the smoker today. The first try was a huge hit. I hardly got any. If this time is as good as the last (and I don't know why it wouldn't be) I am going to have to do 10 lbs next time.
