This was a long 9 hour smoke (2hours of alder smoke and seven dry time). I used Kummoks recipe as always. This salmon was so thick I was getting worrried after four hours and opened the door and it was a sweaty white fish but Kummocks recipe pulled threw and another top notch batch of salmon.

Way to turn fish into gold, Keymaster! Glad it turned out great for you....tough choice on whether to grill the fresh fat ones or smoke them...either way a good decision  ;)

You can be proud of that fish for sure.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

Very good looking fish. What do you suppose that fish weighed!! ::)  Because I like the flavor of Kummoks brine so well I might have split the fish through the middle so they would not have been so thick and you would have more of the surface with kummoks brine on it.

I think he said it weighed 45# Kirby, it was too thick to smoke, it was good but I like the smaller fish for smoking.

Big salmon, little salmon all end up the same size in my smoker......like KC said it's all about more surface for the sweet/smoky glaze (for my own taste, that is...)





Edit: I should point out that the middle (2nd) picture is "steak size"...that is the size I use for grilling & blackening. When smoking, these steaks then get reduced into the "smoking size" shown in the upper (1st & 3rd) pics.

If I do More Big stuff I will definately cut it up like your pictures Kummock ;)
