Welcome to the forum from Central California, I get most of my salmon from Costco too.  Good luck on the cook/smoke.

It was awesome! What a meal. I kept it simple. Garlic, ginger and butter, right out of recipe book from Bradley. It still needed 4 minutes under the broiler, but it was the strongest salmon taste I've ever had. Rich and full tasting.

I am happy.

Wife is on me for salmon .  Need to research those things.  I figure after spending about 40 hours I research I should be ready.

Welcome to the Forum from the Texas Panhandle.  Have you tried Kummocks salmon recipe?

It is amazingly good and fairly easy, I would highly recommend it.  The only thing I do differently is I cut them into thicker  (1 to 1.5 inch thick) pieces and rinse them well after the brine which seems to reduce the saltiness.  I buy my salmon from Sams which I think was previously frozen.  I think if it was previously frozen, it will absorb more salt, so a quick rinse makes it about right.

Today is my third smoke with my (still) new Bradley digital 4 rack. I have a split chicken, two big juicy chicken sausages, and a couple of sea trout that peeped at me from the ice chest. Those are for my wife. The chicken and sausages are for me and the kids. I have a feeling the sausages will be mine. All mine.

I've learned something each week. This week I am learning the mystery of beer and smoking, which I now understand gets harder the more beer you drink, but also a lot more fun.

I have the Michigan Indiana game on, sitting on the patio in perfect 78 deg weather, smokin'. And drinkin'.
