smoking salmon at a low temperature

[dbrown]

Our neighbor brought us some fresh smoked salmon from Alaska.  It was so good that we asked for the recipe from the camp.  It calls for the temperature to be 130-140 degrees.  Our Guru only goes down to 170.  Any ideas of how to keep it at the low temperature?  It needs to be smoked 8-12 hours.  Thanks for any help.

Janie; Welcome to the forum.

Yes! This one is a simple problem to fix. Turn the cabinet temperature control counter clockwise, until it will not go any further, the dial should be on about the 175 degree mark. Next set your meat temperature to your desired temperature, in your case 130-140 F. Using a piece of foil, wrap the cabinet and meat temperature probes together. Place the two connected probes inside the cabin, this will monitor the cabinet temperature. Next turn the Guru on and make sure that it is in Ramp mode (which is the default). The cabinet temperature will not go beyond the temperature you have set for the meat temperature.
