Picking mine up tomorrow--Vancouver, BC

[northof60girl]

Hi all
I first want to say that I have read a lot of the posts and am very happy to see how helpful everyone is.  I love the pictures and plan on trying to smoke cheese one day along with every other meat.  I have lots of salmon to smoke in the meantime.  Is there anything special I should do when I first get the smoker (i.e. turn it one and let it smoke with nothing in it).  Thanks all and I hope you're all having a great day!

You should season the smoker. Welcome to the forum. Someone will come by with a link to the FAQ's. Kinda hard to do it off my phone. :D

Let see if this works :D

  Is there anything special I should do when I first get the smoker .

1) Stock up on adult beverages
2) Don't be reluctant to ask any question you may have.
3)Plan to rub some soot on your face to make your significant other think you are working hard

HAHA Gus....my significant others are two cats named Elvis and Priscilla and I'm sure they will enjoy anything that happens to fall out of the smoker!   ???

Welcome to the forum Northof60Girl!

If you have access to salmon you have to try Kummok's Recipe. It's to die for!  ;)

Here's the recipe from the recipe site.

Thanks Mike...I have been reading about his famous smoked salmon and will be trying it.

Thanks everyone else for the welcome messages.  I order a jerky gun today too!  Now I just have to find time to do everything I want to do.
I do have a question that maybe some of you seasoned pro's can answer.  Can I strip down my salmon (bones out of course) and stuff it into the jerky gun and make salmon jerky that way?  Seems feasible but better ask the pro's.

Thanks  :)

Welcome to the forum.  Let me pass along something I learned very early, "The only DUMB question is no question at all."
