If it works

[slowpoke]

So if it works,stick with it,I say. ;D OK I did another salmon LOX,mussels and baby bell lights.

Soaked the mussels in the lox bath.


Had to show the system in action.
Sorry no money shots,but they tasted some good.This salmon was the best so far.6hrs Jim Beam temp never got above 64*.

You mind posting the brine you used for your Lox?

I bet those mussels were good! ;)

Hey Muebe,The Lox recipe is from the sight here.9.5 cups water
                                                                       1 cup koshar salt
                                                                        1 cup brown sugar
                                                                       1/3 cup real maple sugar
                                                                         1 Tbsp whole black pepper
                                                                         1/2 clove garlic
This is the wet brine you make the night before.The day you smoke you dry brine for 4hrs with 2 cups koshar salt and 3 cups brown sugar.After 4hrs take out of fridge rinse real good and place the salmon in the wet brine for 20 min.place on an over turned rack and let air dry for 15 min.I cold smoke for 6hrs 2apple,2maple and 2cherry.Rest the salmon over night in the fridge then cut and enjoy.
I do the mussels in steam,shuck them,off the beards and soak for 5min. in lox brine.Smoke for 2hrs.then remove from smoker
Very important!!!!! keep your temp down while cold smoking no more than 80*max.I keep mine at 64*-68*with ice.LOTS of ICE lol Joe

Thanks for the info Joe.

My cold smoking setup works very well so not problem with temps. I think I will give the Lox a try when the temps start cooling down a bit... and I find some Salmon on sale ;)
