Smoking Salmon Today

[Rockin Randy]

I brined my Salmon last night. Washed it and let it dry this morning, now it is in the smoker. The recipe calls for two hours of smoking, but does give a temp. Then it says to dry for two to four hours. Do I leave the heat on or off?

Thanks for any help!

heat on with no smoke.

Thanks Leech.  Any suggestions on the temp?

[leechlake]

just hot enough to get the smoke going aka as low as possible.  Depending on that temp will determine how long it's in.

Thanks again!      Randy

I usually do the first hour at about 140 and smoke, then crank it to 190 to get the fish up to 150 and pull it.

What did your brine consist of ? I've been hooked on dry the last bunch. 

Did one new years, ended up cold smoking for almost 2 hrs then put on the heat...similar to eyeguy s

I'm sure it's to late now but.........

For salmon I like to brush some pure maple syrup on the fish about the last 1/2 hr of the cook.
