It's a keeper

M mountainmanMember
Several weeks ago I decided it was time to try a smoker again to see if they were as bad as I remembered. Years ago I owned a vertical propane water smoker that never seemed to get the job done correctly.

I looked all over the net and ended up here reading and reading though all the posts.

Finally I made my decision and called Karen Lunsford at COOKSHACK to work through my final buying decisions (what a great lady, thanks again Karen).

Well no thanks to Brown my new smokette finally arrived, fortunately, in great shape, and I immediately loaded it with a bit of hickory for its first break in.

Since then, in its first week, I�ve done a pork but, chicken, salmon, trout, and baby back ribs. No need to go on about how good they were as you all already know.

WOW! As I said it�s a keeper!

Thank you ALL for a great smoker and a great forum full of help!

The salmon was pretty simple (just a quick test).

I took a look through some of my resources and decided that with a wife new to smoking but loving fish, I should keep it as simple as possible. And allow for any sauces to be added after smoking as needed.

Where There�s Smoke suggested that nuggets would take an hour or so.

Smoke & Spice suggested sprinkling rather boldly with salt and pepper and allowing the fish to sit for 15 to 20 minutes before smoking, then smoking for 35 to 45 minutes for a � inch fillet.

The COOKSHACK Smoked Foods cookbook suggested a fairly complicated recipe but I liked the smoking it at 200 degrees with 1 ounce of hickory for 1 and � hours.

My fillets were � to 1 inch in thickness with the skin on one side.
I simply lightly sprinkled with salt and pepper, and allowed to stand for 15 or 20 minutes then smoked them skin side down for about 1 and � hours at 200 degrees with one ounce of hickory.

We loved them. My wife had some of hers cold the next morning and is still smiling (she would not let me finish it for her that night)!

At this rate I may even tell her what I paid for the smokette Smiler
