Applewood smoked salmon (covered in honey and spice blends) for my partner and I and the pup, then throwing some hickory wood on and doing some smoked pineapple spears (coated in cinnamon and brown sugar)
also, this is a super doxxable pic just so you know, might want to take this down

Here she is being sick of my shit while I took her out a night or two ago
Man hot smoking salmon yourself is such a move. I put it off for the longest time thinking that it was really hard to pull off well (you know, without pushing out all the stuff that keeps it moist) without a electric pellet smoker. Gave it a go earlier this year and it was so easy with farmed salmon. I suspect that non farmed salmon, with the lower fat content, probably takes more skill on an offset smoker but I came away with the idea that farmed salmon is an absolute breeze to smoke. In fact, the next time I give it a go I'm going to be a lot more lazy/aggressive with the heat levels because if anything it wasn't dry enough

it does. but it helps if you use a wet marinade to give it extra juiciness to stop it from turning into leather
I didn't at all, just did a wet brine for a bit and let it set on a rack. They were very not dry, like enough that I felt like I really missed the drier stuff I've bought in stores or whatever. I guess its a crapshoot on exactly how well I smoked them though, I just used the temp gauge on my barrel bc I don't have anything else right now so I might been a lot more gentle with them than I originally thought. They were legitimately too soft/moist though, imo.
I did bast like half of them with maple syrup, but I felt like it never tackied up the way I wanted it to (was trying to replicate candied salmon that I remember having as a kid)
I bet that salmon is delicious. Sounds like a chill Saturday night
Hell yeah. Gonna get the fire smell off me, then eat and watch movies while the clouds come in
We are all inside corgiwithalaptop's bellybutton on this blessed day
Def going to have to meet up some time, I can always bond over smoking and grilling food! ❤️
I am jealous, my back area is nothing but a cement slab. I really want to grill out there but I also want to be close to some grass and dirt.
Our back in concrete, this area is usually covered with bushes but the landlord paid someone to pull 'em up this week.
