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)

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)
