    Awesome video. Thanks for sharing! This brings back memories of being a child, when grandpa had a 4X4X8 smokehouse that had many racks in it. I recall several times him & dad smoking the salmon they caught during that years fishing season. They also smoked smelt, & trout too. It was so many years ago, I couldn't remember what they used to brine the fish with. Now I have a recipe to try smoking some of my fish. I like the Big Chief idea. It seems better suited to a solo fisherman's harvest.

      My grandpa also has a smoke house that sounds very similar to that. Nice wooden slat racks, beautifully oiled. I'm glad you have something to try out now! Yea, the Chiefs are great little smokers for a quick batch!

    Makes the mouth water for sure! We use fifty pound bags of salt from the cold storage as it is way way cheaper and spray the racks with Pam in any flavor you like for a bit easier application. Sockeye and King are hard to beat but all are good. Take care. Doug

    I love the skin as I make salmon skin rolls. Grill or toast up the skins with eel sauce then with julienne cucumber wrapped with seaweed and it is so good. Only thing better is the eggs/roe
    My problem is I 'test' way too many when smoking them. I do have a customer who drives for ACME smoked fish and he hooks me up every now and then with salmon and smoked whitefish. ACCME cold smokes(lox) and is soooooo good. Sometimes I also make a Gravlax and a tremendous one is beetroot cured salmon. The recipe lied as it said the salmon will last for days but it was gone by the end of the night.
    I envy you folks and your parents did well raising you

      For those following along, 8lb's I cut my strips 1 1/4 wide, 7 hr brine 3 cups brown sugar, 1 cup salt, 1 tsp clove/ 1 tsp ginger (could not taste either but smelled overpowering). Dried under fan for 2 hours. Sprinkled pepper. smoked over 2 pans of cherry and a few hours of just heat. Tastes really good. Neither sweet or salty/ definitely not candy, I think a honey glaze would be a nice touch. I have another 10 lbs in the freezer I will do the same way but probably do a honey glaze for fun. I wish I could get alder where I live but this is great as well.

      @EISAlaska  4 года назад +1

      Howdy Joel. According to the Big Chief site, its around 165 degrees Fahrenheit. A pan of chips lasts 45-60 mins. I did 3 pans of chips, usually just 1 after the next. Total time in the smoker, I'd say 12 hours and as short as 9-10 hours for the skinny ones. Also, take note that it was still pretty cool out, it would go much faster in the summer, probably 6-8 hours for the batch. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment!

    Matt, Nice job on this fish and the video. I take it this is more of a cold smoke method. I just did up some King but used a hotter smoke. What temp are you running that smoker at if you don't mind throwing out that information.
