Smoked Salmon and OVD rum

Post by scotia » Thu Aug 15, 2013 6:12 pm

Pic of a smoker I made a few well several years ago, the bottom barrel is the fire box the top is the cooking compartment the salmon weighed 20lb gutted this was then brined for 24hrs after that washed thoroughly. The source of heat was elm and a broken whisky cask. The salmon was basted on regular intervals with Rum and brown sugar. This is a hot smoking process where you cook with the heat from the smoke. Do yer magic jim. :)

Low post count means pics don't show yet. Gave it a boost :D
I only have a charcoal grill but even just using a smoker box on that gives nice results, better than nothing anyway. Just smoked some whiting and I love smoking mackerel. I just grill my Scottish salmon right now though, it tastes so good already!!
Sommeliers recommend that you swirl a glass of wine and inhale its bouquet before throwing it in the face of your enemy.
