I love home cook meals, but I don't have time to cook. I just ordered everything most of the time.

I smoked my first whole brisket. Turned out amazing, forgot to take pics, just the left overs. Only 2 families and there wasn't much for left overs.

Smoked at 225 for 8hrs, wrapped in butcher paper, raised temp to 250 and cooked until 205 IT. Rested 4hrs wrapped in towels inside a cooler. Nailed it.

Wife’s allergic to shellfish so I made coconut chicken tenders instead of shrimp. Mango honey dipping sauce (lil
cilantro and sriracha mixed in) and steamed broccoli. The quietest my tables been in awhile!

Smoked salmon. Both chinook and coho. I went with this smoker over a Traeger due to the price point and, the amount of fish I can smoke at once. I didn’t put up much this time but, it turned out awesome.

I eat those stickers all the time. I forget to check my apples and realize it after it’s too late. Awww F***! 😂

Here’s a good brine for smoking salmon I’ve been using for about 25 years when I smoke salmon. It’s a wet brine. After you cut your pieces of fish up, place them in the brine and leave in the fridge overnight. Usually 8-10 hours. I place a dinner plate over the pieces of fish to help fully submerged them.
I also use a 50/50 mix of apple and cherry wood.

2- quarts water
16- oz apple juice
3/4 cup of white sugar
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of salt.

Give it a shot. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks pretty similar to the brine I use as well. Mine is simple so I can use the salmon in different preps without it being too strongly flavored.

I too do 50/50 apple and cherry. Alder is fine but fruitwood works best for high quality salmon

Yeah,I tried mesquite “ONCE” smoking salmon. It just wasn’t for me. Plum, apple, cherry, orange, lemon and, even peach works really well. I trimmed trees as a kid when I lived in California for pocket money. It’s a shame some of the citrus trees don’t grow in the PNW. But, there’s plenty of apple and plum trees here.
