    This is inspiring. A university level instructor/chef being a willing participant in a UA-cam tutorial that blends bbq with culinary expertise and shares it with others is admirable and much appreciated. Now you're really delving into the theory and science of bbq.

      @hugh.bullen 2 роки тому

      I agree. I’d say follow the cure they do on here and then look at getting a Pro Q cold smoke generator for cold smoking. You can put it in any smoker/bbq and it will smoulder away for about 8 hours.

    I use the same 50/50 mix of kosher salt and light brown sugar. I score the fish down to the skin into 1" strips. Once the cure is done, I let it dry overnight before smoking as low as my smoker will go, using cherry or Applewood. This is similar to the way we did it when living in Alaska many years ago. So good.

    Hey Jeremy I really like your videos. I have a pellet smoker and was wondering, since a true offset smoker give better smoke flavor to meats than a pellet grill. Do you think adding a smoke tube would help? I would love to see a video of a comparison of an true offset smoker and a pellet grill that has an added smoke tube to see if it makes any difference. I didn’t see any video from you on this. Wasn’t sure if you had any suggestions to improve smoke flavor with a pellet grill. Thanks

    Hey All
    I have a small pellet grill I bought on special because they are clearing out floor space for Christmas and got a great deal at Wally's world.
    But I added the side smoker box to it for cold smoking and I did salmon last weekend but not a long slow smoke due to time problems and last minute changes.
    I was really surprised on how well it did with the cold smoke box did on the flavor.
    I put a salmon fillet and a bunch of frozen shrimp for a few hours and the side smoker box really did a great job but just did the smoke flavor then moved to the hot side to finish it all off . And now way too long of a post but keep up the great videos

  • @braddixon3338
    @braddixon3338 2 роки тому

    I've smoked a lot of salmon, but I've never buried it in that much cure and left it for a couple days like that, totally crazy to me, but I'm not doubting the chef as he knows his stuff, just something new to me. Same with drying in the fridge for a couple days after the cure, something I've heard before. I also add other adjuncts to the cure to impart other tastes, things like ginger, and clove are different and produce a great product. I'll have to see about this when I pull my yearly salmon out of the local river this fall.

    For anyone trying this recipe, I would recommend against the 1:1 brown sugar and kosher salt. Followed this recipe exactly how they explained time wise for curing and smoking as well as soaking the salmon in cold water to leech out any excess salt, and it came out EXTREMELY salty. I would recommend 4:1 or 5:1 brown sugar:kosher salt respectively. Also, make sure you have good cuts of salmon and are watching thinner/thicker cuts as they finish at different times in the smoking process!

I'm from the west coast of Canada and I ruined many beautiful Coho salmon with so many complex brine recipes that simply didn't work 😑....then my fishing buddy's neighbor, an old timer, told us to stop wrecking our fish and how to use Demerera Brown Sugar and course kosher salt. Wonderful....btw, you'll know if you've rinsed off your cured fish enough if you rub the flesh with your finger and lick your finger...if it tastes salty, rinse some more. 👍❤🙏
