I saw some grill mats/pads at Lowes the other day. Seemed like they would do the trick.

Hmmmm, never tried that before. I just hang it off the screws that hold the bowl to the frame. IMO, the Performer is the best thing ever!!

Looking good!!!

Try, washing off he cure (with water). Then dry w/ paper towels and let the salmon dry before smoking. When i do it that way, i have no issues with salty taste. I beleive Alton Brown, recommends the same process, but i think he uses fans to dry the salmon.

So, in Rath's recipe did he cook them indirect or direct?

Not sure about the pyramid, I always use the chimney. I beleive the 16.4 bottles will work. I use the coleman bottles and I think they are 16.4 oz I seem to remember the size throwing me off too. Lowes also carries the 16.4 coleman bottles in the section by the grills and the 14 oz bottles...

I have not. I like the idea though. Just make sure it's not to difficult to access the ash catcher. My only other consern would be air flow.

Not to discourage you, but I would not have people over the first time I used a new grill or smoker. I think there is a learning curve for every cooker so I would practice a few times be for I added the pressure of entertaining. If it doesn't turn out so good, talking them into tring your Q...
