Thanks! I like that this recipe doesn't leave the salty rub on for a lengthy period of time. That was one of the several mistakes I made the first time around.

Thanks! I'm printing this out.

Until I bought a WSM 18.5 recently, I'd never smoked anything. I have cooked only two things so far: babyback ribs and salmon. The unmodified WSM maintained the temps I wanted with only very minimal bottom vent fiddling. I used the standard Minion method and full water pan both times. I'd...

The Cole & Mason is by far the best pepper grinder I've ever used. And I've had a bunch. It is a conventional grinder, but you can grind a lot of pepper with it fairly quickly. LINK

Cooked it today with three small chunks of apple. Standard Minion method. I averaged 205 degrees for 1.5 hours total cook time. It was a total failure. The salmon was much too dry, much too salty and a bit too smoky. But my new WSM 18.5 was amazing, maintaining 200-215 deg. F the entire time...

Thanks, Joan. Any recipe with bourbon can't be too bad. ;)

Thanks, Jim. I have a bag of apple chunks, so I can do it like I did the babybacks, with 2 or 3 chunks and maintain temp at 200-225 for 1.5 hours. I worry a little bit about the salmon falling apart taking it off the grate. Using oil as you suggested should help with that. I don't know why it...

Many thanks to all for your excellent advice and encouraging words. I'm going to hot smoke a salmon as my second effort as soon as I can find a really fresh fillet. What do you say about THIS recipe and how best to adapt it for WSM?

I kinda like the idea of doing the salmon next. Make wife happy and it only takes about 2 hours.

Thank you, kind sir.

Sorry, despite my attempts to edit to correct times, some of the times still an hour off. My camera doesn't know we're on daylight savings time.

I could go for that. But my wife wants a smoked salmon next. And the WSM was a gift from her, so maybe I should do that. :sneaky:

Thanks J.

After my very first smoke I noticed condensation in the standard Weber lid thermometer. Not good.

Brisket may be the next thing. I have no clue. Any hints would be most welcome.

So true. The brief wasn't one of my best efforts. But I did it as a favor at no charge. So how good did it have to be? ;)

Ha, somehow I don't think so. ;)

Yup, trying to do two entirely unrelated things at the same time isn't a good idea. Multitasking is an overrated skill.
