I've made it both ways this week, using JCave's suggestion of using cedar, and Alaskan salmon, which yielded a slightly firmer yet equally tasty flavor. I'll take some pics tomorrow morning... |

So you'll have an Epi Masterbuilt, and a Masterbuilt smoker! (I use an inexpensive 7-in-1 that works with either propane or charcoal, but I find it better to use the propane to getthe briquettes going,and then pkace the wood on the briquettes rather than heating the wood directly with the propane)

You could use a regular barbecue grill that has a lid tall enough. I'd just light a few briquettes with a propane tor h, not all, put the wet chips on top, then a shallow pan of water on top of that. This way the salmon won't face direct heat, and the charcoal smolders instead of flaming up.... Once you cure the salmon it takes less than an hour to smoke it. |

For my money, pan-grilling is the way to go with salmon, and it take all of 5 minutes. Do it medium rare like a steak, add a Pinot Noir, and you've got yourself a meal!

I eat salmon a few dozen different ways, and I do enjoy grilling whether on an open fire or a pan grill. But sometimes, I have the craving for that smoked flavor - as I do with ribs, cheese, sausage, making my own bacon... I even make my own beef jerky in the smoker. Better (and safer I think) than an electric dryer.
