Stovetop Salmon Smoking w/Pics

[bill barilko]

I put a few similar pics in the past-this is with the Spring Salmon we caught a few days ago.

First the fish is cured in a 50/50 salt/sugar mix this one was 36 hrs a little longer than usual but it worked well.

Ready to roll!

45 minutes and she's done-this was a thick chunk

Tail chunk-you can see the smoke starting to rise-time to put the lid on.

Ready to eat but it'll be much tastier after sitting in the fridge for 24 more hrs.

STOVE TOP?!?!?!? OMG! I had no idea you could do that. You don't use a flavoured brine? how do you make it smoke? Is that just a regular roasting pan and lid or do you have a special pan for it?

I have a special pan but you can use a wok easily enough it ain't rocket science otherwise I could never figure it out.

The Original Stovetop Smoker


Not my fave but you see the idea you can use Tea & sugar instead of wood chips google is your friend.

You don't want your fish contaminated with AL2O3 do you?

contaminated? Looks like that's medical grade stuff.

 

[petros]

Medical grade aluminum?

 

[Twila]

Medical grade aluminum?

When I looked it up this is what showed:

Alumina or aluminum oxide (Al2O3) in its various levels of purity is used more often than any other advanced ceramic material.

Oxide Ceramics – Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3)

 

[petros]

You'll taste it. Brine and aluminum are a bad mix.

If you like smoked foods go the easy route and avoid the hassles

Why not buy a used Bradley for $100.

Considered by most experts to be one of the best home smokers made.
Canadian made and no open flame.
Timer and heat control included

Kicks out brisket to rival the stuff from Texas.
Smoked links as tasty as Cajun made.
Highly recommended.

Jackpot. Bradleys are the best. Little and big Chiefs are more aluminum garbage.

would these provide a savoury flavour? I don't like the sweet smoked salmon. I prefer hot smoked savoury.

Zero sugar in it and comes in hickory, maple, mesquite, birch etc.

I can get a new one for that price but it's no use to someone who lives in an apartment-sorry to disappoint.

Note the Stovetop I have is Stainless Steel and my fish is dry-brined in a non reactive bowl.

I understand completely and did not understand that is where you lived.
Apartments and condo's can be tricky.
Many do not allow BBQ's (some possibly electric only).
And a smoker... well probably not.

As to buying a new Bradley for $100.
I would urge you to purchase them by the trailerload for private resale.
Bradleys run around $300 to $400 on Van Isle.
Victoria Kajiji has several used ones from $125 to $300 or so.

I used to sell them retail and still have the contacts but being in that business doesn't interest me at all.

People on Vancouver Island overpay for everything constantly.

Standard Bradley at Bass Pro Calgary $ 369 Digital way more.
Standrd Bradley at Cabelas Texas $299
Standard Bradley at Canadian Tire Van $299.

So here is the deal.
Hook me up with your "guy" for new,legal, factory wrapped Bradleys at $100 and I will pay you a finders fee of 20% of the net.
Or if your a bird in the hand kind of guy I will give you $10 a unit up front finders fee.
I put up the money, burn the fuel, stocking, transportation and all that.
You just sit on your tush.
I am on the Island and good to go.
Let me know.
Lets get you out of that apartment and into somthing a little more roomy...perhaps in Oak Bay

Best way to do salmon is over an open fire. Alder for smoke. Perhaps a little molasses for flavor.
