The Rocky Mountains is the Marrow of the World"Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. "Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men." "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline."

Thanks 6K. I hear you on the brine container. I had to use this stainless pot for this batch as the wife threw out all my big rubbermaid containers over the winter when we renovated the kitchen. This was the first time I have brined fish in a pot and I haven't noticed any tinny taste(it's already half gone). Makes sense about the salt reacting with the metal though. Thanks for bringing that up.
Bought some pure maple sugar at a fruit stand in Keremeos this summer. I put that on just before turning up the heat to finish it off. it made almost like a candy shell on the salmon. worked out perfect.
Looks great. Thanks for posting the pics.
Shoot first, answer questions later.
regarding frozen fish......smoking, candy, jerky.....best was to get rid of the not so new stuff......
awesome pic's. bought a new digital bradley last week, and did my first ever batch of smoked salmon. turned out pretty good in my opinion. going to have to revisit my plans on leaving the fish frozen whole until i smoke though!.... definatly need another set of racks too!
Why? You want one? They sell em in Grocery stores you know.
Congrats on the Bradley sir_brady! I turn out way better smoked product with the Bradley and it is worth every cent.
Oh yeah I did a little research about using stainless steel pots for brining (which I had to do this time) and it is a common item used in brining salmon etc. as well as plastic and (I agree the best) glass containers.
