Great! When I was growing up in Steveston, our neighbors had a big smoking tower. It was made of wood and was a few stories tall. They used to smoke a few hundred pounds at a time I'd guess. Comercial fishermen right, they stopped doing it before I got old enough to learn how.
Man I miss having all that smoked salmon though!
I'm no expert but when it's cold or windy I put the box it came in over top of the smoker or I may even wrap an old blanket around it to help insulate it. 3 days of smoking would drive me nuts!!!!! I even use one of those light timers (the ones you use if you go on vacation) if it's getting close to bed time and I figure it just needs a couple of more hours...saves getting up in the middle of the night.
