As I wrote yesterday we would start smoking the food today. We got up early, I gave the pork roast one more rub then we put it into the smoker. I drained the salmon fillets and dried them on a rack over the kitchen sink, careful not to use anything that might be used for something else.
We put the pork roast into the smoker by 7:30a, on a bottom rack and then started preparing the salmon for the smoker. We made little boats for each fillet then put some rum on the bottom of each fillet boat, laid the fillet on the rum then drizzled some maple syrup on each fillet. We then added the salmon to the smoker. Salmon was done by 12:30 and we each ate ½ of a fillet. It was a little more salty then I prefer but perfectly done and nice flavors of smoke, rum and sweetness. By 7pm we took the pork out of the smoker, it was moist and pulled apart easily. It was very flavorful with the hints of paprika and peppers.
I didn't get any photos of the finished salmon but will take them on our next go around.
Dinner was pork roast with a chilled Hanna Rose Wine 2006 and a salad.
Life is good
