Our son was able to buy a used commercial smoker last week and I brought it back with me after helping process the almonds. He bought it to smoke almonds, but without a place to store it I brought it here and as far as I'm concerned possession is 100% of the law!
After searching for recipes for smoked salmon and pork roast we went out and bought salmon filets and a 9 lb pork roast. Of course the recipes served as a base for what we ended up doing.
The 4 salmon filets are soaking overnight in a brine made from water, lots of rum, brown sugar, maple sugar, a little dry mustard and some garlic powder.
The pork roast has a dry rub on it made from paprika, ground from paprika peppers we grew last summer and dried, chili peppers we grew last summer and dried and fresh ground black pepper. I'll do another rub tomorrow before putting the meat into the smoker.
We have not smoked meat like this before so we will see tomorrow if this experiment works or not.
