When ever I brined fish for smoking, I've always done the 50/50 salt/sugar.
Sometimes I will toss in a hand full of picking spice or something else to enhance the flavor.
Are you going to smoke with alder? or something else like cherry or apple wood?
Post some pictures when your'e done. And like Muskeg, I too am drooling.
James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
