Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Rural Living Smokin!

It's the time if year here in Northern lower Michigan when the salmon are in the harbors and piling up at the river mouths. My buddies and I have been pulling a few in the last couple of weeks, including 4 between me and my bud, Jared, on Wednesday morning before work.

They're not much good for the frying pan or grill this time of year, but are pretty good smoked. I brined up a batch yesterday and put them on the smoker a little while ago. Last Wednesday's haul...


My homemade smoker, loaded up and ready to work...


I'm looking forward to sampling the results in 3-4 hours. 🙂

Looks Good!!!

What flavor chunks?

Apple. Not sure what particular kind. There's a handful of old apple trees scattered around my property from the days when the area was farmed. I just clip a few limbs when I'm going to smoke something.

It came out pretty tasty. I'll probably back off a bit on the amount of brown sugar I used because it's almost like smoked candy, but it's darned tasty.
