Hello everybody, I've been a member on smf for a couple of years & find it great to get tips on all aspects of BBQ. After all this time I thought I would introduce myself.
I started smoking when I saw a chef on tv lightly smoking some fish in a tiny tin box & thought I'd like to try it. Off I went on eBay & got a fish smoker. Pretty quickly I realised that you could smoke other things rather than just fish but I would need something bigger, that's when I bought my proQ excel & I love it.
Would post photos but haven't figured that out yet.

I haven't tried fish yet and, if you are doing some, I would love some Qview of your technique!

Hi Lozza

Welcome to the ever growing Brit contingent on SMF 

. What else do you smoke now? Cheese too I expect. Some photos would be great when you get the chance.

As you like the hot smoked salmon you might find this of interest. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/140785/smoked-fish-fillets-salmon-cod-and-haddock-q-view

Hi, My name is Steve Binkowski. originally from Buffalo NY living in Sarasota FL for 20+ yrs.

I have been making sausages since I was in my teens, my dad taught me. But we used to make fresh sausage without smoking, bought a hot & a cold smoker last year (Big Chief cold smoker & a Cabelas 7 in 1 smoker,) love them both.

I really enjoy making Smoked Polish Sausage, beef stix. meatloaf, fish.

Been following SMF for some time, thought I would join the forum and share smoking tips & stories with my fellow smokers.

Glad to be aboard,

Steve

Hi Wade, I do cold smoke cheese which is great on burgers, garlic bulbs, chillies & even sea salt with various degrees of success.
I've done all sorts of BBQ smoking pork shoulders, pork & beef ribs, beer can chicken & this weekend I'm doing a British brisket which is rolled & quite small so I'm going to try & do it similar to the beef ribs I did which turned out ok, not anywhere close to the amazing beef ribs & brisket I've seen on you tube & on BBQ pitmasters but they were enjoyed by my small group of friends.
Practice makes perfect I guess.
Thanks for the link that looks fantastic & a similar cure that I use for my cold smoked salmon.
