So I purchased a Little Chief this weekend specifically to smoke salmon with.
I'm wondering, since the smoker will only reach a temp of 165 max, do I have to worry about bacteria or anything like that? In the past I've used a bigger smoker that got much hotter so getting the fish to 140 + wasn't a problem at all.
I do brine (typically wet) so that should help at least put a little bit of a cure on it?
Thank you!
Bryce
