    I hear you - I always toss a little rib rub type seasoning in with the kosher salt, sugar, and garlic brine mix to tone that down a bit.

    Do you smoke the sturgeon dry or stop when it is Native American Candy (we can't call it Squaw Candy any more). I usually prefer under-smoked (moist) fish, but it's not gonna last as long that way. On the other hand, in my house it's not gonna last long anyhow. It goes on salads, in stews, on...

    The PID you are going to add to your Bradley will allow you to "stage" your smoking times and temps and make it a lot easier for you. You will be able to go have a beer and not spend so much time watching.

    The oil probably helps it retain more smoke flavor than a drier fish would. What wood have you tried - alder, for sure, but apple or cherry might be good for just a little sweetness or maple. I'm a fan of sturgeon, but we don't see it that often up here. Maybe I just don't know where to look.

    Looking For Suggestions!

    To dress my Cole Slaw for pulled pork sammies, sliders, tacos, etc., I use a little lite mayo and a glop or two of SuckleBusters Spicy Peach or Gold to liven it up a bit - it pairs perfectly with the meat.

    Have you tried smoking sturgeon? Since it is fairly oily, like farm-raised steelhead and salmon, it should be good.

    I spent years smoking salmon, steelhead and albacore (my wife's favorite) on Big Chiefs and Little Chiefs before I got the Bradley. I had a little trouble with temp control with the Bradley (dry results) until I swapped out the Digital (kept as a spare) for the Original manual smoke generator...

    Looks like you've got the beginnings of some mighty fine sausage and back strap there - assuming, of course, that is a recent kill. As a fellow Pacific NW smoker, I will look forward to exchanging cold weather tips and tricks with you. I have worn out a couple of smoke generators on my Bradley...

    Smoking in Washington State

    Damn, Gary, now we have two little springs to account for. I like the looks of that reverse-flow smoker you've got there, and I especially like the principle of that type of smoker. After reading your profile, I don't even have to ask who built it, do I? I am starting the dry cure for the...

    Smoking in Washington State

    I know, I know, but that's another subject for another forum. Let's, for now, talk about smoking meat and other edibles. I grew up in Central Texas, went to school in Austin, lived here and there (Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Portland OR, Austin, Seattle) and landed, 25 years ago, on the Olympic...
