    Help wanted for cold smoking a whole salmon

    Hi Dave, I always hear people saying to keep the smoke at a "thin, blue smoke", but being a complete newbie, I have no idea how to achieve this.  If I'm using sawdust in a cardboard box smoker, how can I control the smoke so that it's not completely cloudy and white?  It seems that everytime I...

    How long to smoke.

    Question, If I smoke salmon ahead of time (say a day or two before) and keep it in the fridge, how does it taste when it's reheated on a grill?  Does the flavor dissapate or the texture of the fish ruined?

    First Time Smoker: Questions

    Thanks for the replies, guys! Moikel: I'm smoking in a cardboard box, hahah. In Japan, the charcoal briquettes come in a cylindrical shape with a small hole in the center. It looks like a small black roll of toilet paper, if you can imagine. Anyway, the outside doesnt burn as hot as the...

    First Time Smoker: Questions

    Hey everyone, Today was my first time smoking cheese but I wasn't able to get the wood to smolder and burn on it's own.  I live in Japan, so my selection of smoking wood is very limited.  I picked up a bag of wood chips, but they are much smaller than normal wood chips.  They were about a few...
