ok i started my ecourse

i see that kat you are thinking the same as i about doing a ham for easter (very cool).

more about myself

i have smoked maybe 30 pheasants and maybe 50 fish, i used to hunt and fish a lot,

all hot smoked and never more than 2 birds or

5 fish at once, 4 turkey breasts, maybe 12 slabs of ribs and 4 cornish game hens and

oh maybe 100 chicken drum sticks

all with varied but acceptable results to me

i am a firm believer in internal temps for safe eating

i would reather chew on it a little than get sick.

but i love lox and sushi (HAD a pet fish named sushi)

and as i mentioned indian candied salmon

i have seen the horizontal offset mods thread (great ideas there) i already did a few myself long ago

(smoked brains think alike)

again thanks to all for the warm smokey welcome's

xterra

since i started here i have made 2 batches of smoked nuts

just browned slowly in butter on stove, wait till cool off (not cold but still warm) and add 1.5 TBS of 100% maple syrup

and a 1/4 tsp salt, mix and put in foil pan.
