I have smoked salmon for many years starting while station in Alaska, using Brinkman smokers. After retiring the second time in 1992 and moving to Maine in 1994 I found a new hobby in making my own sausage and trying new adventures in the world of smoking My son is also a member of the Smoking Forum and he recently gave me a Bradley Smoker. It is perfect for my meeds and now being a member of the forum I am looking forward to advance my knowledge on smoking meats. etc I also like smoking wild game and birds the forum should be a great help in providing information on the subject.
