Wow, I love the look of your new smoker. Easy to get to the salmon with the rack design. And the pic with the smoke appears to have plenty available for a good smoke flavor. Looking forward to how it works for you and if your happy with the design/construction.
One thing I do know, if you can fill all those racks consistently, I NEED to come fish with you!!!!! Lol

That really looks great. Job well done.
Let’s go fishing.

How awesome for you. So then, you must know Capt Steve's fishing lodge of Ninilchik ? Just sent the captain some Salmon jerky.
Think that smoker will be producing a lot for you. Can you control how much smoke the generator puts out. Will you be using pellets or wood chips/chunks? I assume there's a vent on top or something similar?

Yes Ive known Steve for a long time. About 35 years. Lol. Small world.

 

[cmayna]

Wow! Yes a small world indeed. With the amount of smoke that generator will be putting out and the size of that smoker, I do hope the exhaust vent will be able to keep up with it. Thus why I was asking if you can control the amount of smoke generated.

So next pic we expect to see is a bunch of Coho laying around on the racks, puffin' away . Cheers

 

[MileHiGuy]

That looks absolutely awesome. Great job! I have no experience so I can give no advice on this but it looks like it would work great. I guess the only thing I would want to know is how is the smoke created by the unit that is attached. Forgive my ignorance.

 

[MileHiGuy]

Sorry, I looked up the smoke generator you are using...I understand now

Yes the smokai generator i got allows me to adjust the flow of smoke

Your smokehouse looks awesome, well done! A question about the Smokai, are you using chips or pellets? Cheers
