Thawed a pack of steelhead from this summer. Dry brine over night and after a rinse ,and 2 hrs drying it's SMOKER TIME. More pic when it's done
UPDATE.. . was not happy with the results..... Not sure if it was the dry brine, or cooked too long, but the top was real "chewy". Flavor was good but not happy with texture. ... Smoked it 170 about 7 hrs... Next time a little hotter and quicker ?
What was the IT you were shooting for? I did steelhead last weekend and smoked at 160* and it only took about 2 hours to hit the finished IT of 145*...so if you smoked at 170* for 7 hours, you may have overcooked it, too high temp for too long...just a thought.UPDATE.. . was not happy with the results.....
