1) Get Ski to catch and butcher a bunch of westcoast alberts

2) Ski arrives at my place with a bottle of Jim Beam (most important stage this one)

3) Rub Bradley's Sugar Cure on to chunks

4) refrigerate for 24hours

5) rinse chunks in fresh water, lay out on racks, pat dry with paper towels



6) load Bradley



7) set oven temp at 60-70c for one hour to dry off surface from excess moisture

8) sprinkle then rub brown sugar in to chunks

9) bring temp up to 95c with Alder Wood smoke for one hour

10) reduce temp to 65c for 4 hours and continue to smoke

11) go out spend the rest of the day with family

12) get back tot he smoker some 6 hours later



12) eat as is and drink the Jim Beam!!....very very tasty this one...no Albacore is safe ever again!

Happy new years peeps!!

You boys tried a true cold smoke yet? Raising internal temp of fish to around 70c cooks the fish so is technically a loooooong hotsmoke. Which I have had a couple of cracks at so far with my bradley (and it produces an awesome result). But I am waiting for my first kingie of the season to do a cold smoke of no heat only smoke for 8 to 12 hours.
 
Wondering if any of you had done this? And whether you put ice cubes in bowl to keep temp down in smoker etc etc... Just after some basic troubleshooting so I don't stuff up a whole king in the smoker.

Bull, there are a couple of things you need to know, if you want to do a true cold smoke, you have to cure the fish first which can take a few days, but remember a true cold smoke does not cook so at any point the meat has to be cooked whether it at low temp or not, it is like making bacon, you can cure it and preserve it with cold smoking but it is still raw, at some point it still needs to be cooked, in order to get a good cold smoke out of your bradley, don't put the oven element on and only the generator, put the unit in the shade, don't put ice in it as it melts it can do damage if it leaks, the temp should only be 40-50C, now if you want a true cold smoke i have on the water an adapter that you can put the generator into and it has a long expandable pipe that plugs into the main oven, i have been working with this over the last week and it works perfectly, so if you can hold off smoking a kingie for a few weeks them there will be a true solution available, i hope this helps with your questions, pm if you need any more info, mark

I've had a look at the bradley forums and got a couple of recipies for cold smoked salmon. One of them you do a dry cure to draw the moisture out and a wet cure to add the flavour before you even smoke.

Also getting some curing salts so I can do cold smoked meats which are a raw product. Did my own procuitto last year and managed to not kill anyone with botulism! Next time however I will be happier with the curing salts which kill the bot! Curing salts contain nitrates and nitrites... never remember which way but one is for air dried cured meats and one is for cooked (internal temp above 71c) cured meats like smoked salamis.
 
Disclaimer both Botulism and Nitrates can kill... So if anyone gets any fancy ideas... do some research!
 
Me i'm purely theoretical at this stage... looking forward to making it a hell of a lot more practical over next while, hopefully without killing anyone (particularly me) in the process.
 
GAMFSH thanks for your reply, not sure I'll get one of those attachments just yet!

GAMFSH had a look at one of the bradley cures and they didn't mention anything about nitrates, given that nitrates can kill I would have thought a north american product would have disclaimers all over the sucker. So given that the cures I guess are just sugar, salt and flavouring? PM sent always keen to get more info.

Kezz, inerested in the attachments you've used to mount the bradley onto a wall and how you got the tuna to stick to vertical shelving?

Seriously, that looks mint (he says sitting in the deck at omaha, cold steinie in hand, with a fat trev in the bendlerly smoker).
Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water.

Kezza, meet you at Benders in 45. Lets eat his fish, drink his beer and steal his fishing tackle
