Totally different recipe for different results. If I was making it for supper I'd do something more like that. The drippings just go down to foil on the deflector plate and roll off so the mess is minimal.
yeah you have to use something or the skin sticks and messes it all up. My recipe would ruin the planks though. I've used them in the past when I didn't have a glaze I added.
I'm 99% sure I have a 720. I've had it for 7 years so can't quite remember. But it is plenty big enough for family smoking. I can fit 2 pork butts and 2 spatchcocked chickens in there at the same time. The only thing that was a tight squeeze was when I did beef ribs.
Honestly, I don’t even like salmon but my wife and youngest daughter do. So, if they’re feeling salmon I’ll smoke some on the planks with lemon and dill and then make something else for me and the middle daughter.
My wife hates fish but loves that salmon recipe. It's super easy, give it a try. I did it in the house oven once too, just used a foil lined pan to make cleanup easier. The salmon is almost candied when you are done. Sounds gross, but dang its good.
I like other kinds of fish, but salmon is too fatty/oily for me.
Well...
I read your recipe to wife she said sounds amazing
I went out and got bourbon maple syrup but not sure the bourbon flavor even comes through. Any good maple syrup would work, meaning not aunt jemimas.

For pellets your best bet is going to be Bear Mountain sold at Academy. Lowest dust I've found, and best price. Work great, never had an issue. And I never empty my hopper after a cook, just leave it in there with a cover over the whole thing until the next cook. Clean it out every 3-4 cooks unless I did something really fatty like a pork butt.
Remember to clean the fire bowl out every couple months. That gets filled up with ash and it can actually cause your auger to back up and jam.
Yup a shop vac to the fire bowl is a must whenever cleaning the drip tray. That is where moisture will gather and turn the bottom of the cup into a hockey puck.
We don't have academy here.
My brother told pretty much the same
Looks like Home Depot carries the brand
I got a bag from Costco too. Don’t have review on them yet but the price was right.
I got two different brands of blends and one charcoal.
All the reviews I saw on Kirklands was lots of dust. You can cure that by sifting before pouring into the hopper. Let me know if you have the same issue or if others are overblowing it.
