Do you eat all of this, sell it, or give it away?

[27simber]

how did you do the smoke part how did you get it smokeing like that

[alaskawill]

under the wood chips is an air channel so [wet] chips smolder nicely - smoker has a big air intake on each end - on top all around smoke escapes...

[15joey04]

Nice. ; )

[Brutalnemisis]

what exactly is scotch cure? are you talking about dipping em in the liquer scotch? Im just curios Im looking to build a smoker alot like what you have there but on a smaller scale, and im always interested in new brines :D

[alaskawill]

D,

it's a long story - the simplest way to learn is reading the book: smoking Salmon and Trout by Jack Whelan - it's been around, good information.

As I said: I like rum...

[Deskonet]

where did you got wire shelves net ?

[alaskawill]

one inch mesh salvaged from otter cages...

made a frame 4'x8' out of 2"x2" with spacers every foot - I place 30 fillets on each rack or about 100lb, so you need support otherwise mesh will sag, pull loose from frame...

[oldfacefull]

by red salmon do you mean late spawn phase sockeye?

[alaskawill]

Sockeye salmon = red salmon

[Brutalnemisis]

Red salmon is just another name for Sockeye, most people in alaska (where im from) call them Reds.

[oldfacefull]

yeah alaskawill filled me in already. sockeye=bootfish.

[jst2k09]

it is so quiet and peaceful there. Lucky guy..

[VideoCoffin]

can i be your son :b?

ur living a fantastic life, great videos!

please make more vids

[hahanikka]

yeh i wanna be your son to

[jst2k09]

That salmon looks wonderful! That is quite a setup too.

[068694]

Just to see the smoke drifting out of the smokey makes me feel good.Great simple video of a wonderfu life you seem to have. Wish i had your knowledge. Happy smoking.

[alaskawill]

Thanks for the plug. When in the neighborhood, stop on by, I'll show you around.

[alaskawill]

JR,

Thanks for the invite - how do I join?

Greetings from up North, Alaska.

[uni000ver000sal]

Just saw your filleting video as well and I have to say you have an enviable life style.

Simple, yet very rich.

I live in a city and I am dying to get out and go back to something simple.

Well done and God Bless You.

P.S. I like the Alaskan door latch on your smoking house! and fullfiling!

[oakenshield1]

I agree you on every word!

[alaskawill]

thanks for the good input

[datroof18]

Does one really need a separate house or room to smoke fish? Can I do it on a conventional charcoal bbq?

[alaskawill]

Yes to both questions - with the bbq you'll get kippered fish since heat cooks it - our way is cold smoke, max.65˚

Took a bit to send this, no?

[stumptacular]

i would think that this sort of activity would bring bears running... ??? mmm that sure looks like some tasty grub...

[alaskawill]

bears like fresh or spoiled fish or food in general - smoked out of the smoky house has never been a problem...

[bowcatz]

Now I have a pretty good idea on how much smoke to create while smoking the fish I'll catch tomorrow (1/25/07. Good video. When I get good at smoking fish, I'll make a how-to video and post it here at YouTube.

[alaskawill]

did you post your video yet?

[068694]

Hi alaskawill, Have done some smoking on a lot smaller scale than yours, just cold smoked cod and some cheese. Going to invest in a Bradley as space is at a premium and will try the cold smoked salmon.Not up to the standard required to show the world! happy smoking.
