Many people that try smoking for the first time

Before you put anything back into the cabinets or pantry, take a clean, damp cloth and wipe out the interior shelves. You'll be surprised at snickerdoodles recipe  how much dust can gather inside a cabinet. Your kitchen organization is under way!

 
Many people that try smoking for the first time forget to actually air dry the fish they are wanting to smoke. It is important that your cured, brined salmon is dried in a place that is breezy and cool. This helps a pellicle to form, which is basically a layer on top of your fish that is thin and it helps to seal off the fish and also provides a sticky surface, which allows the smoke to adhere to your salmon. This can be done by putting the brined salmon on a rack and allowing it to dry for a couple of hours.Once you have allowed your salmon to dry, you are ready to smoke it. While you are using the hot smoking method, usually it is best to keep a smoking box at about 140 degrees for great smoking. Usually the temperature will begin rising as the process goes on.

First make a trip to a traditional Chinese wok  easy cookie recipes store and purchase a hand hammered carbon steel wok about 36 inches in diameter. Stick with me now you're not going to have to purchase a truck load of vegetables to fill this rather large cumbersome wok.
While at the wok store also purchase four of the largest steel soup ladles you can find. Now on over to the nearest hardware store. Let's see. Yes a role peanut butter cookie recipes of duct tape. A couple of pieces of the tubular Styrofoam stuff that people wrap their pipes with.
A good large electric heat gun and some good wax. We're almost finished. Just a quick trip to the sports store for a plastic hockey goalies mask and padded clothing. That should do it.
Now back to the kitchen. First slit butter cookie recipe  the Styrofoam so that you can place it around the outer edge of the wok. Then coat the outside with several coatings of wax.
Now this next item will take a little effort. To do this properly you should travel to Germany. Yes. Germany. The folks who gave us the Oktoberfest have now given us the wok race. I would think but have no proof that this technique came to mind after a couple of days of enjoying all that good beer and sausage.
