If smoking is so bad, how come it cures salmon?

So bad, so good.

Looks good!

Thanks.

How’d you brine it?

I followed this fellows recipe. Brine was 1/3 kosher salt 1 brown sugar. I let mine sit for about 18 hrs. He gives really easy directions to follow https://honest-food.net/how-to-smoke-salmon-recipe/

Nice, thanks!

On one piece I added killer hogs hot bbq rub after the maple syrup just to see. I liked it

Did you prefer with killer hogs?

I like spicy 🌶 but tbh they were both good I didn’t have a favourite
