Been making smoked salmon lately - and I put together this kit I've had for a little bit to get some space between the pieces. 

More surface area = more smoky deliciousness.

This second rack worked really well!

More Smoked Salmon

We had several people over for Easter. And that meant making barbecue. And that meant fixing the Big Green Egg (that I have been procrastinating on for quite some time). I ended up fixing the alignment and changing out the gaskets. And this all took a long time (a lot longer than I thought). After all that it was time to smoke some salmon and grill some chicken!!!! I wasn't able to get after shots - everything got eaten before I could shoot. Here are the befores - Happy Easter!!! The Big Green Egg is back in action!!!

Smoked Salmon for Dinner

This batch came out superb! Here they are with the brine washed off. There they are staged on the smoker (indirect heat, 230 degrees F). And here they are about to get demolished - so ono! I love our Big Green Egg!

Posting Late - July 4th Weekend Pictures - Friday First

Boy that weekend went by fast... We did a bunch of stuff, but mostly on the land side of amphibious. I did go fly fishing on Friday - in fact it was with the Trout Unlimited group out here in Hawaii and we had a bunch of military guys in some form of rehab program (not Wounded Warriors or Project Healing Waters), but I didn't take any pictures. I did catch another small kaku that was hanging out in the super shallows (and lost a second), and I saw several lone oio. I took shots at the oio, but I didn't have a crabby fly on (I was fishing for kaku remember?). And I decided to try my hand at smoking some salmon. I followed a rub recipe from the "Let's Go Fishing Hawaii" cookbook and the fish came out great!!! I think we just finished off the last of this batch. YUMMY!!!
