That looks great. Looks very moist and unctuous. When it is still warm off a two hour smoke fatty salmon is unbelievable. You'd think it'd dry out but 200-225 is just fine for hot smoking salmon.

This was more like 140 for a couple of hours, then 200 for another couple of hours.  Same result though :) 

I read that if you do it more slowly you get fewer white bits on the surface, it seems to be working.  It takes a while, but it's great!

I wouldn't care so much if this was just for me and the family, but I'm trying to get a really nice looking whole filet for a party in a couple of weeks.

I just had some more . . . it's so good!  The salt level is perfect, smoke level is great.  The thicker parts are a little soft for me, but just right for others.  The thinner pieces are right where I like them.  Best one yet.

Oh, I should say that that 7 lb fish was ~7 lbs after cleaning and minus the head, but before fileting.  I'll have to measure my fileting efficiency one of these times, but I'm guessing I get ~2/3 of it as boneless filets.  I've been following this video for unzipping a fish, it works pretty well for me.  Does anyone have a better way to filet?

By the way, has anyone noticed how much more charcoal you go through when it's less than 40F out, compared to when it's over 70f :)

I'm smoking some chuck roasts now to make those sandwiches markaberrant posted a couple of days ago.

It's more of a machete than a filet knife, and way sharper than mine :)

Yes, I generally use more charcoal during the late fall/winter/early spring months. Charcoal adds a significant cost to my longer smokes for sure.

The wolfpit recipe looks slammin'...and I would add plenty of horseradish to top the sandwiches. The key to this cut of meat is a nice marble.  ;)

That's why I love my electric smoker. After I got my first gas grill, I swore I'd never buy charcoal again and I think I've kept 99% of that promise to myself. If they made a good electric grill, I'd look into that as well. I've thought about making my own.

Different strokes for different folks.

Using charcoal and wood together produces more NO2 (sodium nitrate) and therefore a better smoke ring than electric and wood which equates to better flavor. This is the key difference not to mention cost which varies by consumption and unit cost. This all goes back to the quality over quantity debate. I recommend using the method of one's choosing but keeping in mind the end result may vary.
