This was my first attempt at smoking salmon and it turned out great. I used an Orion Cooker so it took a little improvising I thought I would share. I used about half as much charcoal as usual. After starting the charcoal I waited till the apple wood and alder wood chips started to smoke before putting the alder planks and the salmon on the top two grlls. I had to saw the planks in a circular shape to fit the grill and used the scraps from that along with apple wood for the smoking. I smoked it for 30 minutes and took the lid off to prevent over heating and put the lid back after about 5 minutes and smoked another 30 minutes. Then I took the lid off and basted with the brown sugar mixture and smoked for another 30 minutes. I smoke two 3 pound filets from the grocery store. Where I live fresh caught wild is not an option. I wish it was. But it was great anyway. BoRoo
