Hello from the PNW. 2D Newbie
« on: July 29, 2023, 08:30:59 PM »
I have been smoking on a cheap propane Masterbuit for a number of years, but it finally rusted out and I decided to step up.  I had a terrible time with flucuating temperatures with that Masterbuilt.  Just did my first smoke on the 2D which was salmon.  Did all the prep work on the salmon and got it in the smoker.  I smoked it at 140 for 1 hour and then at 165 for 1/2 hour. The fish came out just under 150, but with quite a bit of albumin.  Maybe I ran the smoker a bit too hot.  Anyway, glad to be here and looking forward to many successful smokes!

Welcome, I have found that lower temps at first helps keep the albumin down.
