    Not really! Smoking fish (halibut and tuna) under the gazebo during our typical "dry side" snowstorm! Went salmon fishing and brought home 3 nice Chinook in the 20-25 lb range. Smoked a couple of filets and they turned out "OK".

    Yesterday, made up a different brine (my own recipe) and put 5 chunks of tuna and 3 pieces of halibut in and soaked them overnight. This morning, i let them form a crust and put them on the barbie with some smoldering applewood pellets. Four + hours later, 3 of the tuna were a rich, deep mahogany color and very firm. The 2 pieces of halibut were a light orange and flaked beautifully! The remaining 2 pieces of tuna remain and I'll take them off in a couple of hours!

    Tomorrow, I'll slow smoke some cheddar and jack for X-Mas presents.

    Yeah!! Right on the Columbia. We fished Vernita Bridge/Hanford area and limited in an hour (3 fish for 3 people) all 20-25 lb range. Saw one elk watering along the River.

    The kitchen smells like smoked tuna!! I smoked 4 pieces yesterday and haven't vacuum sealed them yet! Smoked salmon, tuna, cheese (I'm doing the cheddar today, pepper jack next week, and 2 tri-tip Christmas Day) for our X-Mas basket gifts to friends. Along with banana-walnut=huckleberry bread and orange/cranberry bread.
