Bead and skein. I was in yer neck of the woods.
Salmon
Straight up Dark brown sugar 2 cups,3/4 cup sea salt. Will sit in the slurry for 6-7 hours, put on a rack ( tooth pick hanging ) in the fridge til morning, then in the smoker. I have glazed during the end of the smoke with many different things. I do not use whiskey. I like liqueurs pure. I have a nice pear one still from Ukraine from a good friend. Since half the batch will be for him,I am sure he will like that I used it.
