Looks great and i have the same brand smoker - I have not had smoked salmon for years. Nice vacuum sealer i picked one up on a big sale and the damn thing didn't work well at all would have had better luck sucking out all the air with out a straw.
$35 with bags i guess you get what you pay for - The one you use seems to do a good job anyway i could get price and model number off ya if it doesn't have any problems been looking for one for some time.
Nice post love all the pictures!

TB - the salmon looks very very damn tasty!!!!!!!!
BTW costco is not always the cheapest for some things, you might of been able save some money buying the salmon elsewhere.
& having the skin on 1 side is not a big deal = another cost saving deal, major fish smoker around here leaves some skin on, no big deal throw the skin in the dog bowl.
you've never tried smoked salmon ?
IMO smoked salmon is far better than salmon cooked in any other form!!
foodsaver brand is a nice vacuum sealer! you can buy them at walmart. I have an older model (something like 5-10 years old) & it still works nicely.

Hey y'all.
Last week I had to make a trip down to Fort Worth to visit some dude with the initials A and J.
I knew a few days before hand that I was going but I just couldn't go empty handed. What to do?
Then it hit me that the local TryNSave had some very nice fish on sale. $8.99 a pound I believe.
All prepped up.
Now normally I do a marinade much the same as I have posted earlier in this thread. This time I went a different route. I had a big ole' jug of Yoshida's Teriyaki Sauce that I got a while back at Costco that I haven't used near as much as anticipated. So I poured a heap of it into a stainless steel bowl, along with several spoonful's of Huy Fong Garlic Chile Sauce and a small can of pineapple/orange juice.
Whirred and stirred and on to the fish for about 18 hours.
Next I yanked it from the 'nade and got it on some racks with a fan going to get a nice pellicle.
The Luhr-Jensen Mini-Chief remains my number one go to smoker for fish.
And here is why...
A big ole pile of goodness.
And my favorite way to eat it.
On a flour tortilla with a schmeer of cream cheese and green onions.
The stuff totally rocked.
Much obliged scovie_deville for your fish post reminding me to post this.

Well here it is! shoot man, I didn't even think to search for Smoked Salmon, as I type I'm saying DUH to myself.
I just posted in the DC about the Chief Smokers, HA! I haven't seen one in years.
That is a site to behold! I swear I would eat that whole plate in one bite. You dare me? HA!
I never would have even thought to marinate in Yoshida's. My ToDo list is growing.
$8.99 lb? Dude that's awesome! You're getting some beautiful fish from that TryNSave place, impressive.
Are you a fan of Salmon tartar? Me too. That fish in the first couple pics looks worthy.
Yes. Yes. and Yes. This thread gets Scovie's 10 Gold stars approval. oolala!

Mucho obliged Scov.
I felt it only fitting to dig up this old thread and post my latest here.
And it came about after I saw your post of your smoked salmon.
Once the weather cools off some, I'll be smoking fish more often.
I have several people I owe some friendly "debts" to and don't feel comfortable shipping the stuff in the heat of summer.
Once I had some mustard in a plastic jar shipped to me in the summer time. When I opened the box upon arrival, the stuff had 'sploded in the box and was still pretty warm to the touch.

Got the same mini, and finished up smoking Kings just 2 days ago that I caught last week out of Brookings, OR.
Gave them a virgin brine---just salt brown and white sugar and some garlic.
Bigs got 6 hrs for smoked salmon, smalls got 8 hrs for salmon jerky.
Lunch the last 2 days was made from a smoked salmon salad sandwich mix.
Almost as virgin.
Salmon
onion
olives
mayo
1/2 tsp of paste I conjured from the Box O' Mixed from Bakers I got on Thursday .
Just enough flavor to accent, but not overpower the smoked salmon, and just enough heat to add body to it.
