Simple Cold Smoked Salmon with a $14 Pellet Smoke Tube

[@SmokeEater509]

I'm about to try a cold smoked salmon this weekend for the first time. I have the same smoke tube you purchased and it smokes like crazy even when half-filled. Good tutorial and love the shirt.

Thank you. You should check out my updated version of the cold smoked salmon. It was even better.

Hello! Thank you for this insightful video. I would like to share a tip to light the pellets in the tube. As you fill up the tube with the wood pellets, dip a small handful of those into rubbing alcohol for a little while and then place them on top of the dry pellets. This will make it easy to light the pellets, as isopropanol is a very potent combustible, so you don’t need to use a torch. A barbecue lighter will do. Additionally, it is as safe as the wood smoke because isopropanol produces regular smoke (carbon dioxide and steam) as long as it has no additives. I hope this helps. It is certainly cheaper than a torch, so if money is a concern go get yourself pure rubbing alcohol!

Thank you. It’s a great idea.

Thanks for this video. I've done some cold smoked salmon over last year and they turned out great until I tried some Sockeye and it came out dry and flakey, and just tried it again with Sockeye, same results which was driving me crazy until I saw this video. I think you saved me some detective work and frustration. It's all about the fish. Cheers!

Thank you.

Fish jerky and cold pivasik is a perfect combo 👍

100%

Is it possible to freeze the smoked salmon? I have about 2 lbs..a bit too much to consume at one time.

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

Yes. I’d vacuum seal it though to prevent freezer burn.

[@tigercap100]

How long do you smoke it. Is it per pound?

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

Around 4-5 hours. That’s about how long the pellets last.

[@WorldTravelerCA]

Perfect temp is 72-79 tops but not higher mn

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

Thank you

[@skipdavison7682]

Sorry, but Steelhead is trout not salmon

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

I’m aware. My mistake.

[@natalialeontieva849]

Молодец 👍👌👏👏❤️

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

Thank you.

[@MegaA10warthog]

Looks good, thank you. I cannot wait to try this. Black rifles coffee👍

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

Thank you.

[@TW14137]

Another good vid ruined with unnecessary background noise.

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

Thanks for watching.

[@MegaA10warthog]

I have to stop you 50 seconds in..steelhead salmon?..no such thing Sir..it's either a salmon or a steelhead. I'll keep watching tho

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

The store had it labeled that way and I read off the label. Sorry I’m not perfect.

[@MegaA10warthog]

@@ToTheCoreMedia such a non issue..I shouldn't have posted that. Enjoyed your video tho..thanks

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

Not a problem. Thanks for the correction.

[@markwybierala4936]

Absolutely. Big difference between what I know as “Smoked Salmon” and “Smoked Cooked Salmon”. I wonder how many people will never experience cold smoked salmon because they don’t understand. So sad. All you need is a wooden box, a smoke tube, and chilly weather. Thanks for sharing this experience.

[@ChandlerNoll]

You lost me when you said "Steelhead Salmon"... 🤦‍♂️ Steelhead are ocean running rainbow trout, they are not Salmon.

[@ToTheCoreMedia]

I’m aware. Realized it after the video was already uploaded.

[@I_Am_Killer_B]

I bet you're fun at parties, Chandler.

[@giand5719]

He's probably not a fisherman. I've seen many labels on the packaging saying "Steelhead salmon" meanwhile you and I both know that it's an Atlantic salmon. Can't really fault the guy.
