I smoked some trout with some salmon I did one time and the trout was real salty, seemed to ubsorb the salt way more. Maybe keep that in mind if you use a normal salmon brine
Da stump:
I have used a dry brine before, 1/3 brown sugar, one third white sugar, one third a mix of seasoning salt, non iodized salt and garlic. it tends to suck the moisture out and help cure it. Have only used alder in a little chief. I have a propane smoker now and wonder how hot you guys get your fish? :dunno:

I usually use just a little bit of salt in the brine with some brown sugar. Then I rub it with the Roasted Garlic and Beer rub from Cabelas. I usually use a blend of mesquite and hickory chips.

It turns out great every time.


As a side note to this: I usually pick quite a few huckleberries while out bear hunting. I've found that putting a stick of butter, a few handfuls of huckleberries, and just a little sugar in a double boiler then stirring it and squishing the huckleberries down until it is all liquid, then letting it cool and thicken makes a great sauce to put on top of some of that smoked trout and some crackers.  :drool:
