Best Answer

It's pretty easy:

  • Soak wood chunks or chips over night in water.
  • Start hard lump charcoal in BGE (or any smoker)
  • Scatter wood over the coals
  • Let salmon sit out for 15 - 20 mins to come to room temp
  • Get BGE smoking and adjust temperature to 180F to 200F
  • Put salmon on grill
  • Smoke till finished. About 35-45 mins for 1 1/2 lbs fillet. It wants to be cooked through and flakey.

I'll often do this while smoking a Boston Butt, which is an all day affair. If I've got room, I throw a salmon fillet on in the middle of the day for lunch.

If you're just getting in to smoking with the BGE, I highly recommend the book Smoke and Spice.
