OVEN MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE
BEGINNING THE COLD SMOKE PROCEDURE.
Soak wood chips in water according to directions
(5 minutes), fill wood chip container full and insert
in chip holder located at the back of the oven.
Fill pan with ice and locate pan in shelf position number 7
(just above wood chip container).
Place prepared salmon fillets on a wire grid as indicated
on the diagram and insert wire grid on oven shelf
beginning with the top shelf position.
Insert probe of thermocouple thermometer into the center
of the middle salmon fillet located in the top shelf
position or central shelf position when smoking a full
load. To maintain proper color, the internal temperature
of the salmon must not exceed 77°F (25°C). For this
reason, it is important to begin the smoking process with
the oven at room temperature.
Make certain oven vents are closed. Close oven door
and set smoke time from 10 to 20 minutes depending on
taste preference. When the smoke timer cycles to the
OFF position, the fillets must remain in the oven for a
period of 1-2 hours. Do not open the oven door during
this period.
Following the required oven time, remove the fillets, cover
with clear plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully chilled.
