so British...Kippered Herring on toast with a poached egg. people in the US do not know of these things. I do like "kipper snacks" which are canned kippered herring but I am an oddball for it around there (Arizona) my great grandparents are from Wales so maybe it is in my genetics but this looks very very good to me!!! next video for me to search is how to "poach" an egg.

Thanks for your comment. I had no idea they did kippers in cans. I guess it's the only way to get them to somewhere like Arizona. There are several companys in the UK that mail kippers. Not sure if they send them abroad. Love kippers with a poached egg. Food of the gods!

Totally agree both methods work really well. As you can see the herrings I used were quite small and if you’d have grilled them they may have dried out and become a little bit tough. All in all one of the best breakfasts out there

Hi I smoked some Herring the way you explained, and they did taste the best,I have the same smoke generator you have but kept letting me down, I use a pellet generator now it chucks out loads of smoke,but great video and easy to follow,will be trying some more of your ideas,well done and thankyou for taking the time to share

@Coldsmoking 2 жыл бұрын

Hi David, Sorry to hear the generator let you down. it may well have been the dust not the generator in fairness. (Unless it was clogged in which case I have a cleaning video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMiVnMip0qjap4U.html ) I tend to find a dust that works reliably and if when using another dust which appears to be less reliable I blend it with the reliable one. Luckilly for me Beech dust seems to be my reliable dust which is light and sweet so virtually any other dust can be blended with it to increase it's reliability. Hope that helps. Chuffed they turned out well for you BTW!

@hammertiming8423 Жыл бұрын

Indeed there is more smoke from pellets, but they also produce lots of heat and are not suitable for smoking everything unless it's in offside smoker..

@waltzb7548 Жыл бұрын

Just started using a maze smoke generator, great luck at first, purchased a bigger bag of alder from same supplier and kept going out every 10 minutes. Noticed the second bag was about twice as coarse. Purchased an electric spice mill to grind up the sawdust into a much finer dust, and as I write this I'm on hour 15 of smoking some pollack right now holding at 84 F. This model only promises 8 hours of smoke but I'll take it. Hope this helps anyone trying to use a maze smoker. Needless to say, the grinder is now used only for sawdust. Cheers!

Great vid, thanks for this. Presume if I wanted to try my own Arbroath Smokies it would be the same but with haddock? Can’t wait to try the herring anyway

@Coldsmoking 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Fraser, Yes you can cold smoke haddock and then gently poach it in milk and butter. The arbroath smokie is a hot oak smoked Haddock. Still delicious. They used to hot smoke them in stone lined oak barrels covered with a burlap sacking to keep the heat and moisture in. When cold smoking the haddock you can use the same brine cure for 30 mins and make sure it's flat on a rack rather than hanging. I tend to prefer laying the fish flat especially in a small cold smoker. You achieve a more even smoke on the whole fish. Good Luck.

@@Coldsmoking If all recipe's are based on 1kg of product be it beef, Pork or Fish, scaling up or down a recipe is made very easy. Example :- Weight of meat 1000gm, 2% of salt required 1000g salt @ 2% = 2*1000/100 = 20g of salt So if you only had 781gm of meet but still wanted to follow your recipe:- salt @ 2%= 2*781/100 = 16gm Same if you wanted to up the salt content for your taste Example salt @ 3% = 3*781/100 = 23gm Much more difficult to do in Table spoons etc.

@Coldsmoking Жыл бұрын

@@user-zh2mb9xl6o yes, this is a method i use for dry curing meat and is widely understood. You can see me adopt this method in my dry cured bacon vids and smoked salmon vids. However, this method doesn’t apply when making a brine cure (wet cure). In these examples a brine is made up of a certain strength and the product be it meat or fish is immersed in it for a prescribed time. . Thanks for your comment though as I’m sure it would be useful for those looking to dry cure.

@user-zh2mb9xl6o Жыл бұрын

@@Coldsmoking Yes 16.66% in the above recipe, again though if you wanted a larger quantity, enough to cover the product, you would simply remove the covered product, weigh the remaining water & apply the % of salt required. Example 1500gm water salt 16.66*1500/100 = 250gms of salt.

Good day! I'm new to cold smoking and I use my Weber Smokey Mountain and a maze smoker similar to yours. I've done cold smoked salmon twice nobody got sick, and it turned out excellent. I see that in all the other fishes including as in your video, further cooking after the cold smoke seems to be required. I've just finished an 18 hours smoke on Pollock after brining it, but my wife and others won't touch it unless I cook it further by bringing it up to 140 fahrenheit. Do you have any thoughts? Why does salmon seem to be the exception in all the tutorials and videos? Thank you and have a great day!

@Coldsmoking Жыл бұрын

Great comment Walt. The fact of the matter is Salmon as a popular fish is widely eaten cured and smoked without further cooking but there would be no barrier to treating many other fish in the same manner. we simply choose to cook it or process it with heat. look to Japan for inspiration for eating fish raw as culturally they have fewer barriers to that style of consumption. Have a great day yourself. T
