Cold smoked some salmon today.  Cured it in brown sugar/salt mixture for 4 hours before hand then cold smoked for 2.5 hours.  Lit the KK, let it slowly come up to smoking temp of 250 over the next hour, and then cooked for one more hour to internal temp of 140.  Served with a sweet maple soy sauce, smoked cauliflower and a side salad.   I’ve only cooked fish a few times on account that my family typically doesn’t care for seafood (not a big fan of fishy flavor).  We wanted to try something different.  By far the best salmon I’ve ever had, but still not my favorite thing to eat by a long shot.  I’d rather have shrimp, grouper, or tilapia, but still it was pretty good.

In celebration of the last day of February (one month closer to Spring!) AND the fact that it was 62F here today - woo, hoo! A spun chook for dinner.

And Yes, that the Meater sticking out of the chicken on the left side. Cooked @ 325F direct with smoker pot of cherry and maple. Pulled at IT of 165F.

Plated with some Spring Risotto (leeks and peas) and roasted corn & parsnips. A glass of nice Chardonnay, of course!

Thanks! The skin came out OK. I was a bit concerned because the cooking temperature was a bit lower than I normally do for "crispy skin." I tweaked the upper vent for the last 20 minutes of the cook, but the dome temperature only rose about 25F (350F) and not near the 400F that I was hoping for. But, I was busy inside get the sides ready, so I wasn't babysitting the grill that closely.

So, what do you do with leftover rotisserie chicken (see cook above)?? One solution is to make a white pizza! Was trying out the new Cooks Illustrated 1 hour pizza dough recipe (see March/April 2018 issue). Despite screwing up one of the steps, it came out OK.

Homemade Alfredo sauce, leftover roti chicken, marinated artichokes, Kalamata olives, and fresh cherry tomatoes, dusted with a hint of Purple Crack.

Hit it with lots of "pizza cheese" - a blend of mozzarella, parmesan and Romano.

Cooked 12 minutes on a heat soaked pizza stone on the upper grate at 450F (was shooting for 500F, but lost patience!) Started out on the parchment paper, but after 4 minutes on the stone, I slipped it off.

Up close and personal.

Bottom of the crust came out nice!

I do have to say that it was pretty tasty for "leftovers!"

Great idea Tony!  Love Cook’s Illustrated.  I usually shred whatever is left to use in tacos, quesadillas, or buffalo chicken dip.  But you’ve given me some ideas now as I’m making two rotisserie chickens tomorrow. Might try bbq chicken or buffalo chicken pizza.

Nice cook.  Are you enjoying the Meater ?  I see that you used it on the Rotisserie.  I have The Meater and just love it.  It is the ideal Thermometer.  It is very easy to use.  I had an issue with mine and was able to get a Replacement as their Office is in Studio City, Ca.  I was able to go there and have them check out my thermometer.  Just waiting for the Block.
