Salmon, caught in the wild rivers of Alaska, preserved though travel, meticulously filleted, deserves the honor of being a smoked meal. Salmon being a staple dinner cannot be left to the artificial flavors of outrageous unthought out seasoning, rather natural smoke and a little Camp Chef rub will make your dinner taste perfect.

Smoking salmon has a long and rich history that dates back thousands of years.
