Open Pit Cooking - Old School Alder Smoke-Roasted Salmon - Native American Style
« Reply #-1 on: April 28, 2013, 03:09:02 AM »
This was a set- up in the parking lot today at the Port of Olympia, WA Dragon Boat Races.  31 teams from the northwest participated. Each team was assigned areas in the parking lot - most of which had coolers and camp stoves or some had portable grills to cook for the team at this day-long event.  One team from a local tribe came with their metal cooking rig on wheels.  Staked the salmon and smoke-roasted it really REALLY old school style.  This wasn't for show nor for sale - it was their team tailgating rig.

Great outdoor cooking doesn't require any expensive equipment.
Smoking started as a way of preserving food & BBQ as a way of cooking cheap meat to make it edible.

I like this. I am becoming more and more fond of old school, maybe because I am getting so old.

That's one of the perks living in the Northwest, Salmon, Dungeness crab, Clams and Oysters all for the taking. Cool picture Barry.

Did not ask for a taste as it was team meal. We see this style often, so not a novelty.  Lotsa friends prepare salmon this way. I'll be cooking some later this spring over the fire pit and take photos to share the method.

Sparky - 3 things going on, same as any wood/charcoal grill.

#1 radiant heat transfer is off of the coals. (just like your charcoal grill)
#2 convection heat transfer is from some hot air - not really manageable due to open style
#3 smoke carried by hot air - not really manageable due to open style

Charcoal grills are essentially infrared cookers (shocking I know - think on it for a while) but the heat is uneven (due to charcoal coals distribution and burn rates) and the tunneling effect when coals are too close one another and create hot spots that are both infrared and intensified convection...   8)
