Hi Ian
Go to the bradley website and look on their forum, it is more attuned to your questions.
The problem is you dont say if you want the fish hot smoked, cold smoked or what weight they are. Smoking is very often a personal taste and length of smoking in a Bradley depends on how smokey you like your end product. For example I smoke in a Bradley and a salmon side smoked for 3 hours is plenty enough for me but some people prefer an hour longer. Also some people prefer a wet cure rather than a dry cure - it is a matter of taste.
A simple recipe for you:
For a side of salmon approx 1.5kg:
Mix salt and brown sugar in the ratio of 3 parts salt to 1 part sugar. Spread a little on the surface the fish is going to rest on and then place the fish on there skin side down then cover the fish in salt and leave for 8 hours. Wash off the salt and dry for a couple of hours then cold smoke in the Bradley for 3 hours over the wood of your choice.
Hope that helps.........
Cheers WW
