Smoked Salmon

When smoking salmon, should I place the salmon on the rack closer to the water or on the upper smoker rack?

where to position salmon in the smoker
by: Anonymous

It can go on either rack. If it's right above the water, the smoked salmon will remain a little moister than if it was put on the upper rack. The salmon on the upper rack will also get done quicker. Unless I have a lot of salmon to smoker, I usually smoke it all on the top rack, mainly because it's much easier to work with up there.
