Been playing around with the left over razor clams and trying different styles of brine/smoke times for them...

I'll tell you what when they are done right they are like friggen candy... I brought a batch to work today and once folks got a taste they couldn't stay away...


so far the best i've tried to date:

cut clams into strips into a tupperware
sprinkle with 4:1 brown sugar:salt (a few other spices in small portions; Colemans mustard, garlic powder, onion powder etc)
shake well to coat them
let sit for 1 hr.
rinse and dry
lay the strips on the rack (criss cross two racks if your pieces are small)
smoke until done (I've found that about two hours using 3/4 - 1 1/2 pans of chips depending on how smokey you like them is just about right)
I'm using a little chief smoker.




anybody else smoke them and care to share your ways?
