HICKORY-QUED SALMON STEAKS

TO PREPARE HICKORY BUTTER LIME BASTE-MARINADE: 1/3 cup (3 ounces) pure hickory liquid smoke; 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, seeded; 1/2 cup dry sherry; 1/2 cup red wine vinegar; 1 tablespoon each liquid onion, liquid garlic; 1 teaspoon each dry rosemary, crushed chives, lemon pepper seasoning, paprika, seasoning salt; 1/2 cube butter or margarine; 3 cups water

Set aside butter or margarine. Combine all other ingredients with water in a 2-quart pot on high heat. Stir and bring to a quick boil. Remove from heat. Strain and separate out 1 1/2 cups to baste-soak hickory wood chips. Add butter or margarine to remaining hot baste-marinade, stirring to melt.
PIT FIRE
Presoak hickory wood chips in reserved baste for 20 minutes and drain. Spread soaked chips over a close bed of 3-odd white-ash-hot charcoal briquets. Let chips burn into pit fire until flames are out.
TO MARINATE SALMON STEAKS
Pour buttered marinade over steaks in a rimmed container, covering both sides. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning and rearranging steaks for thorough marinating. Remove steaks from marinade and drain. (Retain used marinade for pit basting.) Place steaks on double-strength aluminum foil, turn up edges, and seal corners to make 2 or 3 shallow foil pans.
PIT BASTING
When pit fire is ready, place steaks in foil pans on grill 4 to 6 inches above pit fire. Liberally brush-baste every 3 to 5 minutes for 25 minutes. (Adjust dampers half open and close pit cover after each basting.) Steaks are done when they readily flake when poked with a fork in thickest portion.

HICKORY-QUICK BARBEQUE BASTE-MARINADE

When you don't have a lot of leisure time but have a craving, try the following barbeque baste recipe for pit-baste smoking. It gives a hickory-smoke flavor to almost any meat or poultry entree you desire.

Combine all ingredients with water in a 4 quart pot on medium-high heat. Stir and bring to a boil, cover and boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and strain off lemon rinds or any cooked onions. Refrigerate if not ready to use immediately as hot marinade.
Strain and use in spray bottle for basting pit-smoked meats, especially pit grilled pork ribs, beef ribs, pork chops, pork and beef steaks, lamb chops, poultry, grilled burgers, and pork and beef roasts. The spray-basting also helps control flames in the pit-fire when not overused. For a real hickory-smoke flavor, pre-soak any amount of hickory wood chips in a cup or so of this basic marinade.

Yields 11/2 quarts

NOTE: Marinate meat in 200-degree hot marinade for 20 minutes for super-quick and tasty results.
