Here is a recipe I use from a different forum member. I use my Bradley smoker with a PID so I can hold very tight temps. It is very important that you do not go at too high of temps or you will render out the fat of the fish and get boogers on top of the fish. Filet salmon.
Hole Sizing. 1  A standard (non-air-gap) faucet, with or without tubing attached, needs a hole that's 7/16 in diameter or larger. You can install standard faucets comfortably in holes up to 1.25. 2  An air gap faucet needs a hole that's at least 3/4 in diameter, and it should be no larger than 1 1/4.
It was tall and unstable with the mounting hardware included. My other concern was the scraping of the integrated supply lines from the center sink hole. I measured the sink hole -- it's 1 3/8. Since the spec information isn't included in the box, I checked the Moen website. The minimum sink hole size is 1 1/2.
