As long as said fuel does not affect the taste of the fish, I agree. [Finger]

You ever try grilling fish on top of a piece of cedar? Flavorful!

Although my all time fav is shark steak marinated in Italian dressing with garlic, onion and lemon. Yeah baby yeah!

Gosh, I feel inspired to grill tonight.

I have not done the plank fish grilling thing yet. I would like to try it at some point though for sure.

How about we take this to a higher level of maturity and not do that. We are all acutley aware of the differences between the SWXC and TNT by now; we all moved on to talking about fried fish. You openly quit the SWXC, so, why come and stir the pot? Please take it off line.

(If you want to add fuel to any fire, may I ask you put it under the fish grill? Thx smile )[/b]
What you're failing to realize here Ramstein - a fundamental piece of the argument - is that one time I mesquite-smoked some redfish and it just tasted like smoke... not good at all [ThumbsDown]

Mesquite is not made for smoking. It burns to hot and to fast. It is great for fasting cooking like burgers and steaks of course. I like oak and hickory especially for cooking.

I smoke a mean brisket (and ribs, and chicken and turkey and hopefully a deer hind quarter soon) with mesquite. But I do wrap it in foil after about halfway through the process. Mesquite has a good flavor. Oak tends to produce too much black residue for my liking. Hickory might be a good choice, but I can't seem to find any without having to pay out the ass at the grocery store for the little bags. Mesquite is readily available. I just look for a new housing edition and take the chain saw with me.

Yeah, if you can find hickory, you won't go back. Check fire wood places. A lot of them will carry it. Calling neighborhood nursuries can get you some sources sometimes as well. I hear apple is a great wood for smoking too, but have never used it.

I've heard the same for apple. I've also heard that any fruit tree wood is great, especially for fish. Thanks for the info on the hickory. I will try to get some spit logs from the places you have suggested.

Fred

ps. Has anyone ever tried smoking a deer hind quarter?

I haven't. If it turns out good let us know what you did. I love a nice smoked elk roast though. That is meat from heaven!

You guys beat me to that. Fish and other delicate meats need a wood with a subtle smoke, like apple. Mesquite works great for brisket or ribs, but is too heavy for fish.

a trailer smoker would be pretty easy. Just need some of those big barrels (they couldn't have stored anything toxic) and some 4x2 .120 wall. Actually it would be a pretty easy task now that I think about it. The cost would be around $400 for parts on the high side. I can get the ball coupler, axle, tires, springs, and lights for $150, plus steel cost and your in business.

I would build it as a horizontal line of barrells, probably 2 on each side accessable from each side... one side being a big grill , could even rig it to run on propane or LP, the other side being a smoker..

I mean, it'd be much easier to just bring a little smoker or grill.. but the idea of one of those big ones is really cool.

well it would be nice to have it mobile..i.e. trailer, and since it's going to be on a trailer might as well make it big. I can even put a hithc on the back of that trailer for my lil trailer.. wana talk about white-trash-Redneck engineering... [LOL]

I want an off road pit on 33s now. Sweet!

Speaking of grills I still need to make one for the campsite. If someone can find those little stay cool handles for one I will build it. The handles are made out of that springy stuff. Anyone know what I am talking about here?

The only problem that I see, is who is gonna stay at the camp and monitor the smoker while I go ride trails?

The problem with building a grill to leave at the campsite is that it will be a mess everytime we go down there. Some jackass will use it and not clean it. [Finger]

We got to make sure that the area around the padlock is good and stout. So some drunk moron doesn't try to force it and break it. What kinda covers are you talking about. The tarp kind that go over the grill, or do you mean like a metal lid typ thingee?

Metal lid type thingie over the front. It would be a box like the ones you see at the park. We could add a hinged front to it. Swing it up and you can lock it. This would prevent someone from putting fuel in it. I don't know if we want to do that really. If we have to shovel some ashes out of it big deal. I think this thing could be pretty cool to have out there.

It would be very cool. Might have to get Clyde's permission. I would imagine we would need to get some concrete to make sure that the thing was not stolen. Don't you just hate what this world has come to?
