fish smoker?

[cey800]

Fishing season is soon apon us and I'm looking for some help. Has anyone tried building a fish smoker? Sure I could buy one, but what fun would that be. Anyone?

My barbecue can smoke food and cook on med or high.( A traeger Pellit Grill ), I have the black one,its awsome. I have seen people take those real old fridges and make into smokers too. Or you feel like a redneck today build one this way.

I'd like to take this thread one step further and try and bribe some of your secret fish smoking recipes out of you guy's. Lets hear some please. Oh and good idea summiteer on the smoke generator. I have an old freezer that I have been saving for building a smoker with but not really sure what to do with it.

Not a big fan of fish, just use it so far for pulled pork and smoked beef brisket. Hoping to do some hams and elk jerky this summer.

Slab fillets, leave skin on, wash and soak in brine overnight.
smoke for 6 to 10 hours. Depends on the size of fillets. When meat starts to seperate, remove and let it sit and cool.... If you can wait that long.........

Years ago I used an old metal fridge. The one with the locking freezer door style handle an rounded top. I gutted it and made grates out of expanded mess, 8 of them I believe. I used a small cast iron pan for the smoker chips and a single hot plate element for the heat. Worked awesome, could never keep the fish long, to many friends that liked it.... seems like I was smoking every weekend...:d
