What better to do on a Saturday than a smoking session. Started process earlier in week by placing frozen marlin chunks in brine,.

Placed them them in smoker and aroma is

Using a photuakawa chip.

Managed to get a few snaps yesterday, preping for a smoke tomorrow. Even managed to find some marlin pieces to include.

No pics of completed smoke, fish was moist. Marlin had been in a brine to thaw out from frozen. Snapper had been split and in fridge to form pelicle. Colour of fish would have been photo, all fish nice fat healthy west coast fish.

Did you brine the fish Yknot or were they salted/unsalted?

Yesterday was my smoking day. Some trout from Rotoiti. Wet brine with soy sauce, brown sugar and a few spices. Large box smoker. Small error on my part meant trout was slightly underdone, so two rounds Ermm

I have a Smokai cold smoke generator in the post, so that will be another avenue to explore.

Apparently you fill the tube with pellets and place in smoker and burns 4/5hrs producing smoke no heat

anyone got one/tried one?
