I’ve suddenly got a desire for some smoked fish…….off to the shore with my fishing gear, then the lemon tree, then……

Great video , those smokers are great ! I have a similar one I use for trout, and it always turn out perfectly! Great video yet again , and it’s great to see you guys so darn happy ❤

Great video guys

like preheating a oven, start your smoker fire first then your temps and time of cooking is correct love ya bud

One day I hope to find a soul to travel with like yall are doing. I so love your vids and vibes. Richmond, Va

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸. Beautiful ocean and nice video.🌷

Love at sea 💫

You two do great together.

if you add s drop or two of water to the meths it stops sooting, and I think what you are doing in called a 'glazing' also, fingers where made before forks ;)

You made my mouth water. Hope it was good.

🤘life goals! ❤

What you need is a Brown Sugar saver. Amazon have them.

Wow that looked good . the brown sugar n salt thing worked too . any way , back to my boil in the bag :)

lol you eat well now eh - nice guy nice girl nice boat nice seas :)

Thanks. After your video I’ve dug mine out after several years and will try again. I used too many chips and the salmon ended up ruined.

They say the most difficult thing about smoking a fish is getting the damn thing to stay alight! :}

Yerh man the smoker is up side down. The holes are to give the meths oxygen. Everything else you done look good. Success in the end.. 👏Oily fish like mullet, kahwai, eel, snapper go real well in the smokers. You can just lite a little fire with some sticks if you don't have meths and sit the smoker over the coals.

Hello from Waikato New Zealand. You had the smoker upside down. The holes are air holes for the flame. Next time flip it around and use half the amount of wood chips. It will burn a lot hotter and smoke more =)

Yep, so we learned

James, you are the roughy toughy super Sailor, all dresssed up in anorak and shoes 👞 what a whimp 😅 Rhoda in bare feet and hair blowing 😅 Fair winds to you both 😊😊

The trickiest part about using this type of smoker is preventing the fish juices from soaking the wood chips which prevents them smouldering. You can try wrapping foil under the tray you lay the fillets on

@SailorJames

@downunderdan

2 ай бұрын

@@SailorJames Yes, and then spreading the wood chips on top of the foil. What I meant was if you wrap some foil under the racks you place the fish on, the juices will collect in that, rather than drip onto the wood chips underneath. The smoke should still get around the outside of the foil

They must make hearty papers down there, mates! I keed, I keed.

That smoker would work sat on embers? Looked excellent..

Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful ❤

Hey guys my pop used to make the very same smoker You have it upside down The holes are there to allow airflow for the metho to burn and at the same time protect from the wind You want all the smoke contained in the box section without the holes Will be a whole lot better next time👍
