Tanya is moving to Poulsbo so she gave me her BBQ. My goal was to figure out how to use it to smoke the trout I have been catching. I was not able to figure out how to get smoke and be able to cook the fish at a low temperature. I solved by fish smoking challenge with a Masterbuilt Pro.

I spent Saturday putting it together and getting it seasoned. In the evening I learned to fillet trout and put they in a brine I learned about at Bradley Smoker’s website. After filleting 10 trout I started to figure out the process. One of the key elements of filleting small trout is to sharpen the knife between each fish.

By the way here is Friday catch, looks a lot like Wednesday and Thursday.

Here is the smoker getting ready to smoke fish.


75 minutes we have smoked trout.


And yes it is good.


Here is lunch:
