Those look like Bradly smoker racksLooks Great . Can You tell me what the smoker racks are made of or were You got them. They look to be ideal for the job.
Thanks
super easy , start this in the morning....
the mixture is 2 parts brown sugar to 1 part kosher salt , mix together
in larger bowl spread out fish evenly then sprinkle sugar/salt mixture to cover , add another layer of fish and then more sugar/salt mixture , repeat until you run out of fish
let stand for a couple hours then give it a good stir , do that one more time then let it sit until the next morning
remove the fish from the mixture and rinse lightly under cold water (you will notice a difference in the fish texture already) spread evenly on racks to go in your smoker
smoke for 1 hour then baste the fish with maple syrup , repeat basting with maple syrup every hour until done
good luck
I've used maple syrup with bacon but haven't tried it on trout. So you don't air dry them first before smoking? I've done a fair amount of trout fillets (10lbs last weekend) and I've always air dried them first but maybe I can skip that step. I've also never tried cutting them up, thanks for the suggestion. TC
I put them on a rack and put a fan on them . It takes about 2-3 hrs for them to dry enough for me. When I'm done they are just dry, they don't really have a crust. You can experiment to find out how dry is enough for you. TCSome good info here , I plan on purchasing a smoker in the spring . How long is best for air drying the fillets ?
