Fish Smokers

**Slinger** · 08-10-2006, 12:58

I am thinking of buying a smoker and would like to know which one is the best buy?.

Also what are the best fish to smoke other than mackeys and trout ?

I'm sure you fellow forumites will be able to help me with this one.

All the best

I use a camping stove, on which i put a biscuit tin. In the yin put a handfull of oak sawdust and a cake wire cooling tray. Put prepared fish on tray, stab a few holes on the tin lid and place ontop. Light camping stove, and in a couple of mins you have some spot on hot smoked fish.

Cost: NOWT.

I have always made my own as well, the best one I made was from an old army issue mess tin with a lid. You remember the huge horrible vats your school dinners where slopped out of ? Pop one on a campfire with some nice flavoured wood chips, put a cooling tray inside or hang fish on wire hooks on coacthanger frame.

Eel is the best tasting smoked fish, but I would never of tried it if I had of known what it was ! Hate em ! Yuck !

Luhr Jensen smokers.Had one for 4 years faultless.

Pigeon breasts on the rack for the middle "smoke" "macks" for the last obviously.
You get a brilliant flavour with these smokers, they are the best IMHO.

Thanks Bluejacket, that looks a serious bit of kit!

How much would one of those set me back?

It is a serious bit of kit that gets used a lot. I got mine at a giveaway end of line. I think they retail at about £125, which in the scale of things is not a lot of money these days.
