[james1970]

Hello! I am new to this forum and live in Igo California which is 10 miles west of Redding CA. and about 2 hours south of the California Oregon border. I am 44 yrs young and have been BBQ ing/ smoking low and slow for as long as I can remember. I own several smokers/ BBQ pits which include a 22.5 Weber kettle, 22.5 Weber Smokey Mountain, and a UDS, I also own a really old Great Outdoors Gas grill which has three burners and a side burner. I love to BBQ year round!! Rain or shine as long as I can keep the fire lit!!!

Living on a houseboat overlooking Whiskeytown lake,  I bet you smoke a fair amount of trout?  

   Welcome to SMF.

Unfortunately I don't live on a house boat or live on Whiskeytown lake, but I do live close enough to both Whiskeytown lake and lake Shasta that I do get a lot of fish. Also if it lives and is edible I have most likely tried to smoke or grill it. I have smoked Salmon, Steelhead, Shad, Trout, and Bass. I prefer to brine and cold smoke my fish. I have also tried smoking wild turkey, Venison, Elk,Rabbit, Quail, Pheasant, and Wild Hog just to name a few things I have tried cooking in a smoker.
