So, after much lurking, searching and reading, I figured I would sign up.  I have learned a lot from these forums already without being visible, so I thought I would become a bit more active.

I have only done about 4 or 5 batches of fish in the smoker so far, but plan to do a lot more.   I have done salmon (some good Atlantic, and some cheap stuff), fresh brook trout, steelhead, and lots of mackerel.   Definite learning curve, but I am getting there - and even the mistakes are pretty friggin delicious :)   I have 4 large bags of mackerel fillets in the freezer right now, so another session is in my immediate future.

I use a very simple charcoal smoker - basically a metal box with some racks and a fire in the bottom.  I don't have cold-smoking capacity yet, but will get there eventually.  I tried making my own version of an AMNPS but it didn't work out to well - though it does do well as a chip holder to keep the smoke manageable.  The shipping cost to Canada for a real AMNPS is too expensive at the moment, but I may get one at some point.  They definitely look like a great solution.

That's about it.  Looking forward to posting a few pics of my smoking adventures.

Cheers

Welcome from Canada. This is the perfect place to share and learn new things. Personally, I have not smoked any fish yet...but really interested in giving it a go...so I would be looking forward to reading your process and seeing some smoked fish pictures!

Cheers.
 
Thanks.  I Just posted a quick thread in the Fish section.  I am still learning my way (easy to over-salt a thin fillet), but the results so far have been pretty good - and improving each time.
