    Chilean seabass

    Anyone has experience hot smoking Chilean Seabass (patagonian toothfish)? Have some big filets and would like to try smoking. I also would like to smoke some filets of fish similar to mackerel. For salmon I prefer a 3 hour dry cure of 60/40 sugar to salt, then overnight dry and a 4-5 hour hot...

    I'm stilll no 100% sure of which is the best way to generate good and steady smoke. I tried chunks over the heating elements and is is difficult to have consistency and not having them set on fire. Jonok's generator could be an option, I got all the info from him, but there is a moment when the...

    Yes, you are correct Dave. And technically I dont have two, I have four, because each is double, 1,9kW the external and 600w the internal. I could wire them to keep one small element on. The problem is the overheating..

    You are right Dave, I have one but the Weber brand. Problem is they use small chips or pellets, which I cannot source locally.

    How about good smoke generation when the heating element is turning on and off because the temperature is on target? That depends on the air flow? To keep the wood smoking even if the heating element is off? I have the fear that I would need to setup a specific element for smoking or inject...

    A non perforated tray as drip pan in the shelves wouldn't affect heat and smoke distribution?

    Thank for the tips Dave! How do you suggest to protect the elements from the dripping fat without disturbing the smoke flow? To cover the whole element with a thin plate?
