    New Little Chief

    Thanks for the heads up duke and dirtsailor. I guess if it does get fishy it'll just give me an excuse to get another smoker, whether the wife buys the excuse is another story... I plan on at least leaving a bowl of vinegar/baking soda in it for a couple days after a fish smoke, if that doesn't...

    New Little Chief

    Thanks Dave, I priced some thermometers yesterday, will add one soon. Dirtsailor, picked up the little chief to get started with jerky and fish. Maybe some cheese and nuts. Didn't want to break the bank and if I decide to delve deeper into smoking I'll dedicate the chief to that stuff and buy...

    First Fish Smoke, Brown Trout, need a little help!

    Looks amazing, glad you enjoyed them. I like the red flesh on the browns,all our rainbows up here are stocked so it's just a boring white.

    Black Pepper Jerky

    I used to make jerky in a dehydrator when I was a kid. I learned some simple lessons: The worse the cut of meat is pre-jerky, the better the jerky. Thanks to marinading, you can get by with lower priced ingredients (spices, etc.) A little tenderquick goes a long way. Liquid smoke tastes foul by...

    First Fish Smoke, Brown Trout, need a little help!

    Hey there Mike, Beautiful trout there! I'm actually about to start my first trout smoke soon as well. While I don't have experience, I have read a good chunk of this forum. The main thing with salt is that it be non-iodized. Some people think it gives an off flavor otherwise. I plan on using...

    Hello from WV!

    Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! Got a batch of jerky marinating in the fridge right now. Pictures and a formal write-up soon to come.

    New Little Chief

    Thanks DukeBurger. I put a box on top and cut a small hole to vent the smoke, decided to let it run while I got ready for work and when I checked on it 30 mins later (around and hr since initial start) it was so hot I burnt my hand trying to take the lid off! Outside temp raised maybe 5 degrees...

    New Little Chief

    Little Chief finally arrived. Initial impression: the chip pan and rack holder are the sturdiest components. No real damage in shipping except for a dented corner which I easily fixed. I read reviews before purchasing though so not much of a surprise. Bought some reflectix insulation, gave it...

    Smoking Rainbows

    Thanks dirtsailor. Think ill go with the 4:1 and maybe add some lemon pepper, ground black pepper and a few other spices. I never scale my small rainbows, safe to assume no need to for smoking either? Stopped by Lowe's today and found some reflectix, seemed a bit pricy but looked at some other...

    Smoking Rainbows

    Hello everyone, I've been reading through this section of the forums and just have a few questions. I'll be smoking rainbows (none above 13") on my Little Chief when it arrives. Since they're so small ill be smoking whole. Is a dry brine practical for whole fish of this size? I'd like to...
