    Apple chips are easily available here, and with a bit of searching I bet I could find proper pieces. Persimmon and Japanese pear (nashi) I've not seen for sale, but I think I could get hold of some with a bit of searching. Not sure how persimmon would turn out, but I imagine pear wood would be...

    Thank you. They are indeed called "rainbow trout" in Japanese: nijimasu. "Niji" means rainbow, and "masu" means trout. They aren't native to Japan, though, so the ones I smoked were farmed trout. I think there are some rivers with native brown trout in Japan, but I would say ayu and yamame (a...

    Apple is easily accessible, and I could probably get hold of the wood from persimmon. With a bit of effort I think I can find stuff that isn't readily available in the USA, such as Kabosu and Yuzu. Has anyone tried pear wood here? I might just be able to find Japanese pear (nashi) wood to use...

    I have some aluminium plates like that, as I use them to put my charcoal and wood chips on when I'm smoking! You've given me a great idea: I'll punch some holes in the plate I put on top, which will improve the oxygen flow to the charcoal, and help the smoke spread. Now regarding the peat, it...

    Pretty much. I can read newspapers, novels, and what have you. Sometimes have to look up the occasional word or expression.

    Leader in the clubhouse? Does that mean I have wait around on the putting green waiting for the leaders to finish, or can I prop up the bar for an hour or two?:emoji_yum:

    Thank you! I'm really the opposite side of Japan from Sapporo, though I really need to visit Hokkaido some time. Still not been, even though I've lived in Japan for years. I'm not sure how much of a smoking community there is here. Costco and Household Goods stores sell proper BBQ rigs which...

    Not sure I can slide in a thin piece of metal, but it does give me an idea: I could fashion a metal cover over the heat source and chips with holes in it to allow the smoke to get out, while keeping the temperature down. Although, I should have just turned the sausages a bit more often, and...

    Hello, I've gotten into smoking a lot this year and have found this website useful. As I did a smoke today, I thought I'd take some pictures, join the site and post my pics. I live in Japan but am from Britain originally. Incidentally, cherry wood is one of the most popular woods for smoking...
