    ramp butter

    you new pickers just make sure you learn what your after. there are other leafy things you dont want to mix these up with. lily of the valley the main one. easy to tell the difference but they grow together so hastily grabbing n going harvesting can be problematic. dont need anyone sick!

    new unit?

    yes thats way more of a unit! i like the easy dump ash tray and coal basket. the seal on lids always a plus. mine smokes out of every crack there is. lol i see it has an "insulated smoke chamber". that would seem to be a plus. it also brings up the question of rust. concern is it rusting...

    Temp for Smoking fish

    just a salt sugar brine with seasonings in it. i boil and simmer the brine to infuse the water. much better results imo. get brine chilled and submerge fish in it 24hr or so. drain chunks in sink and rub in some outside seasonings in the grooves if you want. just dont add salt to outside...
