After Effects on your Somker when Smoking Fish

[crabman]

What side effects are there if any on the Smoker after smoking fish?  Is there any lingering smell of fish and does it hurt the smoker when going back to meat?

Smells the same as before. Just throw your racks in the dishwasher.

If you smoke something with your fish or poultry, make sure to put it above the fish & poultry.

I smoke salmon and trout in my ECB all the time. when I'm done, the old ECB smells like..... SMOKE. No issues from fish at all.

Like mentioned above, racks and water pan get washed in regular dish-detergent and you can't tell what I smoked last.
Also, to minimize the clean-up, I line my water pan with foil before I start.

Quick question: Has anyone ever tried smoking something else at the same time along with the salmon?

Reason I ask is I may be pressed for time later this week, and wondered if I could get away with smoking some salmon and canadian bacon at the same time. Of course I don't want any "fishy" odor on the bacon, so I'm wondering if there may be any transfer of flavors?

I've smoked trout, turkey legs and jerky at the same time with perfect results on each. I'm on a MES 40. As far as I've smoked, it doesn't have an effect but if you're on a  commercial scale I can't help. I'm sure it's fine. Just keep chicken and fish below the rest.
