Good luck.

I've heard of folks brining their trout and smoking them with a very mild wood.

Shouldn't take very long so long as you keep the temp down.

Alton Brown smoked a salmon (seems it was smoked in a cardboard box)...ought to work for trout too.

Hey there Baddurrango. I do my trout with 2 litres of water 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup kosher or sea salt, and a little garlic or whatever you like. I normally used a maple or hickory smoke. I like mine done around 155-160. Enjoy smoked trout is great

Follow the above brine... Then I let mine dry & sprinkle with salt & pepper.

Use a mild wood & don't oversmoke. You really need super thin blue smoke for this.
