hot smoker dust

Recommended Posts

having had some great smoked fish i have now run out of the shavings that came with it (seems it was made in 1986 ,got it from a bootfair) .Can anyone recommend a good substitute ?

got to source cheaper meths as well at 3 "smokes" per 500ml bottle is near cheaper just to buy smoked mackerel from sainsbury .

we now take it in the trailer tent as a oven as well ;)

mackerel smoked is great but being oily it tends to make cleaning the smoker hard after ,tin foil only stops it dripping onto the tray but not the incredibly hard residue under it .mr muscle gets the oily bits but the magma is ignored :D

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

You might find something like Wilkinsons sells meths cheap, or one of the DIY stores.

 

Depending how dirty the thing gets, an ultrasonic bath might help - and ebay generally has them at low prices.

Don't smoke meth, it's not big and it's not clever.

 

Plus the joint only lasts a second before you burn your nose :rolleyes:

:D dont make your mackerel taste nice either :D

wilkinsons sell it by the 500ml i might go larger and cheaper hopefully ,not sure where i bought the last bottle but at £1.99" for 500mls its outrageously expensive ,if you add up the fuel cost and the "smoke" cost its near cheaper to buy it already done.i like my fish dryish and very smokey so it gets 2 shots of meths per cook and plenty smoke chips
