I fired up the smoker today and did some rainbows and some brown trout...so Here some pics of the smoker full of fillets. I had a guy say if" I smoked the fish for him for nothing that I could have half of the smoked fish". Sounds like a good deal!
I would say the hind legs... more meat and better cuts if you want to have a roast to eat. I make alot of venison summer sausage and all I do is de-bone the meat and save the backstraps and the inside tenderloins and I grind the rest up for sausage, venison bacon, snack sticks, and...
I use water in the pan....it will put humidity in the smoker. I hang my sticks from my racks with S hooks that I made from metal coat hangers with about an inch or so between the sticks so that they aren't touching.I use the loop on the casing to hang off of the S hook. I can get 25 #s of SS in...

I have made venison bacon plenty of times and I have water in the water pan from the start and have had no problems. Being that it is ground meat it takes smoke real well... You will be makin' this stuff again for your friends and family... just as I have!!! Good Luck... Blza

I am getting ready to make up a 12 1/2 lb batch of venison bacon today. It will go in the smoker tomorrow with some apple wood in the smoke box.... good eatin'!!!!! If you haven't ever smoked some before, you have got to try it...
I went and cleaned out the inside of my smoker and used my air compressor to blow out the air screen and venturi tube... that did the trick ! A nice blue flame again instead of a yellow flame like I had. Thanks for the info guy's

Thanks guy's for the info! It is really dirty inside the smoker ... so it probably needs a good cleaning. I want to check the screen out also. There could be a spider nest in there....LOL Who knows!!!!
Thanks for the help, Blza
I got an older Gosm and it is producing a long and yellow flame. How do you clean it so I can get that nice blue flame again like it use to have.?
Thanks, Blza
