    Freezing fish

    Thanks for replying.  This past year I have frozen first and then smoked and I thought the end product was pretty good.  Just wondering if anyone has done the other way and had the end product turn out awesome. Whistler

    Freezing fish

    So the annual whitefish netting season in MN is upon us.  If my luck this year holds out, I will catch enough fish that I have to freeze some.  My question is:  Is it better to freeze the fish first and then smoke or smoke them fresh and then freeze? Thanks. Whistler

    I'd love to get the Amazin' Smoker equip but I need to work up enough points.  The WSM pretty much did me in for a while.  Thanks for the input everyone.  I'll give it a shot one of these weekends and give a report back. Whistler

    LOL. I can always temporarily make room in one of my four freezers.  Especially in summer before hunting season starts.  Come December it could get a bit dicey.

    I am the owner of a new WSM -- love it -- and was wondering if anybody has frozen a full water pan as a way to help keep the temps down for a cold smoke. Any thoughts? Thanks. Whistler

    Fattie rolling and eggs

    It did seem a little moister than what I thought it would be but that could also have been the grease too. The sausage is stuff I made here at home following a Morrocan recipe. I would like to find some authentic sausage to compare to though. I'll have to do better with the pics. It just...

    Fattie rolling and eggs

    Sorry, no Q-view just a musing/question. I've made a couple of fatties with various homemade vension sausages. The last one I did was a type of African sausage and it just wouldn't flatten out well - it kept breaking apart so I couldn't get it very thin. So I mixed two eggs into the meat to...

    Thanks for the link. Have you gone to one of his classes? My mom and stepdad live on Canal Park. I keep telling my stepdad to let me know when the steelhead are running, but alas, it's not working out. Are you down on the river then?

    I'll help you remember to put your app! My uncle smokes a couple store-bought turkeys every year for the big family get together. They are awesome. I'm just wondering how they compare to the wild ones.

    Turkey hunt also? Have you tried smoking one?

    Given your moniker I am guessing you are probably a deer hunter. Do you hunt near Preston or go elsewhere in MN?

    Not on Vermillion but just a couple lakes away. I've heard the area described as God's Country and couldn't agree more. One weekend a year just wouldn't be enough for me.

    Thanks for the info on Q view. I probably won't get anything smoked until Labor Day weekend, but I plan to go nuts.
