    Smoking Steelhead Trout Question

    I would like to use my smoker to cook some steelhead trout for xmas. I don't want the typical cold smoked fish but cook it like you would on a bbq grille. I don't want to brine, let rest, and cook at 170 degrees.  Can I season the fish and crank up my smoker to 325-375 and cook traditionally...

    Re-using Smoking chips/chunks

    Does anyone have an opinion for using burnt chips in the smoker. I have left over chips that didn't burn up in the smoking process. Do you think is a waste or can this been re-used? They seem to have some good smoke still left in them. I hate throwing stuff away. Thanks, Mike
