Smoking meat and fish

[wallie]

I am going to smoke some meat for Pastrami also a couple of salmon fillets and maybe some haddock, my question is can I hang them in my smoker and smoke them all together?
Also is it o/k to hot smoke fish?

Yes and yes. just make sure one will not drip on the other. Smoked mackeral is hot smoked.

So, obviously, is hot smoked salmon. It's good, if smoked by an expert.

Hi Wallie

Not wishing you to suck eggs as it were (wonderful smoked by the way) but dont forget to brine your fish before cold smoking.

Funny you should say that WW but I have 2 dozen boiled eggs that have been in the pickle for a month, would it be o/k to smoke some of them?

hi Wallie

Dont see any reason why not.... I tend to boil mine, craze the shell and then smoke - they come out like old marbled eggs, great fun and fantastic taste as well. Garlic and butter I have been smoking a lot of this year as well, not forgetting smoked olive oil..cant see the point myself but I dont half sell a lot.................

How do you contain the oil to smoke it WW?

I smoke coarse sea salt in a bowl, though it usually needs a good drying afterwards.

[welsh wizard]

Just pop the oil on a tray and place in the smoker. I use a stainless steel 1/1 gastranome.

I'll second the boiled eggs - but I do mine minus the shells. I like the idea of WW's marbled effect, yet another thing to do!

Thanks WW !!

I'm smoking some bacon tomorrow so might give it a go.

Wallie, are you talking about pickled eggs?, if so, recipe please.
