andya Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 it's almost mackerel time again in the firth of forth and i tend to catch a fair few every year and love to hot smoke them, but i'd heard that some folk wont cook them in their kamados as the smell lingers and taints meat cooks afterwards ? any truth to this, i know they are super oily and stink a fair bit . in my old pro q excell i used to just give a wee jet wash afterwards and all was good but does it really get into the ceramic pores of the kamado ?

Smokin Monkey Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Sorry @andya, can’t help you with this, as I do not eat fish, so it goes now where near my grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatcouldpossiblygowrong Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I’ve hot smoked salmon without any lasting fishy pongs. Good high burn should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andya Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 cheers guys, i took the safe route today as i had some rainbow trout to smoke so i fired up the pro q ( gets uglier and rustier looking by the month ) but still gets the job done as my back up cooker now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andya Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 yeah-something like that...along with character it developed new doors ( twice), new additional rope seals, new home made fire basket, new grills, new rotisserie addition and a few man made holes for various probes in days gone by since she was new...........but still capable of turning out a long and slow until the new kamado sidelined her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
