Jonty Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 From a couple of days ago. A nice fat rainbow caught the same morning and hot smoked indirectly (coals only on one side of the bbq). When the fish was done, I put some venison loin steaks over the coals to cook nice and quickly. We had a couple of friends over who’d never had venison - they loved it and were amazed it wasn’t ‘gamey’ as per the common misconception you can’t beat cooking meat over fire!

Our AA stocks a 5 acre spring fed hill tarn and the fish grow in beautifully. The deer hitched a lift back home from Scotland with me a while back.

Thanks Lloyd, i have a metal box that I put woodchips in, that sits above the coals and the fish to the side away from the coals so it hot smokes with indirect heat - it was very tasty. 2 hours ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: VERY nice.

Thanks TC! I’ll have to try and get one of them off eBay or something. What wood chips do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used hickory for this one Lloyd - purely because it was the only flavour I had. On hot smoked food, I personally cant really tell too much of a difference in the actual flavour between the woods, only that stuff like hickory & oak have a stronger smoky taste than say, beech. Damp woodchips triple wrapped in foil (with a couple of fork holes) sat on the cooking grate over the coals works very well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
