This way when you need to add or check it you lift the whole smoker off and none of the heat escapes. Also mount a better thermometer lower near the racks and add a fire rope to tighten up the cover. I did these mods to mine and works 10X better now. _________________________ Dan Tholen Click here to sign up for the BFH Discount!

John's Joy ... Registered: 06/14/12 Posts: 4536 Loc: Toms River, N.J.	An old friend and fellow mate of mine gave me his bluefish brine recipe... 1st thing you do is open a beer & drink it down...then mix 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar with 1/2 cup of molasses (or honey if mollasses is not available) in 1 cup of hot water and have a 2nd beer while whisking - add 2 tbsp's of sea salt and 1 tbsp freshly ground pepper - open 3rd beer & drink it down - add 1 cup of cold water and whisk it up real good while having a 4th beer...this will be enough brine for 7 - 10 #''s of fillets which fits into 2 large ziplock bags while you polish off a 5th beer. Finish off the six pack and soak fillets in brine for 24 hours then fire up your smoker and have another 6 pack ready while waiting for the fillets to flake apart...takes around 3-4 hours to smoke 7 - 10 #'s of fish @ 140 - 160 degrees so you may need more beer! I use a mesquite and hickory mix. I've just started using Apple wood chips today while smoking my last batch of fillets today while downing my 4th beer!!! LOL... Enjoy!!!
