Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Wow! Marilyn, many thanks for sending this information. This smoker has excellent reviews on-line. I had some fabulous smoked fish-- smoked by the Cafe' owner-- a year or so ago. Was less dry than smoked sometimes is. He told me the secret for smoking fish is to start with the fish frozen. that way the smoke has time to permeate without overcooking the product. I've wanted to check out his theory, but not spring for a smoker I'd use only occasionally. This looks like a great solution. I am wondering about turkey. I usually butterfly turkeys before roasting. Do you have any sense of how many pound sized turkey might fit on this smoker. Again, another pearl, thank you. Ruth At 06:47 PM 12/20/2009, you wrote: >Where did you buy your stove-top smoker?

I might go and look for one! http://www.leeners.com/cookwares-smoker.html I've done some delish hickory smoked ribs in it... and the smoked Cornish Game Hens were amazing. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've fit a rack of ribs into it. However, you can also create a tight foil tent for larger items that you want to smoke. And yes, I bought the stove top smoker because I knew I would not use a big one enough to justify the cost. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Marilyn, I went and read about your smoker and it sounds great! One further question. I see they say that if the smoker is larger than the stove element not to use it. Well, OK, my stove is a 40 year old electric and the large burners are maybe 9 inches. And the smoker is listed as something like 11 X 15. So, is this a problem? Or do you do it in the oven? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, My stove, on which I used it regularly, up until it (the stove, not the smoker) died last year, right after Thanksgiving (thank goodness it died AFTER Thanksgiving, and not in the middle of it!) was, at the time of its demise, around 45 years old. If you are concerned, I would get a single burner element and use that. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
