What's on the smoker today?

Lake Trout & Cisco. One fillet went home with my FIL along with about 25 pounds of local beef as his Father's Day Present. One fillet slid down our throats last night as the appetizer for dinner and the Cisco will be made into dip for a family gathering this coming weekend.

I follow this recipe for the chile sauce and use dried Gualillo chiles. I also cut out the salt and use more garlic cloves. Also a 8-10 lb pre cooked ham.


Preheat the smoker to 250. Cook ham directly on grates for 2 hours. Make sauce. Pull ham and put in a pan. Turn heat up to 275. Cover ham with sauce and smoke another hour or so until internal temp reaches 140. Pull, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes.

Reserve sauce to use.
 
What was your process? Those look fantastic.
Dry brine for 9 lbs of fish consisted of 3 cups brown sugar, 1/2 cup salt, tablespoon pepper, teaspoon of cayenne and teaspoon of red pepper. Sprinkled over fish in layers then Brined overnight. Set pieces out on paper towels to air dry a couple hours. Didn’t rinse or wipe off fish. Then set Traeger to smoke setting and let it run 5 hours to finish thickest pieces. I’ve smoked a lot of fish but I would say that was the best result I’ve had.
