"During the summer months we smoke a lot of fish which we vacuum pack and freeze for later. Because our winters are so cold, we do not use the smoker during the winter months because it doesn’t keep a good heat, so I like to make enough to last through the winter months. I have a few different recipes I use for when we are smoking fish; this is one of our favorites."
