Hi all,
I was wondering if there were any modifications one would make to their UDS specifically for smoking fish (and any other similar products)?
For those wonderin why I ask, it is because I don't smoke meat in the same device as fish. It is a kosher related issue which I can explain if anyone wants.
So I need a UDS for meat and another for fish. My drums are identical so far. I expect that I will make a smaller charcoal basket but I wasn't sure if there was anything else I should be considering. Such as...with a smaller basket I can put two racks in place, extending closer than the 24" I maintain on the meat drum.
So far, my drums are torched out, drilled for all but the thermometer mounts, rust treated (since I waited too long before painting and they collected a bit of rust on the exterior), and ready for painting.
Do I need to season the inside with grease and an empty cook?
Thanks so much!
