Instructions

  1. plank burned too fast, definitely need a bigger plank or greener wood. i soaked it in water for a day in anticipation of that but it cooked off immediately.
  2. need more heat applied to the top side of the fish, though cooking skin-on allowed me to blast it with temp from the bottom and not worry about the meat.
  3. flavor was great, a little too much char due to extra cooking time for lack of topside heat application, but smokiness was achieved. hit a quick salt/sugar cure on the fish when i brought it home, not sure how much that helped or hindered surface quality.
