Smoked Trout Recipe

Title: SMOKED TROUT
  Categories: Seafood
       Yield: 1 servings
  
            Trout
            Lime, sliced
            Lemon, sliced
            Smoking wood
  
   * Smoking woods can be as varied as Mesquite, Apple, Alder, Hickory, or
     any other flavor you like. Soak the wood in water at least overnight. *
   You will need a covered grill, (Weber is the best.) * If you use a grill
   rather than a smoker prepare the charcoal in two
     piles on either side of the cooking area. * Light with a non-petroleum
   lighter, (electric, parafine based
     firestarters, or if you were a Scout, you can try the old two match
     method.) After all that the cooking is rather simple. In the cavity of
   each trout alternate slices of lemon and lime. Either oil the fish or the
   grill with as much oil it will handle. It will make taking the fish off
   eaiser. Place the fish in the middle of the charcoal fires. Put the soaked
   wood on the charcoal, close the lid (and do not open for at least 1 hr.),
   and wait. It will take at least 1 hr to cook and possible more depending on
   the number and size of the fish. Check it after the hour to see if it is
   flaky. If it is not done, serve some more appetizers and wait another hour.
   A good rule of thumb is: 1lb trout=1 hour, 2 or 2 lb trout=1 1/2 hour, 3 or
   3 lb trout=2 hrs., etc. Use any leftover in a salad with a spicy dressing.
   You will be amazed!
