What's up everyone? Didn't know if anyone tried this before but I put a couple of whole snapper in one of those Weber baskets and hung it in the PBC... just for the halibut
I wasn't really looking to smoke them for a long period so I cracked the lid just a tad. I did put a small chunk of apple wood in as I was unsure if I would get any smoke at all but there was quite a bit. I figured they would only take about a half hour and that was about right. I have to say I have never tasted fish quite like that. They were pretty tasty. I did brine the snapper in a water, sugar, salt concoction which I have never done with fish before. I should have taken a picture of them hanging in the basket but I was expecting it to be a disaster so I didn't want any pictorial evidence of my idiocy
I only got the one not very good pic after I pulled them off. The fish are still laying on the basket but I have one side of the basket opened up in the pic. The foil was not used in the cook I just set the hot basket on it.
