Smoked Kingfish & 4 Briskets on the 4th of July

Greedygoat

Brined and smoked 30 pounds of kingfish on the XL with the adjustable rig for fish dip. Brined for 24 hours (probably twice as long as needed) and smoked two batches at 170 for about 90 minutes, removed when the fish probed at 140. 

Later that day I loaded the XL back up for the overnight brisket cook. First time cooking four at the same time, 53 pounds in total. Used half steer dust courtesy of @Richard Fl from this year's Rub and Sauce Exchange and half S&P. 



And of course we finished a long Independence Day with some fireworks.... 


Who else is exhausted today?

The best part about smoked fish dip is you can put in whatever you like depending on how you feel, your company's tastes or what you have around.  After smoking the fillets, I vacuum sealed them in 2 pound bags.  That way you can defrost just enough for one batch of dip at a time.  Anyway, the main ingredients include:

Fish
Mayo
Softened cream cheese
Minced scallions or white onion
Siracha and/or Jalapenos
Old Bay
S & P

Here is a recipe to just about the best fish dip I've ever eaten. It's called Mac salad made by an old lady who use to fish on the Navarre pier with us (longest pier in the Gulf of Mexico) would probably be even better if using smoked fish

try this and you will will not be disappointed

@Greedygoat Quick question about your setup. Are you using the platesetter or something else? I can't tell what your drip pan is setting on. I like the setup.

@Arkysmokin I have the XL Woo2 Adjustable Rig Combo from the Ceramic Grill Store.  Instead of using a platesetter, I have a pizza stone sitting on the Woo2 and my drip pan is sitting on the pizza stone (with spacers for an air gap).
