David from RI

[p]Good morning[p]I am going to be smoking a lot of bluefish today. Never have done it with the egg.
Looking for any tips and improvements on my plan below.[p]I have the blue in the brine right now.[p]I will be using the Guru to keep the temp down in the pit ( as per Shotgun fred write up on the guru)[p]How much charcoal shoulds I use ?( will be looking for 200 pit temp)[p]Any thing I ma missing. Chips or chunks ? Different techniques?[p]Can I use both the grid extender and the grill or will the lower be to hot or the top be to cool if I move the probes below the grid extender on the grill?[p]Thanks everyone[p]DR from RI

David from RI,
You didn't mention a plate setter. I like to smoke my fish for 2-3 hours, and the only way to do that is with indirect heat.[p]If you have a lot of fish, you can use all your available surfaces, some might just get done before others.[p]I'd use plenty of coal, at least fill the fire box up, and alder chips or chunks if you have them. Otherwise, any wood can be good, but I would not use mesquite.[p]Scott
