Fergie, smokers are great things. Since getting mine, I`ve used it lots of times. Don`t be put off by the pish you can read about them, keep it basic and enjoy.

I will certainly be keeping it simple for now mate.I got some sawdust with it but the GAC sell it anyway 

[Part-time]

As ever the most non part time fisher I`ve ever had the company of !

Don't know about that Bob - I can't believe how little I got out last season. Hopefully might meet up for a cast with you this season; give me a shout if you're heading up North or I'm usually down at the inlaws in the borders a few times a year. I'll bring the smoker

I always seem to over smoke, and dont seem to get the flavours of the `ingredient`s !!
Am I expecting too much or not putting enough "Flavouring" in ?

I just use the basic Abu or Snobee wood dust; just oak I think. Only flavouring it a wee touch of salt if I remember it.

As well as fish I find good quality sausages  and burgers do well in the smoker. Needs a couple of extra lotsof meths to make sure their cooked. Some thin venison sausages were excellent

[fergie]

Roughly how long would a half pound trout take. And sausages im just no sure on times also is the fat in burgers and sausages a problem.?

As you are hot smoking at pretty high temperatures they take about 10 to 15 minutes max.

You get a variety of wood chips for smokers out of Dobbies

[Billy]

The last pack I got out was in Asda. Once the barbeque stuff goes on the shelves you should be able to pick it up there. If Christmas and easter stock is anything to go by it should be on the shelves already. :

If I remember they had a couple of different wood types and cheaper than some of the other stockists.

I go by number of fills of the meths burner as a guide rather than time. Trial and error and have a look now and again. Shelter makes a difference as well; I always build up stones around the smoker if I can. For meat or anything you want to cook slower and longer you can lower the heat by opening the lid a wee bit. Generally I'd say one fill of the burner does a half pound trout or two, two fills for a pound size trout, burgers or thin sausages and three fills for anything more.
