Instructions
Place cleaned trout in a large sealable plastic bag.Empty entire bottle of marinade over the fish into the bag.Seal bag and place fish in refrigerator for 8 to 10 hours up to 2 days.Set your smoker to 150 degrees and use a mild wood such as pecan, apple, oak or alder. When grill reaches temperature, spray smoker grate with a high temperature cooking spray.
Place onion, herbs and pats of butter (or buttery spread) inside the fish cavity. Then lay the trout directly on the smoker grate. There should be enough space between your trout so the smoke can reach all parts of the fish.
Let the fish smoke for 30 minutes at 150 degrees to dry the outside of the fish so that it can be firmer in the later stages of smoking.After 30 minutes raise the temperature to 225 degrees to finish the smoking process.Smoke until the fish reaches 145 degrees. If you go higher than this the fish will start to turn into fish jerky. Total cooking time usually takes 1 to 2 hours depending on size of your fish and how many youre smoking at one time.
