I just couldnt resist posing these pic's.
This is a little better than an hour into it. Im sure that anyone can see where this is going.
I got the sea scallops for about $16, they came from the back were completly frozen, which is good. The 2 kingfich steaks were about $6.25
I used wood from my dad's farm in Tennesse, its oak.
I cut this up into blocks with a miter saw. I use a charcoal chimney about 3/4 full of briquets, to start the smoker.
The tin foil around the lid seal, stops air leaks, which can dry out the fish. As always, when i smoke fish, I use the waterpan with some hickory wood chips and half full of water. This has always worked well for me, so I go with it.
I have been dreaming to get out to elliot key in biscayne bay, and ride around the mountain bikes, with my wife and daughter. The problem is you can only get to the island/key by boat. Tonight I actually ran this past my wife. See said there aynt no way you getting me to cross that bay with all of us and three bikes in the 14ft boat. So I guess thats out for now... Anyhow this is the spot I want to set up the axial rotor wind turbine(temporary deal, no more than 30 days) im still trying to figure out the stator winding on. There is a primitive campsite there, with running cold water for showers and bathrooms. Bear in mind Elliot Key is nearly 8 miles from mainland, and is part of a national park. The island is 7 miles long.
Anyhow my camera misfired and took this. Good thing, american idol is on for two hours tonight. 
my wife is up watching.
I thought it looked cool so what the hell.
