Smoked tuna bellies

[sciaenops]

Looks tasty PJ. I've only done a couple batches using a simple marinade. Topped each piece w/a sprinkle of brown sugar & a shake of red pepper flakes & into my electric smoker for an hour max (my pieces we're probably smaller than your). Definitely a light smoke but didn't dry out.

Had a couple packages of bft leftover from last year so i decided to fire up the smoker and make a little tuna candy! 4 hour marinade, 2 hour drying and a quick 1 1/2 hour smoke at 200°

Pj I like your smoker setup. Vertical smokers are the best for smoking meats. All your neighbors are probably attracted to your house when you fire it up. Is your smoker a wood chunk smoker?
