I get Green Lipped Mussels at the Chinese Buffet near me in Garlic Sauce but never Smoked.

Our Black Mussels have been coming from P.E.I.  In our house we put the in tomato sauce or in Brooklyn Gravy.

I have Steamed them in wine removed from shell. Placed back in shell & made a Bread Crumb Stuffing for over the top. Bake till just brown on top & serve.

Hello Wallace
I like the look of your smoke box, is it a stand alone unit or does it sit on top of a gas BBQ?
The small 'kipper box' I've got uses a small metho burner to heat the dust and has a shelf between the rack and the wood dust to catch the drips - it looks like your's uses a sheet of heavy foil on top of the wood dust to catch the drips.
Thanks, Michael

Thanks - I had another look at the photo, if the box was as big as I first thought the mussels would be huge!
