    I've been looking to make myself a homemade smoker for salmon I'll have caught this season. Im going to build it with some old 1/2 inch T&G flooring I have in tge she'd but as for creating the smoke, im clueless for now. I know I can light a small fire with whatever timber I'll use, ideally oak or hickory.

    Just wondering is there anyone on here that uses a smoker for their salmon and if so, is it homemade

    As for smoking itself, what's involved in tge whole process and how long does it take.

    Half a dozen small crocodile clips; two large roasting trays; some stainless wire mesh, tinfoil’ and some untreated oak’ pine’ or cedar’ sawdust, about two tablespoons
    Place the sawdust into the tray; cover with tinfoil’ to catch the liquid’ from the fish’ place wire mesh on top, the large roasting trays; will do a two pound sea trout; a four or five pound peal; halved ‘
    Place the whole lot on a gas ring’ or electric one’ make sure you turn on the extractor
    It should cook and smoke at the same time in a bout half an hour
    Alternatively you can cook it on the barby’ on a cedar plank ‘that has been socked in water’ for a day or two
