- Place fish on a drying rack until dry.
- Smoke for 6 hours total. Place the fish on the smoker with the temperature at 120 degrees. Smoke for 2 hours. Step the heat up to 140 degrees and smoke for 2 more hours. The final 2 hours is at 175 degrees. Goal is to have an internal temperature between 130 and 140 degrees. Note: Every hour the fish needs to be basted with the maple syrup.
