I think you should try, if nothing else, some of our lake michigan coho salmon
take filets skin on. soak in a brine. about one cup of salt and one cup of brown sugarper a gallon af waterdisolved
soak for 24 hours.
don"t make a huge pile of chacoal, let get totaly white.
pile on some water soaked apple wood or peach chips.
smoke for at least 3 hours until cooked, but not dryed out


Cornish game hens same thing with the brine, but they will need more charcoal and more time
