Sliding easily into our fire pit lugs, our Smoking Plank holder positions a wooden board over your fire pit, and the stainless steal clamp holds your fish fillet into place as it gently cures in the smoke. Our holder is made from high quality British steel and has three different positions so that you can decide the perfect angle to suspend your fish over your fire. There is a groove to channel juices away from the flames in order to avoid the flare-ups which can wreak havoc on your smoked salmon. The board is easily replaceable if it becomes too charred.
To use simply unscrew the stainless steel clamp from the board, place your fillet into the holder, reattached the clamp and slot the board into place over your fire pit.
Top tips:
- Dip your board into water before use
- Aim to keep your fish a minimum distance of 20cm away from the fire
- Keep the tail end of the fillet furthest away from the fire for a more even smoke
- Trial different types of wood to see which smoky flavour you prefer
- And no need for smoke signal strength wafts, a gentle fire will do.
All our Plain Jane fire pits come with a spare slot to hold accessories like our Smoking Plank. You can also use our Smoking Plank in place of the second grill arm on our BBQ King and Box D fire pits. Or it can replace the Swing Arm BBQ Rack on our Ring of Logs, Pete’s Oven and Modular Kitchen Fire Bowls.
