Be aware that propane fired smokers aren't nearly as good for smoking fish as electric/wood fired ones.
The reason is that propane puts out a damper heat than wood and that moisture makes a difference in the final product.
I'm not saying that they're 'no good' but a piece of fish that's been sitting in brine for hours does better in a electric/wood fired unit.
Ever dried out in front of a wood fire when you were cold and damp?

Well I went out and bought the one Princess Auto had on sale.   Welltoday I smoked some chedder cheese    I will have to build a cold smoke box for it.  Otherwise looks like a good unit has a adjustable burnerso can turn down the heat.  Has chimney so easy to pipe smoke into a cold chamber.  Now just need to catch some salmon to smoke

LOL.

You should head over to the BBQ Smoker site where they live and breath smokers and try to explain that statement. You'll get a few laughs

  Hey canoe man, how does that hot plate set up at the bottom work?  Do you have a pan on top,

like cast iron or something?
