Yes, there are 2 probes in the smoker. I use them for my temp. controller (heatermeter from this forum) but also for the Ikea thermometer when there's no need to use the controller.
Arwin....freshwater fish on the smoker............my favorite. We would love more detail regarding the recipe for brine, wood on the fire, temp and time.... off to lake trout fishing now....oh, boy !! Great job, ARWIN
Does keeping the head on bring on more flavor? I usually cut the head off, just because that's how I was taught. I have noticed on the board here most fish is cooked head on, have I been missing out on flavor or is it just a personal preference?
