Hi Andy,

Will you be hot or cold smoking? I hold my hands up to not having cooked trout before but I tend to use cedar with salmon, A large salmon on a plank takes about 40 mins. I am sure someone will pipe in with some good advice for trout.

I've hot smoked trout before, alder is a great wood to use, just remember not to over smoke. If the choice is mesquite or hickory go for mesquite.

It's worth brining the trouts for an hour first if possible, surprisingly brining works wonders on a trout.

Depending on how big they are, they should only take about an hour at 225F.

Post some pics when you're done, would love to see how yours turn out.

cheers guys, the mesquite worked a treat cooked them for an hour and 20 at 220, im no expert on fish but i reckon they were pretty good, heres the nasty bit i hung them from the hooks in the lid, when i pulled the lid off all that was on the hooks was heads so i wont be posting pictures as they were a bit messy but still nice, good job i had a grill under them lol.
