My son and his bride came over to visit their granmother (just home from the hospital) so we made stuffed green peppers and stuffed tomatoes for dinner. I had some stuffed clams I picked up and figured they'd benefit from a trip into the smoker. Just a simple experiment to see how they might turn out. Hey. We've all heard of smoked clams, right? Cool

Here are the stuffed clams ready for their visit to the Elite. Rather large.


I threw them into a 235* preheated smoker (didn't place them into the smoker until I saw smoke), pouch of cherry pellets (short smoke), and smoked them for an hour. Once they looked golden brown, I pulled them out. Here they are right out of the smoker.


Great appetiser. Nice stuff clam flavor with a layer of light smoke. Still moist, but a tad dry. 45-50 minutes next time would improve an already tasty treat. Mom, Maureen, and my daughter don't eat clams so my son, daughter in law, and I each had 3 of the tasty morsels. Went well with the Gewurztraminer.

I agree with Mr T. I did some of those stuffed clams a while back and, as I recall, they were in the smoker, pre-heated to 225F, for around 30 minutes followed by a quick visit to the broiler. Came out nice.

Once clams get overcooked, there's no coming back, lemon juice or anything else. It's like eating Gummi Bears.
