Odor in model 55

Former Member

Well! Smoked mullet in the model 55 yesterday. Mullet came out wonderfull and cleaned the cookshack out as per instructed and dishwashed the racks and rack holders. Today, when checking my cleaning efforts and replacing the racks the fish odor caused me to step back.

I don't know if a pan of baking soda left in it with the door closed or if it will take something else to get ride of the odor. I sure don't want this odor to cross over into a pork or beef cooking.

Any good ideas?

Hello Mullet;

Do know that truckers use ground coffee to mask
the fish smell in transport trailers.

Just a thought, maybe a small amount of fresh ground would help.

Throw a couple of yardbirds in there,four ounces of hickory and cook away.

Worst case you stunk up a couple yardbirds,but I have never had a cross cook odor problem.

I have cooked a lot of fish over the years and no one complained.

OK! Tom,

Will smoke some Cornish this weekend and hope for the best. We always make bird dressing on the side and we can always throw away the Cornish and eat the dressing.

A quick thought -- did you clean out the drip pan -- We have done a bunch of fish and haven't had that problem at all. That is the only idea I could come up with.

Yes! Put it though the dishwasher with the racks. I left the door open all night, stored out in the utility room - today it is much better. I think I can now smoke again without cross flavoring the chickens. Made dip with the smoked mullet and it is the best we have made, plenty of smoke, but not bitter.

Thanks to all for the help.
