What happen to my ribs? Help

Former Member

Hello Q,s

I seasoned my new 55 then smoked catfish and saugage together. For my 1st it was good. The next day I smoked BB ribs and chicken. After four hrs. took them off. They look great. The problem is they tasted like FISH! Do I need to clean out after I cook fish? Can I use a cleaner and hose out?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Dennis - I've never heard of anyone Q'ing fish for their "1st Q." Think you are supposed to do a really fatty meat like a butt or briskett for the first Q. Fish as a 1st Q may have been a mistake. I'm sure someone more experienced will have something to say. Hey! We all make mistakes. Don't let this get you down. Your CS can be cleaned and re-seasoned if necessary. Let some others chime in and give their advice.

Welcome to the forum. May your Q get increasingly better and your mistakes be few!

I don't think it had anything to do with what you cooked before. I would say it is what they fed the hogs that the ribs came from. I got a 10lbs box from krogers for like 99 cents a lbs they had a fishy taste. But my rabbit dogs seem to really like them.......lol

Denman, I have cooked fish and meats and as long as I wash the racks real well, change the foil inside and wipe the botom of the CS , I have not had the taste of one cross contaminate the next batch.
