RecipesCamerons Stovetop Hot Smoked Hot Dogs
Sausages are the UKs favourite food when the BBQ is on!

Mediterranean Chicken
Pesto (You may also use ready- made pesto)
3 x Cups fresh Basil leaves (loosely packed).
3 x Tablespoons lightly toasted pine nuts.
2 x Cloves roughly chopped garlic.
½ Cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
½ Cup extra virgin olive oil.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Pop all the ingredients into a blender and blend until you have a paste.
Rub (Use a store bought rub if you want to skip this step).
1 x Tablespoon course sea salt.
1½ x Tablespoons cracked pepper corns.
1 x Tablespoon dried Rosemary.
1 x Tablespoon dried Oregano.
1 x Tablespoon ground Coriander.
If you like a bit of a “kick”, add some crushed chili.
Mix all the ingredients by hand in a mixing bowl.
Chicken
1 x Large, preferably free range chicken, removed from the fridge/ freezer and left to stand until it reaches room temperature.
Preparation - Loosen the skin of the chicken and using a spoon, insert the pesto between the skin and flesh. Once you have a few spoonfuls in place, massage the bird until the pesto is evenly distributed.
Take a bit of the left over pesto and rub it all over the outside, then sprinkle on your lovingly prepared rub (the pesto will help it to stick).
Place the bird on the cooking grill of your smoker (the smoker has been set up for water smoking and the charcoal has a light grey colour). Close the lid, open the bottom door and throw on some wood for smoke flavour. With the smoker running at between 200°F and 250°F the bird should be done in around 3½ Hours.
Remember to use a probe thermometer to check if it’s done. Tip – Let the chicken “rest” for at least 10 minutes before carving.
Salmon Steaks
6 x Salmon steaks (1 – 1.5 inches thick).
2 x Cups cold water.
2 x Tbsp sea salt.
1½ x Tsp white wine vinegar.
1 x Tsp dried mixed herbs.
¼ x Cup extra virgin olive oil (EVO).
Combine the water, salt vinegar and mixed herbs. Stir until salt dissolves.
Place the fish steaks into a non-reactive dish (glass) and pour the mixture over. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, use this time to set up your smoker.
Once the smoker is ready, water pan in and filled about ½ way, place the steaks on the cooking grill.
Put the lid on (remember to open the lid vent fully) and add the wood of your choice to the charcoal, using the bottom access door.
We recommend a mild wood such as Alder for fish.
Cook for about 2 hours at 220°F, or until the fish flakes easily.

make small balls about the size of a golf ball, then in the palm of your hand squeeze into 100 mm logs. Place in fridge for up to 6 to 20 hrs. Skewer 2 kebabs onto each skewers. Will make 10 to 12 portions.
Top tip, slice a potato about 10 mm - 1/2” thick and place it under the kebab, this will prevent the kebab from sliding of the skewer into the charcoal. |
