If you like to fish when you're camping or backpacking you can make an inexpensive and handy smoker using an 8-quart camping pot, a small steel grill or steaming rack, and a few basic hand tools.

(See Note) In a portable fish smoker, half-fill the burners with methylated spirits and light them. In the bottom of the portable fish smoker pan, spread a heaped tablespoon of oak woodchips.
