Smoke brine...Alternative for glass

[DBuck]

I have trout that I'll be smoking soon, all the recipes that I've read call for using a glass bowl to brine the fish in. I don't have a huge glass bowl so I'm wondering what you guys use. Also, when you guys smoke trout do you cut them in half or do them whole? I'm not filleting them.

I use a large plastic container to brine anything I'm gonna put in my smoker. Trout I smoke whole or just cut the head off.

That's good to know, I couldn't understand why I couldn't use plastic. My heads are cut off but a lot of the pictures I see shows them cut in half... Thanks for the response

Any food safe container made of a material impervious to water will do.
