Smoked Trout

• 3 lemons, halved

1. Light a charcoal grill or heat 1 burner on a gas grill to moderately high.
2. Season the trout inside and out with salt and pepper.
3. When the coals are hot, rake them to one side.
4. Sprinkle half of the wood chips over the coals.
5. Or, for a gas grill, add the chips to a heavy-duty foil pan and set it directly on the burner.
6. Oil the grill opposite the heat source.
7. Set the trout, backbone toward the heat, on the oiled grill.
8. Cover and grill the trout for 15 minutes.
