Found a lovely wild caught Chinook salmon fillet, and added some boneless chicken breasts from our freezer to a smoke today. Started the marinade yesterday - different ones for chicken and fish of course. The chicken placed closer to the flame to get properly cooked, the salmon at the far end so it's partially cold-smoked. I do tend to over-smoke things sometimes (mostly apricot wood from our tree after August pruning), so there was a hint of tar bitterness on the chicken, but that rubs off pretty well with a bit of salted vinegar and a paper towel. This will give us some yummy salad topping for a few days.
