Place the dome on the kettle and adjust so temp reaches 450˚ F

Place fish on a cooking sheet pan

Drizzle with oil, just enough to coat fish on both sides

Season to taste with 50/50 of Holy Voodoo and Honey Hog

Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to “soak”

Open the grill and carefully add the fish over the hottest part, watch for any signs of flare ups

After adding the fish, close the dome and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side

Carefully open the dome

Using a long pair of tongs, flip the fish after 3-4 minutes of cooking, cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the second side

Continue to cook with the lid closed and check temp.  desired temp is 145˚ F

Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove from the grill, close all vents and put the lid on
