Didn't have much time today so I turned my WSM into a grill for a quick Salmon meal for dinner:

Hands were grabbing so I didn't have time for presentation prep...Turned out excellent for a quick meal

i have grilled fish before but have never tried to smoke any. Was thinking of trying to smoke some salmon and was wondering if anyone had any good ides about what wood to use. I looked in the bandera 101 wood list but only saw ash. Does anyone have experience with this?

i have smoked with mostly fruit and a little hickory thrown in and it came out good.

I think like our oranges...they ship all the fresh stuff to Texas or somewhere:biggrin: ....actually my daughter likes salmon so i try to make it for her every once in a while. I prefer grouper or pompano.

Alder is traditional on the west coast. Of course alder is the most abundant "hardwood" here. A bit of cedar smoke makes it good- like when you plank the fish and the plank starts to char!

If the rain stops, I might do this tonight!

nuts! forgot I ran out of alder! really need to get down to the in-laws and cut up a tree.

In my opinion, salmon is sturdy enough to stand up to almost any smoke wood. I regularly use pecan, oak, even hickory. Any fruit wood is good. I use citrus sometimes, too, but I prefer the more assertive woods myself.

If I had to pick one, it would be pecan.

French Oak is what I use for Salmon
