Hi all,my name is Manuel I'm from Spain.I live in Castellon on the East mediterranean coast of Spain,near Valencia.

I purchase a bradley smoke generator last month.Before I work with oak shavings burning and the result were very strong.
Yesterday I did a pork Ham,pork loin and bbq ribs and was very pleased with the result only thing
Is to made a better process to obtain a more little smoke flavor ,I used 12 bisquettes in this process and a lot of hours.

Next step is doing salmon,eel and cod.
I have maple and alder.Wich do you recommend?

Best wishes from Spain.
PD:Sorry about my English.

Welcome to the forum Teremin. Alder is the traditional salmon smoking wood in the Pacific NW. Maple, Hickory, Apple and Cherry also work well with salmon. I don't know how the eel and cod would work with alder as some claim it to be a little harsh, which I would dispute. I would go with the maple for them . It's a "softer " smoke and cod is not a strong tasting fish.

Welcome to the forum from Nebraska. I use hickory for most of my "meat" smokes. As SS says, alder for salmon.

Welcome from Southern Ontario, Canada! Alder, Hickory or Special Blend for Salmon as it's a stronger red fish. (Red fish like salmon and trout can take stronger smoke than white fish such as cod, halibut, king and sword in my experience). As for cod, alder, cherry or pacific blend works very well. It's all about finding your smoke flavour of choice so experiement and you may find a combination that suits you best!

Happy smoking! :)
