My first go around (spring) I did maple and it turned out great. This weekend I'm going to use Alder (pinks). I have a feeling this will turn out great too!!!  ;)

I generally use Alder for salmon.  Have used Oak as well and that is great.  I did one batch of cold smoked salmon and used an alternating mixture of Alder, Oak and Apple.  That got rave reviews.

I've done cherry on trout and it was great. Should work on salmon.

With smoked salmon you can't really go too wrong but I generally use alder. I put maple syrup on one batch I did and use maple bisquettes on those. Yup they turned out great.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

I like em all with Salmon.  Only wood I have not used is mesquite and hickory.

I haven't done smoked salmon yet but you can play around with any of the 3 mentioned above.  Aldor, Maple and Cherry.

I've done fair bit of reading and it just depends on what you want the final taste to be....all will turn out good salmon.

I'm going to use all 3 when I do some cold smoked salmon here soon.

I'm a traditionalist I guess--alder for me. I just took about 15 lbs of cold smoked sockeye and springs out of the smoker today, vacumn sealed them and they are now in the freezer. Well, not ALL of it--it does have a way of shrinking!  ;) ;)
