About the same price for salmon here, when its on sale....Briskets always 1.68 lb and when on sale .99 have seen them as low as .59 a lb, limit 2 with a 10 dollar purchase.  Needless to say during that sale, I'm in the store everyday!   ;D

Man I'd love to get brisket that cheap. On sale here its around $4/lb.

The fresh, wild caught Alaskan Salmon goes on sale here for $10-13/pound.  And, it's good, when I can get it.  The farm raised Atlantic Salmon isn't worth buying.  Artificial color added?  Yuk.

Get me a case at that .99 sale. Be right there to pick it up. Hmm, it's a road trip so maybe that better be 2 cases!  ;D

Well around here Alder is typical because that is what the natives used and they used cedar. I have never tried cedar even though people will cedar plank their salmon I always wonder about smoking with it. It has oils in it that I don't know what would taste like. You will also notice that Bradley doesn't make cedar bisquettes. Apple and maple are good, but I say try whatever you think you might like, it might surprise you. That is part of the fun of this smoking, experimentation.
