I had a uncle who's passion was dragging spoons around in lakes. He was quite successful and landed many lake trout and landlocked salmon. He also was good at smoking his catch. I believe he used mostly apple wood. Hardly a family gathering went by without some of his smoked fish. It was always great.Alder is a traditional smoking wood used in Alaska for salmon and that's where she first tasted fish done with it. Amazing flavor. Here is what the onlinegrill.com says about it:

Larry, that looks delicious!We have two preferences within the family for smoked salmon. So one part was on for 25 minute and the other for 40 minutes using alder. The 40 minute piece will be drier and more like Alaskan native smoked salmon. Very flakey.
