Smoking Pinks

What is the preferred wood for smoking pink salmon? Also, I have been offered oak chips for the purpose of smoking pinks and have never heard of anyone using oak for smoking anything, comments please.

 

Any wood works well as long as it's alder... And only alder.

 

That is the standard, I believe, and if it works well, don't fix it.

 

joint paper hard to keep lit tho

 

Debarked alder and dry brine
A comercial buddy saw hordes off the coast two weeks ago
Four to five fish in the air at one time

Getting stoked
Time to clean the chum skua off the smoker racks

 

That might as well be straight from my grandpa's mouth.

That is not always true though, I have smoked with Dried Cedar and it was nice... Tasted alot like a hamster cage. I think I might try Wormwood on Chums next year because the only way I would eat a Chum is if there were a possibility that I might become intoxicated enough to not realize what I had just done.

 

I like to make chips out of treated lumber for humpies

 

"Smoking Pinks"????

Oh man, I clicked on this thread thinking is was one of those XXXX sorta things!!!

 

Thanks guys, Alder it is.

 

You need to not puss out on Paul Deiter's smoked pink GTG this time around.

 

I like alder but when I want to mix it up a bit, I'll use cherry. Reminds me that I need to go get some more.

 

I was there last time

 

I best go get some sort of memory booster!!

 

Beveridge Place pub. You and I discussed your fondness of the pickled pink.
