the shops that sell the smokers also carry the wood chips, so she would
have an idea of where/whom to go ask

my favs are
hickory
apple
oak scotch (and such) barrels being recycled from the wine factories
and more

i completely forgot this Barbie short cut

soak a Cedar plank for a few hours (i use a bucket & weights and aim for
12 hours)

place the oiled plank on the barbie, with the salmon on the OILED
side..... season to taste.......??? pesto? rosemary? garlic? lemon?
whatever you fancy

close the cover on the barbie and allow the salmon to cook, when the
'top' is showing white 'juice' time to flip the salmon

soon as the salmon is cooked, put the Cedar plank in a bucket of water,
so you can use it again

there are many "Salmon on Cedar BBQ" recipies on the net...... they will
tell your some variation of what i said above (garlic? oranges? thyme?
mango chutney?.... let your imagination go wild)

In general, yes. As far as what I will use to BBQ or smoke, not really.

BTW When in London some years ago, I was given a few staves from an Ardbeg
barrel, to use for smoke. I prefer them as wall hangings!

lol first post:
"Ross
Just about any dry seasoned hardwood. Wood with sap/resin it it will
give off toxic or bitter fumes/taste. Fruit trees are good, so is Ti
Tree, Cherry and Apple are real good so is used French oak wine barrels.
Red gum is good in moderation.

Cheers"

those wine drums are popular!

Its times like this that I wish Australia had more choice of things in
the culinary dept.
When I was at WW about 38 years ago I was jealous of the different types
of flavourings and variety of diet drinks you guys had in the US We
had TAB (a cola drink by Coke) and Tresca, a lemon diet drink - also by
Coke I think. All these wonderful sugar free desserts were in the recipe
book using berry flavoured diet drinks etc
