Wolf has a thread on his new smoker, might be some info there that will help your decision, or ask him directly what his thoughts are.

I always use apple or cherry for salmon. I buy bags of chips from canadian tire when they go on sale.

I find the Sooke Hills brand of chips superior to the one you get at Canadian Tire. I like a 50/50 mix of alder/apple for
salmon. No more than 2 pans of chips,or the smoke flavor gets overpowering IMHO.
