Are there any of you that smoke w alder wood? I'm curious about it. I usually use apple wood for fish and apple/ oak/ hickory combo for pork. Does alder produce a mild smoke like apple or peach, or is it stronger like hickory or mesquite? Thanks for the help.

Alder Wood is my fish smoking staple. It is a superb smoke that is mellow. This is the only smoke that Salmon folks utilize in the Pacific Northwest for good reason.
