Alder is the traditional smoking wood of Native Americans o the west coast including Alaska. It's all over the place. We're covered with the stuff here in PNW of WA. When I lived in AK many years ago I cut it and used it to smoke salmon.

akjeff:
Thanks for the info guys! Did not realize that Hickory had more BTU's than Oak!  :thumbup:

And yes, Alder is a GREAT fish(and bird and pork) smoking wood. As noted, it's a staple here in Alaska, and the PNW.
