Format Informal [Free For All]. My brother is a finishing carpenter aka makes finished products, kitchens, table, you know the fancy stuff that you can see. Well he has a "collection" of wood. I asked him for some wood for smoking, he says you want Bubinga Wood. I said yes, even before knowing how it would turn out, I mean one its a hard wood so thats good, but since I showed my brother smoking with a BBQ on the island last year he has tried it with salmon and bubinga his quote "yes it tastes awesome with salmon its a real sweet smelling wood." Done! with fatty spring salmon it should hold the smoke nicely too
