Question by Claire: What is the best type of wood to fuel a fire when cooking with salmon?
I am planning on cooking salmon over a fire, and I was wondering which type of wood would be best to use. Also, where would be a good place to buy the wood to fuel the fire?
Any information is appreciated, thank you very much!

You can use Oak and pick it up along almost any road.
If you want fancy wood go here.

we like mesquite best with salmon, although we use mesquite grilling chips ….. Home Depot, Lowe’s and Walmart should all have it……

Ash – Excellent firewood. Tends to burn very well, even if a bit wet and green. Distinctive flavor goes well with fish.
(
Cedar – Lovely smell, like the inside of a cigar humidor. Gives nice steady heat without too big a flame. Excellent for cooking and smoking. Cedar planks can be soaked and used to cook foods like pork and fish (cedar planked salmon being a classic dish) on a grill to great effect. Definitely one of the best firewoods for cooking if used correctly.
Cherry – Another of the best firewood types.
Mesquite – Another one of the most popular woods for cooking either as a primary fuel or as a smoking wood. Burns very hot with a smokey but richly flavored smoke. Nice earthy flavor is good with just about anything including beef, fish, chicken and game.
