I've been unsuccessful trying to track down some green / fresh alderwood planks. Seems as if everything is dried. Does anyone know of any source?

    I had a smoked salmon appetizer at The Salmon House on the Hill in West Vancouver. The chef recommended using green alderwood as he said you get quite a bit more smoke that way. If I can't find it, maybe I'll try to order some alderwood dust and cold smoke it.

    I'm awaiting the cold smoker unit that Don Marco used for his cold smoked salmon the other week. I think it's shipping from the UK. Unfortunately, I can not find the alder dust. Maybe I'll order the dried alderwood and have someone turn in into sawdust for me and use it with the cold smoker unit when it arrives. I'm probably making a mountain out of a molehill. Just a little bit OC. :side:

    Years ago I bought a reusable alder wood plank. It was thick and had tighting bolts on both end in case the plank started to split. You put it on top of the plate setter. It was still perfect after many years of use. It got left behind accidentally when I moved from the East “aka, the Ice”coast to the Northwest.   Had anyone run across something like this?
