Smoke Salmon Newbie

[wizardvz]

Hi everyone. New at this and love smoked fish. I’d like to make smoked salmon but not sure of some things. I have a MES30 so wondering how high in the box should the fish be at (which level of the 6 grates to use)?
Should I use a rub or what, Water in pan or not, And best wood?
Thanks so much for any and all the help I get. This is gonna be great!!!
