Welcome Raistlin  One of the great things about this forum is there are so many post, a quick search will give you lots of opinions on which wood to use for a particular meat.  Good luck with the salmon. Sounds delicious.

I am smoking the salmon at 150 but the chips are not smoking. Maybe I should not have soaked the chips

I agree on not soaking the chips IME.  You might also want to check out the AMNS and ANMPS.  The products that Todd makes are great.  Many folks here on the forums use them and are very happy with the results myself included.

Don't for get pics!

unfortunately no pics.  it turned out terrible.  ill try again

150 degrees is a little low for smoking. 150 degrees is a little more like warming. I doubt that the chips got lit.
