Try it his way on one fillet so you can get familiar with the process, there are as many recipes and techniques as there are people to eat the fish, and after you've tried a few you'll know exactly what flavor profile, style, & technique you like most. One fillet won't break the bank, curl your tongue to badly, or give you the squirts for more than a couple days if something gets out of control.
That recipe & technique will give you a very sweet candied flavor with a ratio of 8:1. Novelty smoked salmon that you'd buy is generally ~4:1 and traditional recipies will be 1-2:1.
Keep it simple and easy so it stays fun. Don't worry about too much smoke or not enough this or that, as long as you don't over heat it while its smoking your good.
The best tip I can offer is not to cook the fish. Smoking is not cooking, but more like dehydrating with smoke. It can take a long time sometimes depending on alotashit. Shoot for ~125° in the smoker.
