Maple in a smoker (BGE)

(1/1)

gmac:
Anyone ever used maple as a smoking wood in a smoker or Big Green Egg?  We just had a whole bunch of trees cut down and there's lots of maple around here but I never hear about it as a smoker wood so I'm wondering why.  I'm guessing it's pretty mild.  I can find chips for apple, hickory, alder, pecan etc but I've got all this easy access to maple so I wondered if it was worth trying.
Thanks.

Maple is used for ham and bacon. Not bad on those meats. Not sure I would smoke grain for a beer with it.

gmac:
Thanks  I was thinking ribs and chicken. For malt I like apple.

I smoke stuff with maple - it's good on cheese as well as the stuff you mentioned.  I wouldn't hesitate to use it for anything.
