you know i read a little bit about Maple wood here but i have to say, i have been using it from smokinlicious lately and am amazed at how good it is on poultry! i like cherry as well but Maple is a really good one as well!
I bought the 3 pack from smokinlicious. i wanted Hickory and Cherry for sure but had a 3rd choice but didn't know what to pick. I grabbed Maple and i am so glad I did!
Hickory on pork for sure, Maple is great on poultry.... anyone have an opinion Maple on fish? which fish? I like catfish and am looking on opinions. i have used Hickory, Mesquite (which was good actually) and apple.

I haven't tried maple yet, but I think I will pick some up and give it go!

I like to use sugar maple quite a bit for chicken and pork. Good stuff!

ok Dale! let me know what you think! i was surprised!

I got the same 3-pack from Smokinlicious as well and I really like the Maple too. Its seems like a pretty generic wood that is really good on most everything. It isn't quite as strong as the Hickory, which makes it great for Poultry and I would think would be really good on fish as well. I am very happy with this as my third option with my Smokinlicious order.

I really like maple for sausage.

Maple is my absolute favorite on pork tenderloin! It's great on any pork, but I especially like it (for some reason) on tenderloin. I also use pure maple syrup (the good stuff) as a rub binder. Smells like pancakes cooking! :D

Sugar Maple is my goto!
Two good chunks in the smoker now with an 11 lb butt.

putting a Butt in tonight and struggling between trying maple or going with my go to hickory for Butt!
first world problems for sure!

My neighbor shared some of his sugar maple wood. As many have already said, the flavor on pork is wonderful! I'll give it a try on chicken wings next, thanks for the recommendation.

Is sugar maple the only variety to use?
I have some silver maple I'm just using for the wood stove, never thought to smoke with it.

I agree. I used the Smokinlicious Sugar Maple on two spatchcocked chickens and it was great!

Smokinlicious is a good source, so is fruitwood.
And welcome to the forum.

Maple is absolutely my favorite... but I primarily use it in conjunction with my grill for ribeyes. A very nice sweetness against a spicy Montreal style rub, comes out perfect.
-
Good balance for sure.

Use maple for everything, Very good for smoked whitefish.
