Maple Flavored Pork Ribs

[Martya01]

I work at a food processing company that makes bacon, I was wanting to take some of our maple flavor and dilute it down like we do at my job. But everyone is saying that maple flavored ribs sound like a terrible idea. I plan on injecting the maple into the ribs then smoking them on my wood pellet grill for 3 hours then so on. Any advice and good rib recipes would be great.

Heck, no reason why they won't be real good. You could? consider spritzing during the cook instead of injecting. Just a thought.

Try it! You’ll never know if you don’t!

I say, "Try it."
But, I think you should go light on it initially.
Instead of injecting I'd baste twice in the last hour.

Thank you guys, right now I’ve got 10 oz of water to 1 oz maple flavor. My biggest fear is that it’ll cause the meat to caramelize (if I spelled that correctly) with the sugar from the maple if I were to inject it.

I'd follow the advice above from the sage The way Chili described it is exactly how I'd do it. If they come out great, you've hit a home run. If they need a bit of an adjustment next time, you can do that. It's always easier to add flavor to something than it is to remove it if overdone.
