Maple smoking wood?

[bwhite82986]

Hey guys, we cut down a part of an older maple that broke during a storm a few weeks ago. My gut tells me maple would not be good smoking for the same reason pine would not be good...potential sap but internet searches tell me otherwise. Who am I to believe? I believe it's sugar maple. they are perfect size for a stick burner when I get one in the fall.

Thoughts?

Yes maple will smoke well. Just let it season and you'll be fine.
