did you do a google on smoking woods?

i was under the impression........a maple is a maple, like a apple is a apple.......i LOVE using maple wood

I am not positive, but I think you will be looking for wood from a Sugar Maple tree.

Maple works for me:-)

I have sugar maples around here and occasionally one falls or has to be cut. I like the flavor, its mild, but makes a nice smoke ring, and is plenty hot for cooking.

When I have oak, I will mix it in or even better apple:-)

May just have to add maple to my list...I see 8 lined up in my neighbors yard everyday.
