My maple ( Homegrown, silver) produces almost invisible smoke and it's not very sweet, but it's tasty. Rubbed with "Epic Dry Rub" recipe found on the net, modified a little. On the double deuce kettle, one half- fist sized maple chunk and a smaller cherry on rack over my WSM 14 ring, with wings around the perimeter of aforementioned rack.
Broken open at joint to cool. Nice golden honey brown color from the maple, not much cherry color..... It was an interesting mix.
