Has anyone used maple for flavor?
I am using oak for fuel.
I have a pork belly that will be cured for 7 days with maple syrup and I will smoke it thursday. I have used hickory before to do this but curious as to using maple. Any help is appreciated.

It's very mild so not a lot of strong flavor. I have a yard full and I used to use it quite often, until I got my hands on some white oak. Free is a great price and both of them are.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I have been using Canadian Maple for awhile now. We can get it at Lowes and Home Hardware. I can honestly say I don't think I will ever use anything else now. It gives everything you cook a mild kick of flavor.I tried some Wicked good a while back and it made everything taste Wickedley Smokey.

I love maple. It's a little bit stronger than fruit woods like apple and cherry but a little bit lighter than oak and hickory. Great on pork, love love love it on ribs. Sweetest smoke you'll find.

Very happy with the Sugar Maple I get mailed from Maine. Hams and butts.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.
