I haven't heard much about using maple wood for smoke. I think it would be sweet like apple. Anyone tried it?

There is maple and there is maple. If you can get hard maple sometimes called sugar maple from where I come from, it is great. Maple or alder smoked bacon is very similar so I like it with pork. The trouble is there are other maples, silver or swamp maple, that is very soft, more like poplar or aspen. Not so good at all.Seldom see it packaged as a smoke wood, probably because most of the commercially harvested stuff ends up in our lump bags. IMHO.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

You ca get Sugar Maple from SmokinLicious.com. I use it & its great.
Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...
