But any will do.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

So looking at Big leaf maple (western maple) it can also be tapped to make syrup. Looks as though it's not as sweet 2-4% sugar rest being water. Couldn't really find a definitive answer if this wood smoke was sweet (er) or pungent. Or I should just burn it in the fire pit.

It's mild, I have used a bunch of it. I quite like it. I don't think the sap sugar content matters at all unless you cut it in the spring when it's running but I don't know for sure
I used a few green branch trimmings - good, and dried maple -good. Like dried better though.
Definitely use the Big Leaf in the smoker. I bet it's good. And a whole tree is a lifetime of wood for a BGE.Mt Elgin Ontario - just a Large. -
