I want to pick up some maple and fruit-flavored wood chunks to make some baby back ribs  for the first time on my BGE.

Can anyone recommend a supplier or brand I can pick up in Illinois or over the interweb?

Thanks,
Jeff

    MojoBricks is out of the Chicago area.  It's wood shavings compressed together.  Burns forever and you can get "Mapple" (Maple-Apple).  I have some in my egg right now for two pork butts.

    Otherwise any BBQ shop should have some smoke woods or be able to order them for you.  I like maple, apple, cherry, and peach.

    I don't know of anyone in your area, but a lot of people here order from Firecraft.com is good place to order lump, and wood from.  Free shipping if you order 100 pounds or more.

    i keep a hatchet in the truck, smoking woods are everywhere. in my 1/10 acre lot there is maple, white oak, cherry, lilac, and grape, a short walk gets me  post oak, apple, and shagbark hickory. at camp there is blueberry. is there an orchard around, they might be pruning right now ;)

    I think I have a free sample of some of their stuff that one of the guy's from there gave me at last years American Royal.  I haven't tried it yet.  May have to with some chicken this week.

    Home Depot carries several smokewoods. Cherry, apple, hickory, mesquite, pecan and maybe alder. At least they used to. I think they recently changed their smokewood brand so I don't know what they have now. I've never seen maple anywhere. But I have plenty in my yard.

    Cabellas carries several too.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I've used and had excellent results with their apple, cherry, oak, sugar maple, and olive.

    +1 for Fruita Wood.  Great service and really good quality wood.  Very reasonable if you pick up from their store in Colorado.
