Is maple OK to use?
I love to cook on my electric smoker. Usually I use hickory but I was wanting to try something new. I have access to an almost unlimited supply of maple. It is from the wood shop here at work, we use air dried soft maple lumber to make our furniture frames. Would this wood work in my smoker to cook with or do I need to keep using the hickory?
Great stuff in the smoker. It's a hardwood but the flavor isn't as dense or heavy as hickory. A little bit of sweetness to it, very good with beef or lamb. Try doing a search for smoking woods and you will find a lot of info including charts of different woods, the flavor and what they are best used for. I'll be smoking a Lendespeck, cured pork loin wrapped in cured pork belly, over applewood this Sunday. very light with a lot of sweetness to it. Right now I have Apple, Cherry, Mesquite and Hickory. My bud is bringing me Lemon later this weekend for smoking fish.
