Rub the Butt
Cook
My friend owns a cabinet shop and has offered me his maple wood scraps. Does anyone know if the maple scraps are ok for cooking?

Maple is an awesome smoking wood ... period!
Subtle flavor and nice sweet smoke.
Smokey_Joe said:The kiln dried maple will burn HOT and long.. great wood for a fire base, but you will receive liitle to absolutely NO flavor from it. Above statement was correct, if you want a maple flavor, you'll have to go to cordwood maple. I find the best smoke flavor results from maple when you use pieces of maple wood no bigger then 4 inches in diameter.
Personally I believe the kiln drying process REMOVES everything needed for smoking purposes. Also...kinda rule of thumb... it's a good wood to smoke/cook with if the tree produces some kind of nut.
I have some 2 year old oak wood that I soak for 24 hours in a 5 gallon pail of apple juice before I use it...MMMMMMMMMMMM
Experiment....
