This hardwood is from the sugar maple tree and is also known as hard maple. Smoking with Maple Wood Chips is much like smoking with other fruitwoods like cherry. It gives the food being smoked a sweet and subtle, balanced flavor that is excellent, especially for ham and bacon. Maple Wood Chips are also great for poultry, pork, salmon, arctic char, and trout.
To use the Maple Wood Chips, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before you are ready to smoke. They can also be soaked in apple juice, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, honey brown lager, and maple lager for added flavor. When they have been sufficiently soaked, remove the Maple Wood Chips from the liquid, place them into a Napoleon Smoker Pipe, and place that pipe directly on the sear plates of your gas grill. Alternatively, you can place soaked chips into the integrated smoker tray on the Prestige PRO™ Series PRO665RSIB Gas Grill, or directly onto the lit charcoal of an Apollo® 3 in 1 Charcoal Grill and Water Smoker.
