How mild is maple wood?
Florida maple, to be specific.
I smoked a 7.3 pound butt last Saturday. It was in the smoke at 250 for 9 hours (yeah, it was being a little stubborn.) It turned out okay, but really did not taste smoky at all. The only thing I can think of that might have been different is that I may have used a lot of maple. I say "may have" because I have a stack of mixed wood (oak, hickory, and maple) - so I did not pay that much attention to which one I threw in over the course of the 9 hours. So, is that a possible explanation... too much maple? (For the record - that maple really smells good when it's burning!)

Depends on the maple species. We use Sugar Maple here which is also called rock maple. It is a little more mild than pecan to my taste buds. I see there is a Florida Maple but I have no knowledge of it.

Stickburner? some woods impart more smoke flavor than others into your meats.. Did it have a smoke ring?

Maple might be a bit mild on a stick burner. It is a mild smoke, much like fruity woods (apple, cherry).

Maple Smoked Pork Chops.
These where amazing... couple handfuls of maple chips provided the smoke over oak lump charcoal. |

It's been my experience that maple has a mild smoke flavor(I use Red Maple), but imparts a very nice brown color.
