Maple chips

[Phil Perrin]

Was at the Bass Pro Shop last weekend,and picked up some maple chips(along with some JD barrel chips,YES!) What takes maple smoke well? I know some smokes are too strong for certain meats. As always,any info from my BBQ brethren is greatly appreciated.

Man, I love me some maple wood when I do chicken wings!!!

I haven't tried it yet, but I imagine maple would work well w/ salmon. I recently saw a maple syrup glazed grilled salmon. Why not add some maple smoke?

I've used it on butts and birds too.

I just did some salmon with maple wood...awesome! Also did a high heat chicken with a maple / apple mix..excellent. I also agree with Bryan, did some ribs and they were great as well. This is a pretty mild wood IMHO, similar to apple.

In the interest of full disclosure: I've used Sugar Maple. I don't know if "regular" maple would be all that different, but thougth I'd mention it.

The one around me didn't have anything but a few bags of K i think (or some off brand maybe, cant remember) but that was early last year and havn't been back since. cause its 45 minutes away I thought I'de ask. thanks.

Dan,my wife and I were running in to get the JD chips while on our way to meet friends for lunch. There was a fishing exhibition going on and all the cooking stuff is WAY in the back so I didn't get a chance to look around. Sorry. But they do have a pretty good web site that is a good indicator of what they have in the store. HTH
