This is the heart of the corn cobb and it is processed into small granules. Mix a teaspoon with a tablespoon of apple or cherry when smoking chicken or turkey. Ribs, brisket, anything where a BBQ sauce is to be used, works well with this robust wood. A distinct flavor that adds a touch of magic to chicken and game birds. Maybe it's because Fall brings memories of vivid orange maple trees dotting green fields of lazy dairy cows - you get the picture.
Maple is great for smoking cheese.
But just remember - a little bit does it. Overused it can turn foods bitter. Colorado Springs CO 80960.
