What is maple smoking wood?
Maple smoking wood is made from the wood of the maple tree. This type of wood is known for its fine structure and aromatic properties.
When heated, maple smoke chunks produce a soft, even smoke that subtly adheres to the surface of the meat. The flavor is slightly sweet and rounded, giving the dish extra depth without becoming heavy.
Why choose maple smoking wood?
- Mild, slightly sweet smoke flavor
- Subtle vanilla-like undertone
- Ideal for pork and poultry
- Perfect for balanced smoke profiles
Maple is an excellent choice when you're looking for a warm, refined smoke that doesn't overpower.
Maple Smoke Chunks - ideal for longer sessions
Maple is available from us as smoke chunks. Thanks to their larger size, chunks burn slowly and release stable smoke for a longer period.
Maple smoke chunks are ideal for:
- Low & slow cooking
- Gas BBQ, Kamado and charcoal BBQ
- Larger cuts of meat
- Controlled, long-lasting smoke
Place 1 to 2 chunks between the coals for subtle, long-lasting smoke development.

🐖 Pork and ribs
🐔 Chicken and turkey
🐟 Fish
🥓 Bacon and ham
🥕 Vegetables
Due to its light sweetness, maple is particularly suitable for dishes where a subtle caramelization is desired.
Combine Maple with other wood types

This way, you can build a smoke profile that perfectly matches your BBQ style.
