Maple and oak are different types of wood. What exactly is it that you want to do with it?

That would also be my question, lots of good woods can be used in the aging process. White oak is the most common but most heartwood from fruit trees also can make a nice drop. Oak is the most common because of it's ability when made into a barrel, it is tighter and less chance of leaking.

Sorry Maple wood, just to get a different take on different wood that can be used for the aging process.

There ya go. Your local BBQ store or hardware store should have a wide variety of smoking chips of different wood. Personally I use virgen wood. Have a few guys around me that sell wood for fires. Usually get 2 to 3 year seasoned wood for the price of a coffee. More then enough for my batches. I have a box of split silver maple that's three years seasoned outdoors. I toast and char then myself.

Another thing to think about for Maple.

There are different species. Typically most maple you purchase for woodworking is soft maple (still considered a hardwood). If you are looking for Maple, look fo Sugar Maple, also referred to as hard maple. I'm luck I know were 7 acres of mature maple bush is I find sugar maple has a nicer flavor profile. If you cut it in the spring when sap jut starts running it seams to be sweeter also. Cure it well for a year or 2 then toast it. I use this for smoking also very nice!

I had a 25 year old Japanese maple that needed to come out and use that from time to time. I find it gives a very nice flavor but is easy to leave in too long.
