I only use wood that I source myself locally for smoking, and have used mostly various oak, hickory, cherry, and apple. I recently found some local red maple that is going to be thinned out of an oak-hickory stand this winter.  What do you folks think of maple wood for the smoker?

Maple makes a milder smoke, and is fine when you don't want a heavy oak smoke, like with fish, veggies, or chicken.
