i've used maple quite a bit.
It's actually a really nice smoke, almost sweet.
If your palate is sharp you can pick up the some hints of flavor similar to maple syrup.
I make maple cured, maple smoked bacon twice a year. It's magical
I've also smoked some butts with maple and complimented it with a tangy pineapple bbq sauce - it was really good.
That was back when I was young and ambitious. (and not even on a weber yet)
I'm with Bubba!
I like Maple in all its forms:
Maple Lump
Maple briqs
Maple Sugar
Maple syrup
Sugar Maple chunksk
Maple Mojobricks
