Sounds good, I think.  Maple syrup and garlic.  I never thought of that before.  What flavor does it impart?  What kind of wood are you using?  How bout a pic of the finished product.

Some say BBQ is in your blood, if thats true my blood must be BBQ sauce.

Sounds good.  What does c/w mean in the title?  Covered with?  Combined with?  Hope you take a picture.  Love Scallops!  Maple syrup should carmelize a bit, and mix well with the garlic.

Please post up results.  Thanks.

c/w = complete with.I took about 20 large scallops put them in a bowl,crushed 1 head of garlic over them,added some "granulated" garlic(not garlic powder) about 1 tablespoon,about the same for dehydrated onion,1 teaspoon of cumin mixed them all up and drizzeled 1/2 cup of maple syrup over them and then in to fridge for 4 hrs turning over every hr.
  It is surprising that some of the syrup does get absorbed into the flesh.Lade them out on 1 jerky rack and sprinkled Cajun spice on half of them.The smoker was warmed to 210 and I started of with 1 hickory(for intense flavor NOW) than alternated between apple/cherry for a total of 5 pucks.
  My Radio Shack digital thermometer gave out again(2nd one in a month) so I was on my own,Last time it was warmer out and they took about 1 1/2 hrs.I checked at 2 hrs and they were perfect.I was running the temp about 3/4 of the switch to the high side.
 Company loved them they were tasty the Cajun ones had a bit of bite to them [:p] .I served them with regular seafood sauce.and a curry/honey sauce.
 Sorry no pics never thought of it + I'll have to practice on how send pics to this forum.There were some of the scallops that were gritty(?)but I never dropped them they were rinsed prior to brining.
    Hope this helps [^]
