Went on a coffee crawl this morning. One of the stops ages their cold brew in French oak, but uses chips instead of casks to control quantity. Thoughts on using as smoke wood? Thinking about trying to make my own but no idea where to get French oak. American oak would probably work. Wondering about the toasting process. I'm not smart enough to figure this out.

    A few years ago I was sent some coffee wood from Costa Rica and it was a great flavor enhancement for beef. Sadly  the source is no longer available, however I take coffee grounds used and dry them out and either place in a foil pouch with holes or throw a handful over the fire just before adding the steak.  Works for me.
