I'm making my first batch of wine which included some French oak chips. I just transferred to the secondary carboy and the soaked wine chips are left behind. Has anyone here ever used chips from winemaking in the Egg?

    Yep.

    Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...

    Let's give this a go-wine chips and smoke wood and Q.  Did I miss the obvious...All kidding aside, I would run with those in a heart beat.  Probably best with a beef cut to enjoy the aromatics.  YMMV-

    I have used chips/chunks from French white oak wine barrels. Amazing smoke flavors. I used chips from white wine barrels and red wine barrels. Either choice yields amazing results on anything you choose to cook.
    Good Luck, I know you will enjoy.
