Has anyone used the oak from a  whiskey barrel for smoking on egg?

    Yes. Smells good out of the bag. No noticeable difference in regards to flavour IMO.

    You can buy Jack Daniels wood chips, smell amazing. If you soak them, I am pretty sure you could get drunk off the liquid.

    My sister-in-law gave me this bundle and I have not tried it yet, I always use Apple wood.

    I have used it, IMO it is better for beef too strong for anything else. You might like it for other meats though.

    The only oak I can find comes from whiskey barrels with the predominant being the Jack Daniel's chips these days.  Had a few years where I could get JD chunks but not of late.  I use for any beef cooks, especially brisket or a rib roast.  Enjoy-very thoughtful gift.
