I just bought a bag mainly because I thought it was freaking awesome to be able to smoke with real whiskey barrel pieces. Now what the heck do I smoke with them?

--besides beef, I figures that at least.

    When I think of oak smoke, I think of beef first.  Pork second.  You could use it for poultry, but I prefer fruit woods.  Too strong for fish, in my opinion.  There's no right or wrong, it's what tastes good to you.

    Its fine with just about anything. I mainly use it because I like to sit outside by my egg and enjoy the smell. I use the chips for burgers almost every time I make them. I haven't tried the chunks with ribs yet but plan to the next time I do them.

    I agree with nola…. Oak is a natural on beef and pork. But barrels are white oak, and it is quite a but mellower than red oak, so I also agree with jls…it will go on about anything. Like all woods, give it some time to dry out and start burning clean!

    Taking a sip of the stuff that may have been in that barrel right NOW.
    Cheers

    i love those chips .
    Also check out the Tabasco chips !! They are old jack daniels barrels that were used by JD  twice and then used for Tabasco .

    I am not a fan of soaking chips but I always soak the Tabasco ones as they smell like whiskey and that is amazing.

    I use them for everything Pork, Chicken , Beef ,
