Jack Daniels Oak Chips for BBQ

[admin]

Hop Bomb gave me a bag of these that I was hoping to use *in* beer, but I suspect they have been soaked in kerosene to help them burn. Or even some flame retardant to make sire they don't burn too well.

In which case I can't use them in beer.

Does anyone know the story with these?

"I have used some JD smoker chips but it has been a while back. They do an acceptable job but seasoned white oak is really better and oak barrels even better. Treat them like a once used barrel and leave them in to age a little longer. Ya could put more in if your in a hurry but I wouldn't recommend that. In my opinion less oak and more time will give you a better product"

Be grand. Lob em in boss!

Yeah, Hop Bomb's right on that. I've added too much to my cherry whisky some time ago and got this wooden after taste. It probably won't happen to your stout.
I'd recommend to grill them on bbq instead of baking them in the oven.
Muslin bag is also handy for oak chips.
