Has anyone used any of the oak barrel infused wood chunks? If they have I would like to hear your thoughts on them.
What's the difference from regular wood if any? Thanks!!

I have used some from a big box store. I haven't tried any from a distillery. It imparts some flavor but I am not sure it makes any real difference.

Your porch or deck will smell like red wine or Jack D :)

I could live with that... lol

It usually centers around its use with beef when the topic comes up. Are you thinking about buying the packaged stuff or have access to some old barrels?

I have been seeing this type of wood on some sites. I have never used it and was wondering if there was an actual flavor that came from the infusing of the alcohol. Really just wondering if it was just hype.

It might depend on how sensitive a palette you have. I've read where guys refuse to use fruitwood because they say it makes the meat too sweet. If they can taste that, you might be able to taste the boozewood. If you like oak to begin with, it is worth a try.
