This looks kinda cool but why not just add cubes or chips

because the wood lets O2 in, just putting oak chips in won't do that.

Mine is similar, not sure if you mean the dowel/chair leg method or Mikes actual contraption.

My beer has not come up out of the dowel, so I have not needed an airlock. And mine goes down into the beer so that the Brett can live in the wood, they like it there and get O2 in a similar way to a barrel.
