Was re-reading the "Smoked Beers" book that Ray Daniels and Geoff Larson wrote, and they mentioned that one wood that used to be used occassionally in smoking malt was oak. As it happens, I've got a chunk of oak left over from a project that's not really big enough to use on any NEW projects, that I could easily make into chips for smoking - but I have no idea what kind of character oak chips would impart when smoked. Not a wood that you ever hear about anyone using.
Anyone have any idea? Anyone ever use oak chips/chunks for smoking before?
