Tonight, I tried some of the oak wine barrel splits that swamprb was cool enough to send my way. Thanks again, by the way.

It was a real smooth smoke flavor, with a mellow back flavor. All I seasoned the country ribs with was sea salt and pepper. I've only used oak on beef. And I've never had wine barrel oak. Well, now the door has been opened.....

The woods got a "smoke" ring even before you fire it up. It all looks really good.

I know, I thought it was cedar at first glance, then the aroma caught up to me....
 
Oh that's gotta be good and at 8:30 AM it's even better!
 
I chipped up some of those a couple of weeks ago for Friday Night Steak Night...good stuff! :p
 
Those look great. Bet the smell of that smoke was really good.
 
I wonder if you could soak some oak splits in wine, if you could get the same effect?????

- Maybe, but ya gonna remember that wine barrels have had wine in them several times (~3-4) for anywhere from 4-6 months at a time. Another hobby of mine, home winemaking.
