Whiskey Barrels Chopped for Wood Lump

john_aero · Apr 4, 2014

Ok,

So local garden supplier has oak whiskey barrels for sale.

Bushmills (localy irish) and Jack Daniels

I am tempted pick 1 up and chop it up into lumps for smoking

Anyone do this and do they work well.

I think would be nice but oak could be very strong

Also these are lovely barrel, be tempted get 2, chop one for lump and use other as a hot smoker

john_aero · Apr 4, 2014

ok for flavoring wood it would be fine

but dont think if it as a substitute for your heating fuel unless you are using a stickburner etc

john_aero · Apr 4, 2014

no sorry meant for smoke and flavour

just 6-10 chunks in with a basket of charcoal

if people want and i do buy one ill send some over

not sure if JD left may just be bushmills

You mean something like this? Hands down my favorite wood for shorter smokes, wonderful flavor and smell! I would jump on that barrel immediately!

Using bourbon oak chunks today on jerk chicken. Bet I paid way more for a small bag than you would get it for buying the whole barrel. So far I have used it for ribs, burgers and pork souvlaki and all tasted a little like bourbon. If it were me I'd buy as much as I could afford and store.

drumdawg67 · Apr 4, 2014

Heck yeah. Have been wanting to try that myself. I say jump on it.

john_aero · Apr 4, 2014

jestridge · Apr 9, 2014

How much you pay for the barrel?

john_aero · Apr 9, 2014

60 euro or about 80 dollars

its about average for them here

john_aero · Apr 10, 2014

Here we go

My lord the smell is out of this world the whole garden smells of whiskey

Fishhook · Apr 10, 2014

achi wa wa ...thats some expensive smoking wood.....

john_aero · Apr 10, 2014

Yes but bag wood chips is about 10e here

So in long run its cheaper

But still smoking here is very expensive as bot popular

Irish ppl class bbq as load heat an flames, fire on load burgers and sausages and end up with burn outdide raw in middle

I am beginner smoker and anyone tastes propper bbq cant get over the flavour and end up learni g how bbq properly

But yes was very expensive wood

More when dad loves smell he took few staves
