Default Soaking wood in alcohol?

I was just sitting here having a nice cold capt & coke and in my brainstorming session I was thinking about soaking some wood chips in J.D or another whiskey. What do you all think, think it will soak up any of the whiskey and give off a good smell? I have never wasted J.D in that manner as that would be alcohol abuse and that's just against the law !

I have a couple bags of JD oak chips that I use with the gas grill and they are great.

Liquid JD is best used to lubricate the grill master and is great also.

Put equal parts of Captain and apple juice in your spray bottle. When ever you open the lid give the meat a few squirts, when you close the lid give the cook a few squirts.

Works very well!

I say give it a try, I am thinking you may need to choose the right wood to start.

If I was to soak the chips inthe JD, I'd probably still drink the result...

I was unaware that they made chips out of whiskey barrels. Awesome. Know of any place that might carry them? Or is it just an innernet type thing? I think I might try the app/jd spray seemings I made a JD bbq sauce (no where close to comm. brand might I add) the next time I put some ribs on. But I'm putting some chix on tonight I am trying a lime/corona spritz my neighbor uses when he makes tacos so I will see how that goes. I really don't want to be standing over the smoker and spray alcohol on it, I'm losing my hair enough I don't need any help!

I agree with wally world. Usually in black bags.

To paraphrase the late, great Justin Wilson: "Put a little spritz on da meat... put a little spritz in da cook... put a little more spritz in da cook..."

I've soaked wood chips with cheap bourbon (not as sacrilious) and it works well. I like the spritz idea better though. Gonna try that next time.
