LeadDog Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Ok finally we are taking the oak staves out of the tanks at work. I have a bundle of staves from a red wine tank and a bundle of staves from a white wine tank. Anyone want to test this wood to see if it is good for smoke or what ever?

blterman Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'll try I'm waiting delivery of our new KK. Of course, as a wine lover and oak chip user, I think this is a no brainer. Wine and oak, both in one! I'd love to try. I can come up to PR (I live in Orange). Or, what do you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadDog Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yes of course you can come up to Paso Robles. Where you planning on coming up for Zinfest, March 16-18? http://www.pasowine.com/events/zinfandelfestival.php I was actually thinking of shipping them to who ever wanted to test them out as I have not used oak chips or anything like that.

blterman Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Will try staves soon... Thanks for the red wine staves, Leaddog. Sorry for the delayed response. We uncrated the KK this weekend, and have had two initial grills. After I figure out how to control for temps, smoking, etc., I'm thinking I might do multiple tests with staves. I'll try dry, presoaked, early and late addition to cooker. Not sure what flavor to expect from oak, but I'll give you my take on it.
