LeadDog Posted March 3, 2007 Report 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? Quote
blterman Posted March 7, 2007 Report 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
LeadDog Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report 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.

Curly Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 I can almost smell em. I'll bet they work fantastic...wish I lived near Quote
LeadDog Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Posted March 7, 2007 Curly UPS goes all over the world. You want me to ship you a bundle? Quote
blterman Posted April 2, 2007 Report 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. Quote
