Sorry if I missed a discussion about this somewhere else... But has anyone tried these instead if regular oak chips? Results? Thanks!
 
NO! Don't do it! I ruined a pefectly good batch of beer with those! Extremely strong flavor. If you want a whiskey taste, just drink some good bourbon.

Not sure what I was thinking or drinking when I tried it.
 
I would recommend that instead of the JD chips, which could be red oak as well, go to a local lumber mill and ask to get the trimmings from a white oak run. Make certain they know positively it is white oak. Then toast your own. I have been doing that for a year + with really good results.

When the smoke alarm goes off the oak is done toasting.
