I have found it hard to find oak or maple in Australia and was wondering if I could use smoking chips from the bbq store for aging spirits
like this one?

Re: aging wood.
I suppose so but where is Aus are you? Any home brew store shout stock staves or even better an ageing barrel. Or go online. Kegland

Re: aging wood.
Oak chips and nut wood chips are fine, don't use the fruit wood chips as these are from trees that have been sprayed with pesticides multiple times a year, not good for your health in the long run.
Do a lot of reading on how to use the chips and how much to use...staves are available on line but they do cost some coin...Good luck
