i used a lot of chared with torch sticks but now id like to try some toasted wood.

Now I'm experimenting with a longer toast (3 hrs), to see what happens.

Worth a try (maybe??)

I toasted some oak in the kitchen oven, it smokes the house out, left a toasted oak smell for hours.

I soak mine for a day or so then wrap in foil and place in the oven for and hour or so.
Then I alligator char when I'm ready to install in to the likker.

Can't exactly remember why I do this.
