There is a lot of discussion on it but it is spread out a fair bit. I searched toasting oak and it came up with quite a few you might want to have a scroll through. I found this one that has the diagram I was thinking of that might help.

There is differently a difference between toasting think of as in an oven and charring involving the use of flame gas torch or setting alight.
Have you ever had a steak cooked on a wood-fired bbq/grill and then noticed that there is a whole lot more flavor wise, going on as opposed to cooking it in a pan on the stove?
and then to make it even more interesting both give different results at levels of char or toasting

Toasting is where the flavor is. Can't live without it. :handgestures-thumbupleft: my standard has come to be a white oak wrapped in foil and kept in a hot oven 375F until nearly a milk chocolate brown. You'll know it's right when the whole damned kitchen smells like vanilla..

Rums age well in old bourbon barrels, and many bourbon barrels are charred.
So you have that choice as well.
