Oak dominos or mini staves are basically a bigger version of oak chips. They are made from old oak barrels and used for oaking rums, whiskeys etc. the super lefort ones are a high quality excellent product. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Flame,

if you add your location I'm sure someone can advise good pricing and /types etc in your area.

A better idea would be to contact the bloke here who has out layed his own money just to try and give something back to the community. Now that would be helping a fellow member rather than steering him away from a group buy ;-)

The mini-staves here are the "dominos" being talked about :handgestures-thumbupleft:

These are oak dominoes or mini staves, these particular ones are from the kiwiland groupbuy.
They are new toasted oak as used by wine industry and sh!t all over HBS recycled oak chips.

Can you re use chips or dominos?

by **SBB** » Mon May 05, 2014 8:45 am

In my opinion Dominos will give a far better result that the HBS chips.

Yep, I have reused up to about 3 times. Then they go through the chipper and in the smoker :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Then?? Do the chips have a limit too?

Chips are a totally inferior product, hbs shops should hang their heads in shame for peddling scrappy oakchips to a uninformed public when a superior foodgrade product like dominoes are available..... But I did used to get about 3 uses out of oak chips.
