Used oak chunks?

So what does everyone do with their heavily soaked oak chunks, do they put them in the smoker and turn some shitty fish into a flavoured salmobourbon?
Or is there a recycle method or burn baby burn?
I have had some American bourbon essence on chips for 5 weeks, the flavour is just awesome, nothing quite like I've tasted anywhere else.Its a close cousin to a slightly woodier and older Jim B or a younger makers with a definite hint of caramel - tbh, I'm rather surprised. You could easily drink this straight at 42%. I don't want to over oak the amount I have and it's currently very, very dark in colour.
So that gives me a load of used chunks, thus the question, what does everyone do with their used timber?

Cheers
Si

I use my toasted dominoes, then char them and use them again :handgestures-thumbupleft:

After the second use they go into the smoker ;-)
