I just used up the last of my box of Jim Beam pucks.  They fine, but I don't know if I can see any difference between them and oak.  They burn just like oak pucks, only partially, in my smoker every time.  That why I don't like them as much, seems like a waste when they only 2/3 burn all the time.

I use them when I do sausage's I like the flavor.

I generally will use them on brisket and/or chuck, as I do with oak. Right out of the package, the two smell differently, but I can't distinguish much difference after the smoke has been applied. Maybe if I try oak and Jim Beam on chicken, fish or pork, I may be able to tell the difference.

Coincidentally, I used them on my jerky yesterday. MUCH better than the hickory or mesquite IMO. Not overpowering, just right. I'm very pleased with them. They're very hard to find here.

I use JB on salmon belly. You have to try it to appreciate the difference over Oak. Also, I used to use Crown Royal, but when that became extinct that's when I moved to JB. Turned out the CR was insipid in comparison.... (and as a Canadian I love rye but not corn).

  I have not tried JB bisquettes, & I believe they are from white oak. That is what most whiskey & wine barrels are made from. Red oak is different in color & texture, but don't know about smoke flavor.

I am planning to use JB for the first time with bacon next weekend. I will let you know my results!

Since the Jim Beam has gone the way of the buffalo around here I have gotten to really like the whisky oak pucks

[Smokeville]

JB is great on salmon belly.

I've been trying to find the JB or whiskey oak pucks but having a hard time. Seems most places are out of stock. The few sites I can find, the prices are super inflated.

I haven't used them but I did see them at Cabela's and I think the price was the same as all the other woods. If you don't live near a Cabela's you can go to their website cabelas.com and order them online, I don't think the shipping would be bad.

Thanks for the tip. I looked at Bass Pro and Gander but not Cabelas. They had whiskey oak in stock!
