Does soaking wood in different flavors actual work, like soaking in wine or jack daniels, or is it just a gimmick?

Crawdad, I would say that it does. To what extent, I don't know. I will tell you this. I refuse to use Jack Daniels pellets or soaked chips, etc. I love the whiskey, I dang sure don't care for the taste or smell it imparts to the meat I'm cooking. I've not tried wine, so I can't speak to that.

I agree but the big question is does it taste like what you soaked the wood in
