Adding Oak Flavor/character to beer

Short of buying an oak barrel, what forms of oak are available to the homebrewer for getting oak into yuor beer?

Are they available with different levels of toast? Are some forms easier to sanitize that others? Do some take more time or less time to get flavor?

  • Oak Chips
