Don't know if this counts or not....but the latest brew kit I got (blind pig ipa) calls for 1 oz of oak chips and hops to be put in the primary fermenter, as well as another oz in the dry hop bag inside of the keg (along with another 2 oz of hops). Never done this before but I think the craft beer movement is moving towards ageing their beers inside of different types of used liquor barrels. Along with chips which provide a more instant wood taste there are staves which provide another layer of wood taste but take much longer to impart that flavor to the beer. My thinking is that if you use both you would have a more multidimensional wood taste more like if you had the means to age in an actual barrel.
