Chips are not the same as spirals. Their flavor is less complex and imparts sooner.

Are better. Your chips will work fine.
I used oak spirals. You just put in one third of a spiral per gallon for 5 weeks.
even cheaper is wood spirals. It doesn't look as cool as a barrel, but the results are still incredibly solid. I occasionally age the spirits for a last word with wood and add the lime after the aging process. It's... insanely good.
I would def test the beer often.... it's very easy to ruin a beer. I did an imperial with this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013S28UC6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1463523514&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=oak+brewing ....for 3 days and it's border line for me.
You could give it a try, though oak barrels are usually roasted before they're used for wine.
I like to use these spirals. One spiral is intended to be enough for a 6 gallon batch, so I just break them up into 5 pieces or so. Just soak them in some no-rinse sanitizer for a minute, then drop them into your wine for somewhere between 1 and 6 weeks
