Default 20L French barrel

Hi,

I received a 20L wine barrel as a gift & plan to use it soon. It's
just like this one:

http://morewinemaking.com/view_produ...3d03d17fcfeb3d

It came with a wooden spigot and spigot hole pre-drilled. Has anyone
used one of these wooden spigots?

Is it safe or could I come home to find a big ol' puddle of wine?

Seems like you have to hammer it in but I wouldn't know how hard etc.
Am I better off plugging the spigot hole with a cork and just
siphoning out of the bung hole? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thx,

Ange
