Cocktail Smoker Kit - Indoor Drink & Food Infuser with Wood Chips | Old Fashioned Whiskey Bourbon Smoker Gift

Update:Check your spam folder after you order. The company sends out instructions that are better than the printed ones in the box. I messed up and let this run too long. I melted the plastic straw. Quite fortunately, Gramercy has top notch customer service and sent me a whole new smoker at no cost.Love this little smoker! Last year we went to a super fancy (expensive) restaurant on Nantucket. They brought the bread out with these little balls of butter. It was smoked butter and I swear I've never had anything so amazing in my life! Seriously, we've been talking about this butter for a year now.I was going to get one of those big smokers but there isn't much room in the yard. This was a perfect solution. We tried this out last night with a regular, store bought stick of butter. It took a few minutes to get it going and to get the smoke to fill the pot. But once we got the wood chips going, everything ran smoothly. We let it run for about 10 minutes and ended up with perfectly smoked butter.The instructions are a bit lacking. The battery setup is weird and the compartment for the wood chips is tiny. We probably spent more time looking for the tiniest chips we could find than doing the actual smoking.Overall, this is a good little gadget to have around if you don't feel like investing in a big smoker or if you don't have the space.

I got this for my partner for Christmas for smoking cocktails, and we love it! It was a very nice inexpensive option for us, but it still works really well. I'm not sure what flavor/scent of wood chip comes with it -- I think maybe hickory, but I can't recall -- but it does come with a nice little pouch of chips to get you started. We burned through those pretty quickly; I'd definitely recommend getting a set of wood chips along with it at the beginning. (We got Breville's set of mesquite, hickory, applewood, and cherrywood, and that's been awesome for this.)It imparts really lovely flavors to our cocktails (and just straight up bourbon or rye, unsurprisingly) in about a minute, and is so easy to clean up. Part of the clean-up that I'd wish I known at the beginning is that you should remove the head of smoker, where the chip basket is, and clean off the smoky-scented oil that deposits there after you use it. I have a little brown oil stain in my drawer now after not having known about this. But it does come with a little velvet pouch, so if you stored it in there, there would be no issue, I would guess.One other thing we discovered is that this does not light easily with just a match. Fortunately, I have a little butane torch for baking, and that works great with this.

Last Update to 5 stars- it is now 2025 and after the company sent me the new unit- this think is still smoking beautifully. Long story short, I don’t think you can go wrong- if the unit you receive doesn’t work, the company will replace it. From my experience, a working unit will bring you many years of smoky joy.I have updated my original review to three stars. After posting the below, I was immediately contacted by the company and within days received a new smoker. While I would classify the response and customer service of this most recent interaction to be 5 stars, it is more important to me that the product is of good quality. I would like to be able to update this review again in 6 months (when then the smoker is still working as it should) to 5 stars. I am open to the thought that the previous unit was an anomaly...here's to hoping!!Original Review (1 star): BUYER BEWARE! Only works for a short time! Bought as gift and now embarrassed!I bought this smoker as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. It worked well for a couple months but it is now it is completely useless. If you want a product that lasts longer than four months- buy a different smoker. The others who posted reviews must be in the first months of use. BUYER BEWARE- THIS PRODUCT IS NOT BUILT TO LAST.

Works as described so far, good amount of smoke, chips burn very quickly but i suppose thats to be expected. The detatchable part will have to be cleaned as tar buildup will become an issue at some point.With that said, it can definitely be used for other purposes besides food and drinks. Be sure to use quality batteries, dont rely on cheap crappy ones that might leak. And lastly, be careful after every use as the part that holds the chips gets very hot and CAN burn you if you accidently touch it, handle with care.

Talk about making a bourbon experience 10x better!Delicious, easy and so worth it!Perfect gift for a bourbon drinker!It comes with what we believe is hickory chips. Most large liquor retail stores carry at least one type of chips.Extremely happy with this purchase.You will need a lighter to get the chips lit, this vacuums the flame and immediately produces smoke through the tube and into the glass.You can dome the smoke over salmon or other goods as well.

This is a simple hand smoker. It is not intended for heavy duty work, but for adding smoke flavor to cocktails or a little edge on already roasted or steamed fruits or veggies, this is the perfect tool. I borrowed a friend's Breville model before I bought this one to make sure a smoking gun was what I really needed/ wanted for the applications I was attempting. This much less expensive model worked as well as the Breville with most wood chips, and better than the Breville with certain wood chips. I have used apple, hickory, peach, and pecan chips all with good levels of success.I have used chips made especially for smoking guns, and fine chips intended for outdoor smokers both with success.It takes just a little practice to seal up your container properly to achieve maximum smoke flavor. I love the compact size and the convenient storage bag.If you have a foodie on your list and don't know what to get them, this is a fun and unique gift to give. Be sure to start them off with some different flavor smoking chips as well.
