Cocktail Smoker Kit, Old Fashioned Smoker Kit for Bourbon Whiskey Drink, Smoker Infuser Kit with 4 Flavors Wood Chips, Birthday Father's Day Gifts for Husband, Men, Dad

Ever since having my first smoked Old Fashioned a couple weeks ago, I've been researching cocktail smoker kits. I already owned a torch, so all I needed was this kit. It came in a nice box, including the 4 different flavored wood shavings, 10 metal screens and a small brush. Some reviews mentioned that the chimney was coated in polyurethane (which would obviously give off a very bad smoke effect), but mine is not. It seems that the company now puts the finish on the product first, THEN drills out the chimney, so there's no finish on the inside of the chimney. The opening is 1" from the top down, but then narrows at the bottom so the screen can rest on the lip on the inside. When I made my first few smoked drinks, I was really impressed at how much smoke the unit created--to the point where it was pouring out the side vents cut in the underside of the smoker, and I was using a very large glass! The unit produced ample smoke with very little effort and using just a small pinch of wood shavings each time. Of course, you have to point the flame of the torch directly down into the chimney and light all the shavings or it won't work. In my case, it worked like a CHARM, and the smoky flavor lingered for a long time after the smoke itself cleared, especially because I had added garnish to the glass before smoking it. It's exactly the effect that I bought this thing for. I've only used the "Whisky Oak" wood shavings so far, but I'm sure that won't matter too much. Bottom line is that this unit is well-made, works great, is half the price of the other one I was considering, and I'm super happy with my purchase. I will be giving this as a gift to all my Bourbon-loving friends until they all have one. Oh, and one other tip: If you're making a smoked Old Fashioned, try using pure maple syrup in place of sugar. Wow, what a drink. I'll need to limit myself to one every 3rd or 4th day--they are THAT good.

This cocktail smoker works really well with a butane kitchen torch. I am not sure if you can tell the difference between the types of wood that come with it, but it does give the cocktail a smoky flavor. I tried using it with a match or lighter, and you really need the butane torch for any of these (regardless of brand) to work.

I bought this as a backup to my other smoker. It works decently, but it does not come with any sort of metal dish or protector to protect the smoker itself from charing. I can tell this smoker will have a very limited lifespan, but it was cheap. The woodchip packs are a definite plus.

This item was amazing! Great smoke quality and easy to clean! Flavor to drink was very satisfying!

Bought this for a birthday gift and he loved it! Works very well.

There's some kind of lacquer finish on the wood which if burnt I'm sure would to create some toxic fumes. The torch looks nice but I haven't tried it.Unfortunately it says I cannot return this item, which I don't understand.I find it difficult to search to see if an item is made in China only to find out it obviously is.

Easy to use. Great design. Good quality material. The flavors are all great. They smoke nicely and smell great!Definitely going to order more to gift to friends. Worth the money.

During a dinner with my wife, we asked the waiter how a smoked cocktail was made. The waiter kindly showed us the secret, and we were impressed with the overall experience.His certainly had some wear and tear I'm sure there must be some better wood chip holders out there so I consider this a great value purchase.I especially liked the torch, which my wife now uses to light candles. We've only used the smoker once, but I was pleasantly surprised by how the woodsmoke flowed down into the cold glass and a delicious smoke flavor testing on a Jameson over ice.Overall I'm very pleased with the quality will probably only use it once or twice entertaining.*Note as expected it did not come filled with any butane so you have to buy that. Luckily we had one on hand.**The only issue I encountered was that the smoker was damaged during shipping.
