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.

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.

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.

Item is great. My husband lives to make smoked old fashioned.

The media could not be loaded. This was a great birthday gift for my husband. He loves making old fashions and loves to order them in restaurants when they give a smoke show. The price was extremely reasonable. Finding butane and filling it was easy and lasts a long time. The different types of wood are great for experimenting with different types of bourbon. The smoke stays in the glass for quite a while and the distinctive flavor stays in the cocktail for the entirety of the drink. It's a great gift.

My husband loves this! Johnny walker red is a good whiskey to use with it. I tried the apple and smoked some hornitos, it was actually really good too. Im not disappointed at all with my purchase and would definitely suggest this to a whiskey drinker :)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Either the wood is not dry enough or the product is defective. Wood is not lighting up.

Smoked bourbon is so much better than regular- used for old fashioneds & I prefer them so much that I rarely have them without the smoke. Easy to use & all 4 wood chips are nice.
