This cocktail smoker kit is built around a wine-barrel-shaped wooden smoker top that sits over a rocks glass while wood chips smolder above a metal filter. The set includes the torch, the smoker lid, filters, and multiple wood chip varieties, packed in a gift box. The mechanic is simple: load chips into the filter, hit them with the torch for a few seconds, invert over the glass, and let the smoke settle into the drink for about thirty seconds before serving. Different woods give noticeably different results, with apple and cherry reading sweeter and hickory or oak going heavier. Best fit: home bars, and gift lists for the person who already owns good bourbon and nothing to do with it.
Pros
- Wine barrel shaped smoker top looks like bar equipment instead of a plywood disc
- Ships in a gift box, so it needs no wrapping for a birthday or holiday
- Multiple wood chip varieties included, and they taste genuinely different from each other
- Torch and filters are in the box, so nothing else is needed except butane
Cons
- Butane is not included and cannot ship with the kit, so budget a separate canister
Frequently asked questions
Does the kit include butane for the torch?
No. Butane cannot be shipped with the kit, so you will need to buy a canister separately. Any standard butane refill for culinary torches works.
How long does the smoking take per drink?
Roughly ten seconds to light the chips and thirty seconds for the smoke to settle into the glass. Call it under a minute per drink once you have the rhythm.
Can I use it on things other than whiskey?
Yes. The same smoker top works over cocktails, and people use it over cheese, butter, and small plates of food set under the lid.
Do the wood chips run out quickly?
Each drink uses a small pinch. The included chip supply covers dozens of drinks. Refill chips are widely available and inexpensive when you run through them.
