This whiskey smoker kit lays a wood-chip tray over a rocks glass, you light it with the included butane-free torch, and the cocktail under the cover catches a thin layer of oak, hickory, apple, cherry, pecan, or maple smoke in about 60 seconds. The kit ships with six wood-chip tins, two heavy-bottom rocks glasses, two silicone sphere-ice molds, and a felt-lined wooden gift box. Butane is not included (TSA reasons). Best fit: old-fashioned drinkers, gift-giving for a friend who already owns nice bourbon, and the cocktail enthusiast who wants the dinner-party theatrics without buying a $200 smoking gun.
Pros
- Six different wood flavors come in the box, so you can match the chip to the spirit
- The sphere ice molds and felt-lined gift box make it presentable as a gift without extra wrapping
- Torch ships in the box (just bring your own butane)
Cons
- Butane fuel for the torch is not included and has to be bought separately at a smoke shop or hardware store
Frequently asked questions
Does the kit come with butane for the torch?
No. The torch ships empty for shipping safety. You'll need to buy butane fuel separately.
How long does one wood chip session take?
About 60 to 90 seconds. You load chips on the wire mesh, torch them until they smolder, and cover the glass for a minute or two to let the smoke infuse.
Can I use this with non-whiskey drinks?
Yes. The same smoke technique works on margaritas, Manhattans, mezcal cocktails, and even hot drinks like Irish coffee.
How many chip tins do you go through?
Each tin holds enough for roughly 25 to 30 smoking sessions, so the six included tins last most users 6 to 12 months of casual use.
