TikatonCocktail Smoker, Wood Chips Smoke Infuser, Smoking Gun Food Smoker, Portable Cold Smoke Generator for Drinks and Food, Gifts for Men Dad, Mom, Husband, and Cooking Enthusiast

This is a great product. I like that it can be used for smoking whisky (which is what we got it for - as a present to a whisky drinker) or that is can be used for smoking meat even. Just put some meat under an inverted glass bowl and impart some smoke through the hose. The chips that this comes with actually are of decent quality. I would have thought they would be low quality and stale, but they were decent. The construction is pretty sturdy despite there being a lot of plastic, but it is metal where it counts (like for the smoking chips). The hose is high quality and the box that it comes with is great for storage. This should last a long time. If you are on the fence, get this versatile little kitchen/bar gadget.

Good

Love that it was so easy to use. Wish the wood chips were much finer but I can live with it.

This is a nice little smoker for craft cocktails or to add a smokey flavor to different foods. The unit requires batteries, which isn’t a huge deal, but you have to have a screwdriver on hand to install the batteries. Again, not that big of a deal, but it is kind of a pain, in my opinion. Also, as someone else mentioned, you either need a butane torch or lighter to get the wood chips lit. It does say that in the description, but I do agree that if you want to give this as a gift it is a little inconvenient not to have some sort of lighter or torch added to the set. That being said, the set is nice and comes in a nice box, so it would work well as a gift.Otherwise, with a little trial and error it’s a pretty good smoker. You can adjust the fan to adjust how much smoke it produces. I read that it is actually a better smoking experience if you have a smoker unit that contains the chips and uses a hose to impart the smoke like this set, rather than just putting a contraption over the glass, lighting the chips, and smoking them directly over the glass like other sets. I could definitely taste the smokey flavor in the whiskey when I have used it. The chips it comes with have been easy to light, and I have enjoyed the flavors it imparts into my whiskey. I would definitely recommend the set. And by the way, women like whiskey too, so it’s a good little set for either men or women.

In the search for a fun present for my bourbon drinking husband, I decided a smoker for his drinks would be fun. He opened it up, tossed in batteries and away he went. He found it is enjoyable to try different woods to give his old stand-by daily bourbons some extra flavor. Definitely money well spent considering this is less than most of the bottles he buys!

Purchased it as a gift and they love it. Easy to use

Smoked cocktails and smoke filled bubbles on top of cocktails are all the rage at our local bars and restaurants right now. Adding a bit of smoke to whiskey, a Manhattan, or an Old Fashioned is truly a wonderful way to enhance a drink. I wanted a way to do this at home, without paying the $20 a drink that is charged our bars, and decided this would be fun for our holiday gatherings.This smoker comes in a gift-worthy black box but needs batteries and a butane torch in order to use. Something to think about purchasing alongside this item if you don’t already have them handy.When starting out, I would recommend using your lower end whiskey to experiment with your smoke-to-glass ratio. If you add too much smoke for too long, you end up with a burnt taste.I chose the gun and tube model over the cocktail smokers that sit on top of a glass because I wanted to also try smoking cheese, fish, desserts, etc. and this can easily be accomplished using lids, foil, food wraps, etc. or, if you really want to commit, you could always purchase a glass smoking dome.Overall, I am extremely happy and look forward to making drinks for friends and family into the New Year.

The media could not be loaded. Tikaton brand of a handheld food smoker for drinks or food smoke infusion.Included with the smoking gun are 4 wood chip containers of different flavors and the tube that inserts into the gun to direct the smoke. Also included is a small plastic circle with a port for the tub to fit in for the smoke to be used for small glass items like cocktails. There is also a plastic cup for mixing.The gun itself really works easily and well. The directions are clear and easy to understand. When it states use a small pinch of the wood smoke, use a very small pinch. You can always add more. You barely need to cover the bottom screen.The tube is a soft plastic and fits on a dome also. That is sold separately.The wood smoke should be done on fully cooked food to add a subtle flavoring. It really works! Very surprised on how it enhanced the meat that was grilled. Using this a lot more than we originally thought we would. Quick step for wood smoked flavor without the hours of smoking. No, it doesn’t have the same flavor as if you smoked pork for pulled pork sandwiches. But its a nice add on flavor when regular grilling that you can taste and is enjoyable. It makes a lot of smoke and should only be used outside.
