PolyScience The Smoking Gun Portable Food Smoker



MAKES A GREAT SMOKY OL' FASHIONED!!!
All I can say is awesome...I originally saw the smoking gun after going to a bar in Manchester, England, called the Alchemist...they had a drink on the menu called the smoky ol' fashioned (and there are cool videos on youtube on how to make the drink)...best infused bourbon i've ever had, and had to get the gun when I got home...One of the best investments ever!!! Recreated the drink and very happy!!! Also, have been smoking burgers before putting them on the grill...awesome!!! The Camerons Smoking chips works well with the gun...i got the 8 pack (pints) for like $28, and it should last a long time!!!

Great way to quick smoke
Picked this up a couple weeks ago. Several other chefs I know use it, and I picked one up looking for a quick and easy way to smoke small amounts of food. I've used it a handful of times (including doing 3 dozen wings for the Super Bowl, and 6 pork chops earlier tonight). Works excellent for these. I wouldn't try to smoke a whole brisket or anything, though.

Very easy to use and to maintain. Definitely recommend it.

A great device and a good customer experience
This is a lovely device, but I will not wax eloquent about the uses to which I have put it because other reviewers seem to have been more adept and imaginative than I--not unexpected for a man less than a genius in the kitchen. Suffice it to say that I have smoked almonds, cheese, sea salt, and a couple other things, with good success.

Where I will add a kudo is for the company behind the product. My Smoking Gun came with a faulty switch: sometimes the fan did not come on, other times it would, and I thought it was simply a matter of weak (?) batteries or smutz on the terminals. But no: the switch eventually failed completely about three days after the warranty expired.

Nevertheless, I called the company and talked to a nice gentleman who cut me some slack: they would send me a new one and a box to return the old one. The new one works perfectly. They went the extra mile for me, that's worth a lot, and I'd like to point that out in public. Nicely done,...
