Product Information

In short, we recommend this product only if budget is your primary concern and you’re not concerned about customer support from the company or serious quality. If you can afford a better option from our list, go for that one instead. Once you factor in the price of accessories, the Homia Smoking Gun Wood Smoke Infuser Extended Plus Kit may even be a better deal overall. The Kaven Smoking Gun is listed here only as the best ultra-budget option, not because we love the product itself.

Here’s the longer, more detailed answer. Once you’ve decided on your smoking gun, you’ll be able to figure out which other items you need to buy (if any). Some kits come with just about everything you need, while others are only the smoker itself with no accessories. Here’s some guidance on each section to help you figure out what to get (if anything!). Versatile: It is important to invest in a product that features a multi-use design. This means that you can use it on various occasions and it can smoke both beverages and meals. Some models smoke and grill while others can only smoke. Get all the joys of smoky flavor without the need for a full-sized smoker (or the risk of adding just a couple drops too much liquid smoke and accidentally ruining your entire dish). The smoking gun offers a handheld alternative to traditional smoking methods. The cold smoke is easy to direct with the smoking tube, and can be added at any stage of a dish. With the smoking gun, it’s easy to control the intensity of the smoke flavour you’re adding. And for dramatic tableside presentation, fill an upturned glass, cloche or box with smoke, and lift it to reveal the almost magical smoke at the table.

Banana Tried To Give Police The Slip

This is a non-negotiable—you need wood chips to use your smoking gun! If yours already comes with wood chips, especially if it has several types, you may not need to buy these for now. Keep in mind that you use very few wood chips each time you light up the gun, so the small jars that typically come with smoking guns will actually last for a long time. A hint of smokiness can be the difference between “good” and “breathtaking” in certain dishes, but a full-sized smoker is impractical for many uses. Liquid smoke can work in some applications, but it’s painfully easy to use too much and end up with an inedibly acrid final dish. Fire source: do you have a lighter, or a utility lighter, or even matches at home? If so, you’re all set. If not, you’ll want to get one of those to light your smoking gun. Create elegant visual effects. After all, we eat with our eyes first, right? A smoke infuser lets you fill a cloche (or glass hood) with smoke before serving a dish, so it can dramatically float out as you or your guests lift the cloche off.

What sets some apart from others—besides quality, of course—is primarily whether you can control the airflow and smoke intensity. Your most basic smoking guns at the lower end of the price range typically don’t include this feature. As you move up in quality, some will offer two to three settings. COSTWAY 2-in-1 Food Smoker Gun, Professional Handheld USB Cold Smoking Infuser and Vacuum Function,...Size: If you are looking for the best smoker for your family, the smallest ones on the market will serve you best. The large ones are ideal for a party that will go all day long. Some of the products will let you know how much food they can smoke. No modern kitchen of a passionate home chef is complete without the ability to add smokiness to various dishes and drinks. Instead of relying on solutions like adding smoked paprika to everything or trying to drip in just the right amount of liquid smoke, invest in a smoking gun. The variety of woods available for smoking (each of which has its own unique flavor) means that a smoking gun will open up thousands of doors for new experiments. We’ve reached out to the company and been informed that the vacuum pump works with other bags, including Ziploc brand bags as well as bags specifically made for sous vide cooking. In other words, it’s not limited to a certain type of bag such as the ones included with the smoker gun.
