promotional labels from the Smoking Gun™.
Wipe the burn chamber and mesh filter with a
damp cloth.
OPERATION

To smoulder the
wood chips and
generate smoke.
3. Use a handheld lighter or match to apply a
flame to the top surface of the wood chips.
Move the flame around to ignite the entire
exposed surface. For best results make sure
the burning area is evenly distributed
or centred.

=
High Speed
WARNING
• Do not use a kitchen torch or butane torch
style lighter.
• Maintain the presence of the lighter for a
period of time sufficient to start ignition only.
Excessive heat may cause damage to the unit.
4. Once the smoke is seen exiting the end of
the hose, depress the top of the switch to
maintain the fan on low speed (designated
by 1 line – ). Allow the wood chips to
smoulder and direct the smoke to where
required (see Tips page 9).
5. When sufficient smoke has been generated
or wood chips are extinguished, return the
switch the central position to turn the fan
off (designated by a circle O).
6. Allow the unit to cool completely after
burning has completed.
7. When cooled completely the burn chamber
can be removed by pulling it free of
the barrel.
NOTE

Tips
• To provide smoke flavour and aroma for
meats, fish, fruits, or vegetables after cooking,
simply place the food in a covered casserole,
stockpot, Dutch oven, or other covered dish/
pan and inject smoke under the lid.(See
below table for smoking techniques. See
recipe cards included separately for more
ideas and details.)
• To enhance the presentation of a finished
dish, add a hint of smoke under a domed
plate cover.
• Use the Smoking Gun™ to infuse delicate
foods, such as cheeses and vegetables, with
smoky flavour and aroma without changing
their texture.
• One to three minutes under smoke is
generally all that is needed to infuse foods
with a smoky flavour and aroma. When using
the Smoking Gun™ with a covered receptacle,
simply inject the smoke under the lid and let
stand for a few minutes.
TECHNIQUES
• Don't place hose directly in the food. Place it
just slightly above.
• Continuous smoking with the Smoking
Gun™ is NOT required.
• Ensure the unit has had sufficient time to cool
before reloading and operating additional
burn cycles if required.
• Hickory chips impart a pungent, smoky
bacon-like flavour that goes particularly
well with most meats, especially pork (ham,
ribs, etc.) and beef. They are good for most
vegetables because they impart a strong
earthy flavour.
• Applewood chips work well with poultry,
game birds and pork. These woods provide
a slightly sweet but denser, fruity smoke
flavour.
• Use wood chips that have been specifically
prepared for the purpose of smoking - these
timbers will have been dried to the correct
level and will produce less resinous materials
in the smoke output from the unit.
CONTAINER
OR BAG
TABLESIDE 1. Plate food for serving.
STAND MIXER 1. Whip or beat food in a stand mixer.
SHAKER 1. Prepare beverage.
1. When smoking cooked foods, apply smoke after cooking.

2. Hold drinking glass upside down and fill with smoke.
3. Place glass over food and let smoke absorb while serving.
4. Lift glass at table in front of your guests.
2. Spread food evenly on mixing bowl walls for maximum surface area.
