Breville Smoking Gun handheld food & cocktail smoker — Silver, battery-powered, 2 smoke settings

The Breville BSM600SIL Smoking Gun is a handheld cold smoker that gently infuses foods and drinks with natural smoke flavor using controllable applewood or hickory chips.

This compact, battery-powered smoking tool brings smokehouse flavor into home kitchens and bars without heat. Designed for precision, it pumps cool smoke through a silicone tube so you can flavor delicate items—cheese, butter, cocktails, even ice cream—or add a finishing touch to meats and fish. Two settings, removable parts, and included accessories make it easy to operate and maintain.

How do I add smoke to delicate foods and cocktails?

The Breville Smoking Gun uses cold smoke to transfer flavor without raising the food’s temperature. This preserves textures and prevents melting or cooking while delivering controlled smoky notes that suit mixology and finishing techniques.

• Two intensity settings: Gentle for subtle aroma, Intense for deeper, woody flavor.
• Silicone smoke tube for directed application into glasses, containers, or under domes.
• Cold smoke method prevents heat damage to ice cream, butter, and soft cheeses.

What comes in the box and how easy is it to use?

The unit ships ready to run with a handful of practical extras so you can start experimenting right away. Assembly and operation are straightforward: load wood chips into the burn chamber, attach the tube, and choose your smoke setting.

• Included: two mesh filters, two wood chip samples (Hickory and Applewood), four AA batteries, recipe cards, and an instruction booklet.
• Removable burn chamber with wide opening makes loading and cleaning simple.
• Battery-powered (4x AA) for cordless use and flexible placement.

How do I clean and maintain the smoker?

Maintenance is minimal thanks to a detachable burn chamber and washable silicone tube. Regularly replace mesh filters and empty ash to keep airflow consistent and flavor pure.

• Remove and brush out the burn chamber after use; large opening eases access.
• Wash the silicone tube and wipe external surfaces with a damp cloth.
• Replace included filters as needed and keep spare woodchip packs on hand (sold separately).

How intense is the smoke and what wood chips can I use?

The Smoking Gun gives you two selectable intensity levels so you control how pronounced the smoky note becomes. Use the supplied applewood or hickory chips for classic profiles, or explore other food-grade wood chips to tailor aroma and character.

• Gentle setting for light, aromatic finishes ideal for cocktails and delicate foods.
• Intense for richer, more pronounced smoke suited to stronger cheeses and meats.
• Compatible with a variety of culinary wood chips; accessory packs available separately.

Who is this for? Home cooks, cocktail enthusiasts, and small-scale caterers who want to add handcrafted smoky accents without a full smoker will appreciate the Breville BSM600SIL. It’s particularly useful for people who want precision smoke on plated dishes, finishing touches to drinks, or gentle flavoring of temperature-sensitive items. If you value control, portability, and easy cleanup, this handheld smoker is built to expand your flavor toolkit.
