Breville Smoking Gun and Cloche

Yes, the Smoking Gun is designed for indoor use. It produces a small, controlled amount of smoke that is generally safe for home kitchens, though it is always wise to use your range hood or keep a window open just in case.

No, the cold smoke system is designed specifically to infuse flavor without adding heat. This makes it safe to use on delicate items like ice cream, butter, oysters, and cocktails without melting or cooking them.

You can use any fine-cut wood chips, dried herbs, spices, or even tea leaves. For the best results, ensure the material is dry and finely ground so it ignites easily in the burn chamber.

Cleaning is straightforward because the burn chamber is removable. You can simply wipe out the chamber and the mesh filter after each use to prevent residue buildup and ensure the device continues to function properly.

While the gun works on its own by directing smoke into a covered bowl or container, the included cloche is highly recommended. It creates a sealed environment that traps the smoke effectively, ensuring a much stronger and more consistent flavor infusion.

The device runs on 4 AA batteries. While exact battery life depends on the frequency of use and the intensity settings, the unit is energy-efficient and designed to last through many smoking sessions before needing a fresh batteries.
