PolyScience The Smoking Gun Product Review

smoking gunBBQ purists don’t get mad… we won’t argue that traditional low and slow smoking is the BEST way to go when looking for succulent – championship – style ribs, brisket, and chicken.   But hey this is http://bbq.backstage.gq and we love a cool kitchen or grilling gadget.  So we couldn’t resist giving PolyScience The Smoking Gun Handheld Food Smoker a quick trial run.

I actually received the gun as a Christmas gift and have been dreaming up all sorts of ways to use it.  The compact battery operated (four AA) squirt gun sized piston works as promised. Spitting out a heavy stream of your favorite airborne hardwood.  The gadget uses surprisingly little wood dust and the BBQ Smoking wood flavors are fairly plentiful.

I think it would be pretty easy to set off smoke alarms with the gun so use caution in the kitchen (check out the cloud I made in the video).

smoking gun bbq videoI still want to try a blast or two of smoke in the slow cooker but have played with a few other dishes including chicken in the oil-less fryer (smoke dissipates instantaneously: FAIL).   In the video here I attempt to make a smoke infused coffee (I wanted to call it a SMOchacchino) but the smoke did not seem to penetrate the liquid dispite the nifty hose forcing the smoke bubble into the top of the brew. I’ll try smoking the steamed milk next time with hopes the fat or milk will give the smoke something to bond to.  Stay tuned.

Cheese worked brilliantly.

Do you have suggestions of a food that would be better with smoke?  Feel free to share it in the comments.
