I was looking for a smoking gun, and considered the many less expensive units that included accessories. I read the reviews on all of them, and decided on the Breville Commercial smoking gun. We have a number of Breville appliances and have never been disappointed with any of them. Although the final decision on appliance purchases is mine, I discussed purchasing this more expensive smoking gun with my husband. We both agreed I should get this one rather than save money on a less expensive one that I would not be happy with.I smoke quite a lot of our meats in the summer to freeze and use during the winter months, but wanted a smoking gun primarily to add a smoke flavor to meats and fish for a single meal. Since we are used to meats smoked in an outdoor smoker, I still have a lot to learn about the uses of this smoking gun.So far, I have tried it on Sea Bass prior to baking it with steam to 130 degrees. The fish was very moist and did have a faint smoke flavor that was very good. I found out since that it may be better to use the smoking gun after cooking since cooking can lessen the smoke flavor. So, next time, I will use the smoking gun after I cook the fish while it is resting. I will be trying this smoking gun on steaks and will update the review with the results.I am happy that I purchased this smoking gun because:1) It was very easy to assemble using the provided instructions.2) It's easy to light and use.3) It produces a lot of smoke using very little wood chips which are provided.4) Cleaning it is easy by following the provided instructions.5) Considering my past experience, Breville support has been the best.6) This smoking gun is very well made and should last for years if properly cared for.I will update this review if my opinion changes. I hope this review was helpful for you.

Excellent!!!!

my old fashions are better than ever. I even did some bong hits out of it!!!lol

Easy to use and makes a lot of smoke. This is what the bartenders use in the World Class Bar on Celebrity Beyond cruise. I was very impressed then and now I’m a world class bartender too!

Great quality

The unit was promised in stock with 2 day delivery. It is Thursday ie 4 days later when the unit arrives. I guess no one keeps their word any more. Of note, this company elected to use AMAZON delivery which is currently grossly incompetent. That....does not however detract from the rating of the item, but needs to be born in mind if for example the item is supposedly a gift for someone else.This unit is very difficult to light. I ended up lighting a tea candle first then repeatedly taking flame from the candle to the unit using a wooden skewer. There was no desiccant pack added to the wood slivers when there should have been so that these would stay DRY. Put the wood slivers on a saucer and spray them with a spray or two of cooking oil. Dont get them soaking but just with some fuel on them to burn that is not damp wood slivers. Put the wood slivers in the appropriate place in the unit. The instructions say to only cover the mesh in the reservoir with the wood slivers. When I did as instructed, the unit did not work. A friend looked up what others were doing and they were filling the reservoir 1/2 to totally full. The wood slivers are not packed down but loosely added so that there are air pockets between the tiny wood pieces. If you use as little wood as the instructions say, then the wood is burned very quickly and essentially NO smoke goes down the hose and into your food.After you fill the wooden reservoir, wash and dry your hands. NEVER light a flame with any type of oil on your hands as it could ignite.You will need long wooden skewers OR a long lighter. DO NOT try to light this unit with simple matches. You could, but why do it this way when long wooden skewers or a long lighter are safer. Of those two methods I would suggest using a long lighter because then you dont have a flaming wooden skewer involved.I strongly suggest plastic wrap over the food and / or to have the food in some storage container. I placed the food in the bottom of a container with a click lock type lid AND covered the food with plastic wrap. You will be blowing smoke under the plastic wrap and then covering the click lock container with its lid and clicking it closed and sealed.This does generate a good deal of smoke if you use 1/2 to 1 times the reservoir area of wood slivers. Though it is said that you can do this in the house, I STRONGLY suggest you do this outside. Step out of your door for a moment and use this item. THINK carefully as to what you are standing on. IF smoldering ask gets blown from the unit if you overfilled it, it would be bad if a wooden deck is beneath your feet. Dont overfill the reservoir and dont stand on a wooden surface to do this.So your outside and your unit is lit. Smoke your food. Click that closed and carry it inside IMMEDIATELY. You dont need to attract animals to your smoked meat. After about 10 minutes, put it in the fridge unless your planning to use it right away. Remember food safety so dont leave meat out to go bad.Remind your children that this item is to be used only with permission and adult DIRECT supervision. Since you will be working with flame, this is a good time to double check that your fire safety equipment is up to date.I lit the smoke gun in the house. IF you put enough fuel in the reservoir it actually does make a great deal of smoke. It was not enough where anyone was coughing or having to leave the room and did not set off the smoke alarms. I did turn on my oven fan. Using it outdoors works MUCH better but ...if the weather is awful out there you could work with it right under your stove hood. I suggest you turn your stove hood on high. IF your fire alarm detectors are smoke based as opposed to heat based, you may consider disabling the one in the kitchen WHILE you smoke the food HOWEVER you MUST remember to turn your smoke detector back on afterwards. Use your judgement. If your smoke alarm goes off every time you fry something, then it will need to be disabled. If you cook dinner, fry foods, boil water with steam coming out of the pot with no problem from your smoke alarms, you are likely to be fine re your smoke alarm system if your stove hood fan is on high and you are under it.This unit emits smoke. If anyone in the home has asthma or COPD and they have trouble being around cigarette smoke, campfire smoke etc, do NOT use this with that person in the room.The motor on the unit could be a bit stronger as much of the smoke comes out of the top of the hopper as opposed to down the hose, but ... you dont want the motor SO strong that it blows the flame out.I am upgrading my review from a 1 based on using the instructions to a 4 based on imitating other you tube users.The unit does what it says it will do....albeit with problems with instructions and damp wood slivers.

This smoker works like a charm. You can smoke anything with it

Solid unit. Went through a few cheap ones and decided to go for the best. Easy to clean and use. Good smoke. Expect it to last a long time!

Me encantó, fácil de usar y limpiar, lo único malo es la malla que es frágil y se puede perder fácilmente y muy cara reemplazarla.

Die Verarbeitung ist wertig und nach erstem Test funktioniert die Smokegun wie erwartet.

Good

Great design and very easy to use, giving a delicate smoky flavour to all sorts of food and drinks.

It's probably the most popular smoking gun in the market. I thought I had broke it just a month into use as the fan stopped spinning but I just smacked it and it came back to life. So I'm not sure how durable this is but as of writing this it's still working ok.
