  2. Attach the flexible silicone hose to the outlet port on the side of the smoker by firmly pushing it in.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On and Adjusting Smoke Volume

  1. Press the left button (three-speed adjustment) to turn on the device. The green indicator lights will show the current speed setting.
  2. Press the left button repeatedly to cycle through the three smoke volume settings: Low, Medium, and High. The device will automatically shut off after 5 minutes in any of these modes.
  3. For a quick, intense burst of smoke, press the right button (high-speed mode). The blue light will activate, and the device will automatically shut off after 10-30 seconds.

4.2 Igniting Wood Chips and Smoking

  1. Once the device is on and the desired speed is selected, use a lighter or match to ignite the wood chips in the combustion chamber. A small flame is sufficient; the fan will draw the smoke.
  2. Direct the flexible hose towards the food or drink you wish to infuse. For best results, use a covered container, cloche, or cocktail glass with a lid to trap the smoke.
  3. Allow the smoke to infuse for a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the desired intensity.
  4. When finished, turn off the device by pressing the left button until all lights are off, or allow it to auto shut-off.

5.2 Cleaning the Hose

The flexible silicone hose can accumulate residue over time. Detach the hose and rinse it with warm, soapy water. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.

5.3 Replacing Meshes

The kit includes replacement meshes for the combustion chamber. If the current mesh becomes clogged or damaged, carefully remove it and insert a new one. Ensure it is seated properly to prevent wood chips from entering the device.

If you encounter issues with your BORUIT Cocktail Smoker Kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible CauseSolution

No smoke or very little smoke produced.Insufficient wood chips; wood chips are damp; combustion chamber clogged; fan speed too low.Add more dry wood chips; clean the combustion chamber and mesh; increase fan speed. Ensure wood chips are properly ignited.
