Once desired amount of smoke is achieved, stop applying the flame and allow the smoker to rest on top of glass while smoke infuses the beverage.

Place smoker on a metal surface (or wood smoking plank) flat end down.
( heat from smoker may char or heat the surface below it. When using the method for smoking the glass it is best to place smoker on a surface such as stainless steel to avoid fire or damage to surface below)
Some kits may include a wooden plank for smoking the glass.

Taking care of your smoker:
Never point direct flame to any wooden parts of the smoker.
Always ensure flame is pointed downward into the metal screen.
Avoid submerging the smoker in water or other liquids.
Knock loose any wood chips or charring from screen after each use.
Use a soft bristle brush to clean screen.
Wipe any remaining residue from wooden smoker with a dry rag.
If smoker requires further cleaning use a damp rag with a small dab of soap and wipe clean then dry.
Ensure smoker is thoroughly dry before use.
(Exposing your cocktail smoker to liquids or moisture for prolonged periods of time could potentially warp and damage the product)
Your smoker is coated with Tung Oil and properly cured prior to shipping.
Tung oil is extracted from nuts and is known for good water resistance. It leaves a natural finish that darkens the wood while showcasing the grain. Once thoroughly cured, it is food-safe.
