@whambamduel thanks for the kind words! I do all of it by myself! I've really enjoyed making my own content.

I absolutely recommend it! It's nice always having homemade wine on hand

Well said! Thank you for the kind words!

@benshackelford7742 Thanks for the kind words! I'm having a lot of fun learning and trying my hand at it!

@@dc6642 always wash your wood. Tip from the wise 👌 lol

@shaadzz8961 I also prefer my whiskey neat, but an Old Fashioned is best served on ice - in my opinion!

So, I did pay close to nothing for the wood plate with the sole intention of smoking cocktails with it. It will definitely continue to be used, so it won't be going to waste!

@daVUXe they both have their perks! I usually would use chilled stones while drinking a shot of bourbon or rum that I plan to sip on chilled without dilution. Some cocktails are meant to be a little diluted as you drink them. I.E an Old Fashioned is a spirit-forward cocktail and won't be ruined with a little dilution from ice. A large cube DOES melt slower than ice chips - so there is a reason that they call for them instead, so as to prevent too much dilution too quickly. All in all, this is all personal preference. I say the best way to enjoy a drink is the way you want to. Don't fear putting a twist on a recipe!

@rlwilson39 Try to check if the metal screen is clogged or not. Get a toothpick and scrape out the inside. Also try to pack just enough wood chips to cover the metal screen. Sometimes too much wood in the smoker can restrict the flow of smoke falling into the glass. If none of that works, try a new wood!

@@rlwilson39 Also, make sure you are using a butane torch. Matches or a regular lighter will not work properly.

Thank you! I've got more content coming soon!

I appreciate the kind words! I'm still learning, but I'm having fun with the setup so far!

@@christopherholden66 I appreciate it! Many more videos to come!

@@matthewgardner2553 Thank you! Many more videos to come!

@Don_cheedle This one uses small chunks of wood. I've used finer wood shavings before, as well. I don't believe I've ever seen anything as fine as saw dust - primarily because I believe it would fall through the mesh and into the drink/ become airborne and send embers everywhere.

I always crack the joke 'does anyone want a hit of this?' anytime I pack a smoke puck.
