Was looking for one of these last week and found that Big W had them for $75, everywhere else has them for $119
I held off and checked today and the price has dropped down to $50!

Only catch is that you can't buy online for some reason. But the first store I checked (Karingal VIC) had heaps of stock, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
The tag said $75, but it scans as $50. Plus you have the URL to show them if any issues.

Enjoy

    Is this legal to use during a fire ban? :/

          Why do people insist on spewing bullshit when they clearly don't know what they are talking about?

          You can light a gas BBQ under a TOBAN, which is just a much bigger version of a cigarette lighter

          You may not discard lit butts, since that falls under 'would be likely to cause a fire'

          HOWEVER: As per the first link the product in the OP burns solid fuel and is therefore not allowed to be used during a TOBAN.

        • CacheHunter on 02/02/2017 - 00:53

          @Diji1: I've seen a grass fire start when the car in front chucked a butt out the window. Only took seconds to overwhelm me and other cars that stopped to try and extinguish it before it spread. Fortunately, the firies were less than a km away (suburban Canberra) and stopped it before it got to the houses.

          You can smoke outside. Flicking a lit cigarette out of a car window during a total fire ban is illegal and attracts a fine.

          No mention of lighting the cigarette though so assumed I guess? :)

          It's not allowed to be used IN OPEN AIR during a TOBAN. You can do whatever you like indoors. Read sentence 1 - and then apologise for acting like a pompous ass.

          For clarity:

          The "Open Air" is any place from which sparks or embers could escape. Undercover areas such as patios, pergolas and huts that are open or partially open to the weather are deemed to be in the open air.

    cant imagine this even working? you need to smoke for hours to get smoke flavour. would be better off with a bottle of liquid smoke or get yourself an electric smoker like a hark like ive got. probably why they are dumping the price on them, worthless gimmick

    • Windows98 on 01/02/2017 - 22:10
      +2

      That's right. You're not going to get a deep smoke flavor in meat like you would with hours in a smoker.
      This is just a light smoke for small items like cheese, liquids, popcorn apparently.

      I smoke / slow cook in my weber. But wanted to play with this for smaller things like a single burger patty etc

      • Slippery Fish on 02/02/2017 - 10:26

    • garage sale on 02/02/2017 - 01:03

      liquid smoke is hard to beat for convenience, and you can even use it indoors when cooking. I mix it with a bit of Kikkoman teriyaki sauce brush it onto the meat or marinate the meat in it, and into a grill pan. the sugar in the teriyaki gives nice black lines and the liquid smoke does the flavour.

      Some people even put the liquid smoke in hamburger mince so the hamburgers taste smokey without cooking to the point of drying out, and you can cook them indoors.

    • conan2000 on 03/02/2017 - 20:50

      I have a Polyscience smoking gun and you are partially right, it is next to useless for meats, but works well for liquids, butter, cheese and it works very well. I tried liquid smoke and find it gives a terrible flavour to everything I've tried it with.

    I helped out in a celebrity stage and the chef used a bee smoker to smoke items. Cover a tray with the items in it with lots of plastic wrap. Poke the smallest hole necessary to fit the nozzle in. Smoke it up . Qiuickly cover the hole in the plastic wrap and wait. We used natives vegetation and it tasted like a bush fire.

    I've got the Polyscience version of this, so can't say what this one is like, but they are kind of fun to use. The big difference is that they make cold smoke, so you can smoke yoghurt, cheese, butter etc that would be hard in a normal smoker. You usually need to give whatever you are smoking 2-3 bursts and let it absorb, but it gives a more genuine smoked flavour than liquid smoke. I doubt most people would get value at full price, but if you can pick one up at this price you will probably be quite happy.

    • Cluster on 02/02/2017 - 11:11

      How often do you use it? It looks like a fun item to try, and I would make smoked salmon and a few other dishes a few times, but is it something you would use every week or two?

      • nzbenny on 02/02/2017 - 16:27

        You would be lucky to use it once a month…you will use it a lot initially, but make sure you have space in a drawer or in the back of your cupboard next to your blow torch/juicer etc…if you do the odd dinner party you will probably dig it out and impress some friends. For 50 bucks it's probably one of the better kitchen items you can waste your hard earned cash on :)

      • conan2000 on 03/02/2017 - 21:12

        I have the same one, I use it frequently to keep some smoked butter handy. The smoke infuses with butter really well and that works very well for flavouring other things (mashed potatoes are a great example). Also great for guacamole, so I use it every time we make Mexican food.

      Probably, but if you're having a glass of wine with your dinner you're consuming a known carcinogen, and if your dinner has any baked or fried starchy food it's coated in acrylamide (also a carcinogen). For the number of times someone is going to consume smoked food I doubt it's a problem compared to all the other carcinogens one can consume.
