Cocktail Smoker Kit with Premium Torch

Cocktail Smoker Kit with Premium Torch

Did anyone else buy this? I received it today but the wood smoker seems to be stuck closed. I can’t get it open, and I’m wondering if the wood has warped in a way that made it stick together. It’s pretty much useless if it doesn’t open. I’m getting ready to return it, but it was supposed to be my Boss’s Christmas gift and now I wont have a gift to give him in time for Christmas. I’m hoping someone else out there has an answer on how to open it without damaging it, so that I don’t have to return it. Please help!

Looked around on Amazon and didn’t find anything there. Is it magnetic by chance? Pull hard?

Try placing in plastic bag and into freezer for half an hour to shrink wood slightly.
Use a blunt butter knife to carefully, slightly loosen without damaging wood all around all edges (not just one side which would make things worse)
…then try to twist apart.

That said, if the combustion into liquor generates creosote and mixes into alcohol… you may want to read about it and decide.
