How it works

IT’S EASY TO SMOKE WITH SMOKAI

Step 01 Add your wood

Fill your Smokai Smoke Generator with your favourite variety of hardwood BBQ pellets or 2–10 mm wood chips.

Step 02 Bring on the smoke

Set the pump to high, light it and let Smokai fill your smoker, grill or smokehouse with fresh, natural wood-fired smoke while it breathes through its vents, just like a serious smokehouse.

Step 03 Smoke it your way

Dial the smoke up or down. Leave the heat off to cold smoke fish, cheese and bacon, or add heat to hot smoke brisket, steak, lamb and so much more

Step 04 Sit back with the people who matter

Enjoy food packed with authentic smokehouse flavour and watch every plate come back empty.

Installing Your Smokai

I've been smoking meat for 40+ years.... Attaching the Smokai to a Weber Q BBQ is a game changer.... Great piece of kit, which will last forever.

Could not be happier ! I finally had some time to build my cedar smokehouse and get the Smokai up and running. It runs quietly and flawlessly while dumping smoke into the smokehouse. The battery option is also awesome so I can move it anywhere in my yard. Worth every penny!

Trial run with my first Smokai gen. on an old refrigerator that I repurposed into a smoker. Since this video, I have converted 2 more old fridges and ordered 2 more Smokai gens. I will be starting my fourth project soon and intend on ordering my fourth Smokai gen. I believe that repeat customers says it all! Thank you Smokai! I love your products! Kel in Kansas

Our philosophy

SMOKE EQUALS FLAVOUR

Smokai’s product philosophy is simple: design the worlds best Smoke Generators and Accessories that give people control over natural wood-fired smoke that delivers authentic smokehouse flavour.

Every product is purposefully engineered using robust materials, modular construction and practical details that make it easy to use, maintain and adapt to different smoking setups. No unnecessary complexity. No disposable design. No gimmicks. Just dependable, beautifully made equipment built to perform season after season.

  • The Smoke Generator runs on 2–10 mm wood chips or 100% hardwood BBQ pellets, available from most BBQ stockists.

    On its lowest setting, a single hopper of hickory hardwood pellets lasts up to 12 hours in the 1L Classic, up to 24 hours in the 3L Magnum and up to 32 hours in the 4L Monster. Pellets are dense, compressed hardwood and burn longer than wood chips.

    Each hopper holds far more burn time than its size suggests: the gravity-fed design and controlled airflow turn the wood into smoke at the rate you set. Exact run time depends on your smoke setting, your fuel (chips burn faster than pellets), the wood variety and the conditions. Whatever you load, you’re measuring smoke in hours, not minutes.

  • Because we're relentless about quality: the materials, the component manufacturing, the quality control, the testing, the performance. Keeping production in our New Zealand factory is what lets us hold that standard at every step.

    It shows in the details. Certified, heavy-duty 304L stainless steel, milled into tube on site to AS 1528.1, the standard for stainless steel tube in food processing and other hygienic applications. Every Smoke Generator passes through multiple checks at a tube manufacturing level, component production level, again as a completed assembly, and is then delivered assembled.

    Even the few parts that we have to source offshore from the most reputable manufacturers are held to the same bar: air pumps custom-built to our specification to match the Smoke Generator, and independently certified high-temperature, food-safe silicone tube to feed the air to the burn.
    We've built them this way since 2011. We do things right or not at all.

  • No. The Smoke Generator mounts on the outside of your smoker, grill or smokehouse. Only the small smoke outlet goes inside, so your full cooking space stays free for food and the vents stay clear for the airflow you need.

    Compare that with smoker boxes, which sit inside, steam before they smoke, take up cooking space, restrict airflow, need high heat to produce any smoke, often go out and give you no control over their output.

    A Smokai Smoke Generator adds smoke without taking anything away from your setup.

  • It can be, if the path you take is a dedicated smoker. A Smokai Smoke Generator on the grill, smoker or smokehouse you already own is a different path: a fraction of the price of a new pellet grill, with more range than most dedicated smokers, and it doesn’t take up any more space than what you already have.

    It’s economical to run, too. You only burn the wood each job needs: a small load for an afternoon cook, or a single hopper of pellets for up to 12 hours of smoke in the 1L Classic, 24 in the 3L Magnum or 32 in the 4L Monster.

    No second appliance on the deck, no new fuel system. Just the setup you already have, doing more.

  • If you can run your grill or smoker, you can run a Smokai Smoke Generator. Fill the hopper, light it and dial in the smoke volume to suit the job. You’re making smoke within minutes.

    The food side takes exactly as long as you choose. A dry-rubbed steak can be ready for smoke in minutes, while cold-smoked bacon means a few days of simple curing first. That’s not a skill barrier; it’s you picking the project.

    Start with cheese or a weeknight steak, then work up to bacon and brisket. The Smoke Generator handles the smoke either way.

  • Where it counts, it does more. Most dedicated smokers, vertical smokers and pellet grills included, are hot-smoking machines that produce whatever smoke they produce, with little control over volume. Pellet grills in particular, for all their convenience, are routinely criticized for light smoke flavour.

    A Smokai Smoke Generator on your Weber Q gives you the two things most of them can't: adjustable smoke volume to suit your taste, and true cold smoking. Cold smoke cheese, butter, salmon, or bacon with no heat at all. Hot smoke low & slow with the Q supplying exactly the heat you want and the Smoke Generator supplying fresh, wood-fired smoke.

    One setup: cold smoking, hot smoking, and full smoke control. That's more versatility than most dedicated smokers on the market.

    Where it counts, it does more. On their own, most smokers, vertical smokers and pellet grills included, are hot-smoking machines that produce whatever smoke they produce, with little control over volume. Pellet grills in particular, for all their convenience, are routinely criticised for light smoke flavour.

    Add a Smokai Smoke Generator to your grill, smoker or smokehouse and you get the two things most of them can’t give you: adjustable smoke volume to suit your taste, and true cold smoking. Cold smoke cheese, butter, salmon or bacon with no heat at all. Hot smoke low and slow, with your heat source supplying exactly the heat you want and the Smoke Generator supplying fresh, wood-fired smoke.

    One setup: cold smoking, hot smoking and full smoke control. That’s more versatility than most dedicated smokers on the market.

  • Soaking exists as a workaround for smoker boxes sitting over direct heat, with no way to control the burn. A Smokai Smoke Generator controls the burn with airflow instead, converting dry wood into consistent smoke at the volume you set.

    Keep your pellets and chips dry. The Smoke Generator does the rest.

Meet Tony, the man behind the brand

THE HARD YARDS DESERVE A REWARD

Earned on the water, up in the hills, or from a walk down to the local store and back. That effort should end in something worth remembering. Raw ingredients turned into smoked food that gets eaten, shared, and talked about long after the plate's empty.

That's where Smokai started. I'm a fisherman and a hunter, and smoking is still the best way I know to serve up your hard-fought fish or game or a good cut from the butcher. In 2010, we invented the first Smokai Smoke Generator: modular, stainless steel, built to last. All these year later, that design remains largely unchanged.



Our mission is to put the right tools, woods, resources and knowledge in your hands, so you get legendary results every time you cold or hot smoke your fish, meat or any other suitable food.

We do the lot ourselves, start to finish, in New Zealand. We're a bit obsessed with quality. Compare our gear to anything else and you'll see it.



Today Smokai has shipped to over 65 countries and is used daily by backyard smokers, pit masters, chefs, butchers and artisan smokehouses. Same passion behind it. Same respect for what nature provides.


Because legendary flavour begins with quality smoke.



Cheers, Tony

Love using Smokai with my Webber Q, it's easy to use and gives the best results, the meat comes out perfect each time. Tried to cold smoke some cheese, we are just waiting the 3 weeks of curing time before taste testing, but looking forward to it. Love Smokai, can't wait to take the whole set up camping. Yummo

Customer photo review of Smokai 1L Classic Adaptor for Hooded BBQ/Grill Rotisserie Bracket

I finally had the opportunity to try the smoker three weeks after delivery. Set up took a few attempts to get the adaptor just right, but the ease of use, smoke generated abd the ability to cold smoke was a game changer. My electric smoker must heat to at least 250F before any smoke starts. Smokai is a great product, well made and worth every penny!

Wonderful experience. I am 75 years old and unable to bbq like I used to. The combination of the Smokai and Grilla Mammoth gives me offset flavor, but with pellet smoker ease of use. The key is using high quality pellets and wood chips.

Customer video review of Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

Setup: Traeger Pro 34 + Smokai Smoke Generator ​If you’ve been running a Traeger Pro 34 (or any traeger), you probably know the struggle—it’s great for set-it-and-forget-it temperature control, but the built-in smoke profile can leave a lot to be desired, especially if you love deep, authentic wood smoke on long cooks. Adding the Smokai smoke generator completely changed the game. ​Performance & Smoke Output: The difference is night and day. The Smokai pumps out thick, clean smoke right from the start and gives cold smoke and low-and-slow cooks the intense flavor profile that pellet grills normally lack. You finally get that true smoke ring and deep flavor on bigger cuts like brisket and pork shoulder. ​Installation & Fit: Installation was overall very simple. The only slight tweak required was widening the stock thermometer plug hole on the Traeger casing just a tiny bit to get a snug, seamless fit. It took less than five minutes with basic tools—super easy and well worth the small effort. ​Verdict: If you want the convenience of your Traeger Pro 34 without sacrificing actual smoke intensity, the Smokai is a no-brainer upgrade. Highly recommended! Fyi I also sealed around the traeger with a good gasket to keep the smoke flowing correctly

Customer photo review of Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

Very impressed with the precision of the manufacture of every piece of the smoker. I am also very impressed with the results. I have tried other smoker attachments for a propane BBQ but have always had trouble getting enough smoke at the low & slow temps for things like port shoulders, pork chops & ribs. My first try was a smoked pesto chicken which was impressive. Second dish was a stuffed pork loin roast which was every bit as good as what I get on my pellet smoker. You guys have nailed the design. Well done. I'll be placing another order soon for a Christmas present for my brother in law.

I was considering getting a new pellet smoker before I saw the Smokai. After watching the video and reading reviews I purchased one. Instructions were simple and I was smoking cheese the next day and snack sticks the day after! Loved the results so I set it up to work on both of my gas grills. I am sold on this 1L unit, it does exactly what Smokai said it would do!!

Smoked some ribs and was so surprised how quickly the smoke started and how much there was - it was awesome. My stand alone smoker died and always took a long time to produce the smoke. Smoking some salmon for the Holidays. Had to make some adjustments on the installation, but it worked out great. The neat thing is my grill cover fits fine with the smoker attached.
