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 and let Smokai fill your Weber Q with fresh, natural wood-fired smoke while your Q continues to breathe through its side vents, just like a serious smokehouse.

Step 03 Smoke it your way

Dial the smoke up or down. Leave your Weber Q off to cold smoke fish, cheese, bacon..... or fire up the burners 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.

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.

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.

What your Smokai Smoke Generator is
  • The Smoke Generator runs on 2-10mm sized wood chip, or 100% hardwood BBQ pellets, available from most BBQ stockists.  

    On its lowest setting, the Smokai 1L Classic Smoke Generator runs for up to 12 hours on a single hopper of hickory hardwood pellets. Pellets are dense, compressed hardwood and burn longer than 2-10mm wood chip.

    The 1L hopper holds far more burn time than its size suggests. The gravity-fed design and controlled airflow convert that wood into smoke at the rate you set. Exact run time depends on your smoke volume setting, your wood (chips burn faster than pellets), wood variety, and 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 Weber Q. Only the small smoke outlet enters the grill, so your full cooking surface stays free for food and the vents stay clear for the airflow your Q needs.

    Compare that with smoker boxes, which sit inside the Q, steam before hot smoking, take up cooking space, restrict airflow, need the Q’s burners on high to smoke, often go out and give you no control over their output.

    A Smokai Smoke Generator adds smoke to your Q without taking anything away from it.

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

    It's economical to run, too. You only burn the wood each job needs: a small load for an afternoon cook, or a single 1L hopper of pellets for up to 12 hours of smoke.

    No second appliance on the deck, no new fuel system. Your Q, doing more.

  • If you can run your Weber Q, you can run a Smokai Smoke Generator. Fill the hopper, light it, 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; 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. 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.

  • 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.

Smoke has to move

BUILT TO BREATHE WHY AIRFLOW MATTERS.

SMOKING NEEDS AIRFLOW

SMOKING NEEDS AIRFLOW

Smoking needs airflow: smoke enters the chamber, travels across the food, and leaves through the vents. Continuous, fresh, wood-fired smoke with airflow to flavour evenly. The Smokai Smoke Generator creates the smoke outside of the Q and delivers it through the side vent. The Q's venting continues untouched and smoke flows across the food and exits the far side vent, inline with serious smokehouse principles.

Smokehouse Science

Fresh Smoke Keeps Flowing

The Smoke Generator delivers a continuous fresh, wood-fired smoke into your Q.

The Q Breathes

The Weber Q’s natural air-flow helps distribute smoke across the cooking surface.

Consistent Flavour

Smoke exits freely through the Q's vents ensuring only fresh smoke is flavouring your food.

BUILT TO BREATHE WHY AIRFLOW MATTERS.

MOUNTING YOUR SMOKAI

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

Customer video review of Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

Am loving the Smokai BBQ attachment. Have cold smoked fresh caught mackerel from the pristine waters off Newfoundland so far. The ease of obtaining the perfect smoke flavour with the Smokai truly makes this product worth it. Thank you Smokai.

Customer photo review of Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

This is the best purchase ever! I have bought multiple smokers over the last 5 years, LPG upright, PitBoss pellet, wood and charcoal but the SmokeAI utilising my existing piped gas BBQ is the best setup ever as it all under shelter, requires minimal checking and is so economical on the chips and pellets! Love it

Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

Customer photo review of Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

I built a little 5 x 4 x 3 cold smoker. First try with the Smokai with some alder pellets. I did a dry salt and smoked for four days. We did King Salmon strips., two small white King fillets and seven silver salmon fillets. I used a single tube from the pump and let it go for about 12 hours at a time. The results were fantastic. Just packing up now hoping to enjoy some for quite a while.

Customer photo review of Smokai 3 Litre Magnum Smoke Generator

This was a great gift for my mom and her BF. I get them Alaska salmon every year, and with this, combined with Bear Mountain alder pellets, it’s something you can set and not have to worry about every 20 minutes. They were concerned about moisture, but what doesn’t have moisture and tar in it when it burns? It worked fine; definitely a game changer for a smoke house.

Smokai 3 Litre Magnum Smoke Generator

Customer photo review of Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

The installation was a bit complicated because I had to drill the main and support holes. But once installed it works great. It pumps a huge amount of smoke which can be controlled. It turned my gas grill into a great smoker. No longer struggling by using a basket for smoke chips and trying to keep the chips burning.

Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

Customer photo review of Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

Easy to install on a pellet smoker that either was cold or on fire. I've run several tests and the amount of smoke this little thing generates is amazing. Getting ready to smoke some salmon and jalapeno peppers. Thanks for the great product.

Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

Customer photo review of Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

It works! Only problem I had was the Camp Chef Pellet Grill fan over rode the Smokai air pump when the grill cover was shut. I solved that problem by propping the grill cover slightly open which then allowed the smoke to fill the chamber. The beef brisket came out with a wonderful smoke taste. I hade tried other "cheap" cold smokers, but the Smokai beats them all!!

My 3lt Smokai arrived in a very short time from the time of ordering. Once it was attached to my smoker I put four loins of pork (already been in pickle for 2 weeks) in it and smoked for 20 hours. What a fantastic peice of gear! Very happy with my Smokai. My next job is pressed pork shoulder Ham. 😊 thanks

Customer photo review of Smokai Ceramic Grill Starter Kit

Overall I’m extremely happy with the smokai. It adds that extra smoke flavor that I think sometimes kamados lack. I was disappointed this did not fit my Pit Boss K24, which is an XL Kamado style grill. I had to grind the bracket by barely a quarter inch. If smokai would have just made the U on the bracket a little deeper, it would have fit no problem. Not something you want to do for expensive product right out of the box. Hopefully they fix this issue, or change their compatibility page.

Tricky finding a good location to install it on the Traeger. Sure produces the smoke though. When I opened the lid I was literally blinded by the smoke. It was windy so by the time I took the picture it was blown away.

I have wanted this for a long time. The only thing that held me back was reading in your shipping policy about custom fees and lnport fees that may be due. Well I thought i would change it. Little did I know it would come out of Utah and I live in Las Vegas nv. I was so happy and wish I would have ordered it sooner. I love it and it does what you said it was supposed to do. I built a little pine box to smoke my cured salmon in. Thank you for a great product.

Customer photo review of Smokai 3 Litre Magnum Smoke Generator

On my second smoking now. First was mostly a famil. I like the size of the magnum since i can reach inside past my elbow to clean it, and i can get a full nights' sleep while its smoking without needing to refill it. My wooden smoker is small but made of western red cedar from BC. Pellet is apple from Lousiana grills, and salmon is sockeye. The smoker is portable but is under a seperate roof; not sure if i'd want to operate this setup in the open during a rainstorm - that's not criticism. Brilliant design ! The air pump works really well on its lowest setting and is very quiet. Will try some different meats soon, likely sliced and dry-brined at about an inch thick. Great stuff ! Its my new hobby ! Thank You SMOKAi !!!

Love your product. I’m actually building a smoker out of corten. Ceramic insulation inside of the box and I’m building a touch screen pid to control the electric heater element. My unit will have a thermocouple and will be WiFi enabled so that I can control it and receive all information on my phone. I’m in prototype phase but when done will send the completed product. I love that I can hot/cold smoke with your generator.

Customer video review of Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator

I’m extremely happy with this cold smoke generator. Before buying it, I always used a traditional smoke maze/spiral, and it was constantly frustrating. It would often go out, and getting the airflow just right was always a challenge. This new smoke generator with the air pump is an absolute game changer. The pump lets you easily adjust the amount of smoke, so you can get exactly the smoke level you want. Best of all, it keeps producing smoke consistently without going out. It’s so much easier to use, much more reliable, and makes cold smoking far more enjoyable. I wish I had bought it sooner. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable cold smoke generator!

This is what I was missing. I had to turn it down to the lowest air setting as it was producing too much smoke! Have used for both cold and hot smoking. Works as advertised.
