  • Key Features

    Made In New Zealand: Proudly designed and manufactured in New Zealand since 2011.  We put importance on attention to detail, quality control and providing a high quality kiwi product. (Air pump made in China.)

    Smokai-Modular-System™:  Invented by our founders, the modular design of our Smoke Generators makes mounting, assembly, disassembly, ash disposal and cleaning super quick and easy. The precision engineered, heavy duty components lock together in seconds.

    3 Litre Hopper:  The gravity fed hopper holds 3 Litre of woodchip or BBQ pellets.  Using 100% hardwood BBQ pellets on a low pump speed, the 3L Magnum can produce smoke for up to 24 hours*.

    Control Your Smoke™:  The variable speed air pump can be adjusted to control the volume smoke, from a light to heavy smoke producing the very best results.

    Power Options:  Choose from a mains powered pump or our wireless, rechargeable battery powered pump for off-grid smoking. Take your setup to the beach, holiday home, camp or on the road with ease.

    304L Hygeinic Stainless Steel:  There is stainless and there is stainless.  Smokai uses the very best, locally sourced, certified, hygienic 304L stainless steel.

    Silicone Air Tube:  Made from high-temperature, food-safe silicone, the air tube connects the air pump to the Smoke Generator.

    Hardwood Lid:  We chose to include a hardwood lid, not steel, so that it seats well on the hopper and can safely be removed by hand during the smoke to check the level of smoking wood or refill.

    Flat Base: The flat base provides an alternative option to fixing the unit using the built-in mounting bracket.  If your setup allows, you can simply rest the unit on a shelf or the ground and line up the smoke outlet to the hole entering your smoking chamber.

  • Get Smoking

    Designed to smoke for up to 24 hours*, the Smokai Magnum makes cold smoking a breeze and can supply a controllable volume of quality, fresh wood fired smoke when hot** smoking.

    The variable speed air pump gives you control of the smoke volume ensuring you don’t over smoke your food which is often the case with other smoking systems.

    Fresh wood is gravity fed to the burn with ash settling on the base, ready to quickly empty after your smoke.

    Woodchip must be between 2-10mm in size, free of sawdust and dried. Hardwood pellets must be 100% hardwood BBQ pellets. Do not use any BBQ pellets that use oils, additives and/or binders in the manufacturing of their wood pellets.

    * Smoking times are dependent on the pump speed,wood fuel type (woodchip, pellets), size, variety (hickory, maple, etc), quality, manufacturer and the ambient environment. Up to 24 hours using 100% hickory pellets with the pump set to its lowest speed. 
    ** A separate heat source is required when hot smoking.

  • How To Use

    Once you’ve mounted the Magnum to your preferred smoking chamber, you can start smoking. It’s really easy.

    STEP 1: Fill the hopper with you preferred woodchip or hardwood pellets.

    STEP 2: Turn on the pump and adjust to high volume.

    STEP 3: Light with a match and watch in amazement for a few minutes (there will be a ludicrous volume of smoke on high).

    STEP 4: Crack open a beer and adjust to your preferred smoke volume.

  • Specifications

    Hopper Capacity 3 Litre / 3 Quart.

    Up to 24* hours continuous smoking on one load (dependent on wood type, wood variety, pump speed and ambient environment).  Wood pellets last longer than wood chip.

    Power options include:
    110-120V AC 60Hz, 3.5W
    220-240v AC 50Hz, 3.5W
    Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, 6000mAh, up to 40 hours on one charge

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.

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 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 !!!

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

Customer photo review of Smokai 3 Litre Magnum Smoke Generator

My package arrived as scheduled, no issues, delays, or complications. The install was easy, a few adjustments to the fasteners to make it easy to remove from the side of the smoke house. Did a “dry run” today with about 1/3 of the canister full of chips. It lit easily, and produced a nice thick smoke for right around 2 hrs on the low pump setting. Looking forward to cold smoking some salmon as soon as possible!

Just hooked up my Magnum Smokai this morning and tested it out smoking some cheese. I need to do a little modification on the mounting but it worked out fine on the test run. Boy this puppy puts out some smoke! I like it a lot!
