  Wooden Smokehouse

  

  Your Smokehouse: Controlled smoke volume. Leave it running.

  A Tradition Built Around Smoke For centuries, wooden smokehouses have been used to help preserve and flavour meat, fish and other foods with natural wood smoke. They became particularly established throughout Scandinavia, the British Isles and Northern and Central Europe, before travelling with settlers to farms and homesteads across North America.

  Long before refrigeration, the smokehouse was an important part of preserving the harvest, the catch and the hunt after curing with salt. Traditional cold-smoking smokehouses often relied on a separate fire pit positioned several metres from the building, with smoke travelling through an underground trench or flue to cool before entering the chamber. It worked beautifully—but required space, preparation and plenty of attention.

  The Smokai Smoke Generator keeps everything we love about the wooden smokehouse while making producing the smoke remarkably simple. Mount the Smoke Generator directly to the smokehouse, load your choice of wood and dial the smoke up or down. No separate fire pit. No trench to dig. Just hours of controllable, natural wood-fired smoke inside one of the most timeless smoking chambers ever built.

  • How does a Smokai Smoke Generator work on a smokehouse?

    Bolt it to the outside of your smokehouse, fill the hopper with dry hardwood chips or pellets, light it and set the smoke volume. Your Smokai Smoke Generator delivers steady, controllable wood-fired smoke for hours on one load.

  • Will it fit my wooden smokehouse?

    Yes. All three Smokai Smoke Generators mount to a wooden smokehouse with no adaptor. Drill a hole low on the smokehouse for the smoke outlet and two small holes for the fittings, fit the smoke outlet through the hole and secure the Smoke Generator with the hardware supplied.

  • Which Smoke Generator size is best for me?

    The 3 Litre Magnum and 4 Litre Monster are the natural choices for most wooden smokehouses. Choose between them based primarily on smokehouse size, the smoke volume required and how long you want to smoke on one load. The 1 Litre Classic is a good option for smaller smokehouses, while the 4 Litre Monster provides the greatest fuel capacity for larger smokehouses and long smoking sessions. Also consider the food being smoked and your smokehouse wall thickness.

  Brick/Block Smokehouse

  

  Your Smokehouse: Controlled smoke volume. Leave it running.

  Built to Stand the Test of Time Brick, stone and block smokehouses have been used for generations wherever a more permanent smoking chamber was required. Found on farms, estates and rural properties throughout Europe and North America, these solid structures were built to withstand years of use while providing a protected chamber for smoking meat, fish, sausages and other foods.

  Their substantial construction makes them particularly well suited to larger smoking projects. Masonry walls provide excellent durability, shelter the smoking chamber from changing weather conditions and give the smokehouse the unmistakable feel of something built for a purpose — and built to last.

  Traditionally, producing cool smoke often meant building a separate fire pit away from the smokehouse and directing the smoke through a buried pipe, trench or flue before it entered the chamber. With a Smokai Smoke Generator, that process becomes considerably simpler. Mount the Smoke Generator directly through the wall of your smokehouse, load your choice of wood and dial the smoke up or down. No separate fire pit. No trench to dig. Just hours of controllable, natural wood-fired smoke inside a smokehouse that could be part of your property for decades.

  • Will it fit my brick or block smokehouse?

    Yes. All three Smokai Smoke Generators mount to a brick or block smokehouse with no adaptor, but due to the thicker walls of brick or block smokehouses, the 3L Magnum or 4L Monster Smoke Generators with an optional extended XL smoke outlet is likely to be required.

    Drill a hole low on the smokehouse for the smoke outlet and two small holes for the fittings, fit the smoke outlet through the hole and secure the Smoke Generator with the hardware supplied.

  Metal Smokehouse

  

  Your Smokehouse: Controlled smoke volume. Leave it running.

  Purpose-Built for Smoke Metal smokehouses have long been valued for their strength, durability and practicality. From compact backyard cabinets to larger commercial-style smoking chambers, steel construction creates a robust enclosure that is easy to maintain and capable of standing up to years of regular use.

  Compared with traditional timber smokehouses, metal chambers can be made more compact, are less affected by moisture and are particularly well suited to purpose-built smoking setups. Insulated double-wall designs can also help reduce the influence of changing outdoor temperatures, making them a popular choice for serious home smokers and larger-capacity installations.

  Traditionally, cold smoking still required a separate smoke source positioned away from the chamber so the smoke could cool before reaching the food. With a Smokai Smoke Generator, the smoke is produced right where you need it. Mount the Smoke Generator directly to the wall of the smokehouse, load your choice of wood and dial the smoke up or down. No separate fire pit. No long flue or trench. Just hours of controllable, natural wood-fired smoke from a simple, purpose-built setup.
