One day after a long day on the water, we were sitting around the fire debating what would make an ideal, economical cold smoker. A bee was crawling around the neck of a mates beer bottle. This little worker gave us the perfect idea - the Hive Smoker. It's great in so many ways:
The most popular options for the hive smoker is the Smokai Bullet and Classic Smoke Generators. However, you can also mount the larger models if desired.
The hive smoker is so simple, it's brilliant! It takes less than an hour to construct.
All Smokai Smoke Generators feature the Smokai-Modular-System™. This is a mount based system, meaning the mount has been built into the product. It also makes assembly, disassembly, ash disposal and cleaning super quick and easy. The precision engineered, heavy duty modular components lock together firmly in seconds.
STEP 1: Drill a hole* into the bottom story of your hive and attach the smoke generator with the two bolts suppled.
*Hole Diameters Required:
Smokai Bullet and Classic Smoke Generators: 20mm (0.8“)
Smokai Magnum and Monster Smoke Generators: 40mm (1.6“)
STEP 2: Install two air vents to create sufficient airflow through the hive; one on the bottom story and one on the top story.
