  • Key Features
    • Made In New Zealand

    Designed and manufactured in New Zealand since 2011.  We place utmost importance on attention to detail and quality control to provide a high quality product. Air pump made in China.

    • 304 Heavy Duty Stainless Steel

    There is stainless and there is stainless.  Smokai uses the very best, locally sourced, certified, hygienic 304L stainless steel. It's heavy duty and built to last.

    • Smokai-Modular-System™

    Invented by our founders in 2011, 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.

    • 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.

    • 1 Litre Hopper

    The gravity fed hopper holds 1 Litre of woodchip or 100% hardwood BBQ pellets.  Using pellets on a low pump speed, smoke for up to 12 hours*.

    • Power Options

    Mains powered or the cordless, rechargeable battery powered pump for off-grid smoking.

    • Silicone Air Tube

    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 12 hours*, the Smokai Classic 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, altitude and the ambient environment.  Up to 12 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 Classic 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 1 Litre / 1 Quart.

    Up to 12* hours continuous smoking on one load (dependent on wood type, wood variety, pump speed and ambient environment). Wood pellets will last far longer than wood chip.

    1 Kg (2.2 lb) of manuka wood chip will provide approximately 12 hours of smoking time (on a low pump setting).

    Power options include:
    110-120V AC 60Hz, 3.5W
    220-240v AC 50Hz, 3.5W

  • California Proposition 65

    What is Proposition 65?

    Proposition 65 is the result of a law passed in California in 1986, referred to as the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, or more generally referred to as "Proposition 65" or "Prop 65" for short.

    By law, the State of California requires the Proposition 65 warning to be present on any product packaging when the products may contain one or more of the hundreds of chemicals listed in the Proposition 65 database.

    What chemicals do Smokai Products contain?

    Smokai Wood Chip: Wood, wood dust and wood particles, combustion by products such as smoke and carbon monoxide which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. 

    Smoke Generators powered by cordless air pump: Lithium-ion batteries and products that contain lithium-ion batteries include lithium nickel oxide, and nickel, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. 

    Why do you have this warning on products which are sold outside of California? 

    We take a global approach to our packaging design, hence you will see the Prop 65 warning on relevant products, even if you purchased the products outside of California / USA.

    For more information, please refer to the following:
