Transform your Pellet Grill
Convert your Pellet Grill into a versatile smoker capable of both cold and hot smoking.
To retrofit, you will need to drill a hole (or utilising an existing one - like a probe/exhaust port) for the Smoke Generator Smoke Output Tube to enter the grill. We supply our Smoke Generators with two M5 SS bolts for attaching the Smoke Generator, so two small holes will also need to be drilled.
For inspiration, check out the Smokai Customer Pellet Grill installations below.
The hole diameter required for your Smokai Smoke Output Tube depends on your Smoke Generator model:
Smokai Classic Smoke Generator: 20mm or 13/16"
Smokai Magnum and Monster Smoke Generators: 40mm or 1 1/2"
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- In terms of mounting location, there is no single fixed rule, as pellet grill designs can vary considerably. However, we generally recommend mounting the Smoke Generator in a position that allows smoke to travel naturally with the grill’s airflow toward the exhaust or chimney.
- Avoid mounting directly opposite the pellet grill fan, as opposing airflows can affect smoke circulation and penetration.
- Mounting above cooking grate height will provide very good smoke distribution throughout the cooking chamber.
- We recommend running the smoke generator on the highest pump setting when hot smoking on a pellet grill.
- Good airflow is critical to circulate and clear excess smoke, which helps the smoke penetrate the food and prevents back pressure (which can impact the performance of your Smoke Generator).
- Always ensure that there is a good amount of smoke visibly escaping through the grill's chimney and lid; prop open the lid slightly if necessary.
