More Information

  • 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 BBQ pellets.  Using 100% hardwood BBQ pellets on a low pump speed, the classic can produce smoke for up to 12 hours*.

    • 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.

    • 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 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.
    ** Your Kamado grill must be lit and set to your desired temperature.

  • 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.

  • Joseph Clarke / NZ

    Loving the off grid portability of the Smokai Cordless Battery Air Pump. With the variable speeds it can set the smokai and left to do what it does best. 10/10 thank you Smokai!

  • Leigh Trostel / USA

    Today was the maiden voyage for my new one liter cold smoker. It was easy to convert it to the Kamado adapter and mount the whole unit on the lower inlet window. It lit easily and produces an abundance of smoke. It is very responsive to changes in the variable air pump speed. I haven't used it yet on a product but I am already very pleased that I found out about your products

  • Brad Dennis / USA

    No more guessing how much wood chunks; just great clean smoke for 4 hour cooks. Best add on device for the Egg. Have done four cooks in a week and look forward to many more with Smokai. Works perfectly. Good clean smoke.
