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.

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

Dry cured cold smoked bacon turned out amazing. I just wish the hopper for the ceramic kamado grills was bigger

I've tried using other products to smoke garlic on my Big Green Egg, the garlic always turned out partially cooked. The Smokai generates even cool smoke, it's easy to use, and now the garlic is amazing.

Customer photo review of Smokai Ceramic Grill Starter Kit

I have used my 1 L twice. Worked great with apple chips on two batches of cheese. Easy to start and smokes 3 to 4 hours on medium. I have not used pellets. Assembly is straight toward and simple. The build up on the delivery tube makes disassembly tight. I need to empty and clean right after smoking.

Wes G. 5/5 Verified

Easy to use. Big results.

Chad G. 5/5 Verified

Works as expected and performs well. Cleaning is a bit tedious though because of the build up inside from burnt sawdust or wood chips.

Michael E. 5/5 Verified

Boy, the smoker sure works good. I cooked my first brisket ever on my green egg using your smoker and the flavor was on point. Excellent product.

Geoffrey L. 5/5 Verified

It was a great experience. Easy to assemble, easy to use, and worked great. Highly recommend.

Jody W. 5/5 Verified

Great product

Heather R. 5/5 Verified

Well it finally warmed up enough (plus 5 cel)here in Ontario Canada to try out my new smokai and I love it. I had bellows of smoke in no time at all. Very easy to use even the first time. Now I have more smoked meat than I know what to do with. Mostly cold smoked which I was unable to do before. Now it’s as easy as can be. Very happy wonder why I didn’t buy one years ago. Phil

Phil T. 5/5 Verified

Works very well. Bought another for the gas grill.

Brian V. 5/5 Verified

Easily add luxurious smokiness to my beef in a kamado. Hot or cold smoke salmon beautifully. Can’t wait to try on some other proteins. Highly recommend.

Dean L. 5/5 Verified

Cold Smoked some cheese & hot smoked some almonds they came out very good Less successful was some pork but I put that down to the weather being windy causing the chips to burn to quickly . Still practicing and enjoying it

My husband got it for fathers day and went straight to bunnings for smoking chips and made us a wonderful dinner that night, he is thoroughly enjoying it

Jenny K. 5/5 Verified

Looks well made, have not used it yet.

Daniel M. 5/5 Verified

Used it for the first time to cold smoke some salmon in my kamado. Worked like a dream. Better than expected. Easty to setup, easy to use.

Jason M. 5/5 Verified

So easy to use. Much better than my smoke tube. Tempted to get another unit!

Paul S. 5/5 Verified

Top quality products!!

Darrell H. 5/5 Verified

Far better than I expected. Very easy to use and a good result, for a cold smoke. Looking forward to using on my Komodo as it will be easier to get a longer, controlled, smoking time than placing wood pieces into the charcoal. Especially if you need to add more.

  • 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.
