Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Kit includes a Smokai 1L Classic Smoke Generator and a Smokai Ceramic Grill Adaptor to quickly mount it to your Ceramic Grill and remove it after use.

    The Adaptor consists of two parts: An extended Mounting Bracket and a V-Plate. When fitted, the Smoke Generator can be easily mounted to one side of the Ceramic Grill's air intake.

    Once attached, fill the hopper with dry hardwood chips or pellets, light it and set the smoke volume. Your Smokai Smoke Generator delivers steady, controllable wood-fired smoke for hours on one load.

  • The kit is compatiable with most Ceramic Grills, but not all. Please check the list below against your grill.

    • Fits Medium to XXL Ceramic grills on stands that are made of clay or ceramic. Will not fit Small Ceramic grills.
    • Kamado must have a long rectangular sliding lower air intake.
    • Not compatible with "built-in" Ceramic grills, like the ones in custom outdoor kitchens or stand alone tables (such as Big Green Egg wooden tables).
    • Won't fit Kamado shaped grills made of steel or aluminum. 
    • Not compatible with electronically controlled Ceramic grills.
    • Not compatible with Kamado shaped Pellet Grills such as the "Pellet Jo".

  • The Smokai 1 Litre Classic Smoke Generator is the only size option available for Ceramic Grills. It's the smallest and lightest in the range, sized to suit a small volume smoking chamber like a Ceramic Grill.

    The Smokai 3 Litre Magnum and Smokai 4 Litre Monster are large, heavy units, especially when filled with fuel. They produce more smoke than the Smokai 1-L Classic Smoke Generator and too much for a Ceramic Grill.

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.

Our philosophy

SMOKE EQUALS FLAVOR

Smokai’s product philosophy is simple: design the worlds best Smoke Generators and Accessories that give people control over natural wood-fired smoke that delivers authentic smokehouse flavour.

Every product is purposefully engineered using robust materials, modular construction and practical details that make it easy to use, maintain and adapt to different smoking setups. No unnecessary complexity. No disposable design. No gimmicks. Just dependable, beautifully made equipment built to perform season after season.

  • The Smoke Generator runs on 1/16 to 3/8 in (2 to 10 mm) wood chips, or 100% hardwood BBQ pellets (with no binders or additives), available from most BBQ stockists.

    The gravity-fed design and controlled airflow convert that wood into smoke at the rate you set. Exact run time depends on your output setting, your wood (chips burn faster than pellets), wood variety and conditions.

    Whatever you load, you’re measuring smoke in hours, not minutes.

  • Because we're relentless about quality: the materials, the component manufacturing, the quality control, the testing, the performance. Keeping production in our New Zealand factory is what lets us hold that standard at every step.

    It shows in the details. Certified, heavy-duty 304L stainless steel, milled into tube on site to AS 1528.1, the standard for stainless steel tube in food processing and other hygienic applications. Every Smoke Generator passes through multiple checks at a tube manufacturing level, component production level, again as a completed assembly, and is then delivered assembled.

    Even the few parts that we have to source offshore from the most reputable manufacturers are held to the same bar: air pumps custom-built to our specification to match the Smoke Generator, and independently certified high-temperature, food-safe silicone tube to feed the air to the burn.

    We've built them this way since 2011. We do things right or not at all.

  • A Ceramic Kamado Grill is excellent at holding heat, but it can’t cold smoke, and its smoke is tied to the fire. A Smokai Smoke Generator gives you a separate supply of wood-fired smoke that you control on its own.

    The reasons:

    • Cold smoking. Kamado smoke comes from a charcoal fire, so heat always comes with it. The Smoke Generator makes smoke outside the grill, so you can smoke cheese, salmon, butter or salt with no fire lit.
    • Smoke control separate from heat. Placing wood chunks in the coals, changes the fire, temperature and smoke without control. With a Smokai Smoke Generator, the vents set your temperature and the pump speed sets your smoke volume.
    • Steady smoke for long cooks or cold smoking sessions. The Smoke Generator keeps supplying fresh wood-fired smoke for as long as you run it.
    • Change your wood without opening the lid. The hopper sits outside the grill, so you can load woodchips or 100% hardwood pellets without lifting the dome and losing heat.
    • No second smoker needed. It mounts to the Kamado you already own and comes off after use.
    • Built to last. Precision engineered from stainless steel in New Zealand.

  • No modification to your Ceramic Grill is required.

  • The Smokai Smoke Generator for Charcoal Ceramic Grills has been designed to easily mount to the air intake of your Ceramic Grill and be easily lifted off after use. The time this takes is seconds.

MOUNTING YOUR SMOKE GENERATOR

FIT THE ADAPTOR
Step 1

FIT THE ADAPTOR

The adaptor consists of two parts: An extended bottom bracket and a V shaped plate.

MOUNT TO YOUR CERAMIC GRILL
Step 2

MOUNT TO YOUR CERAMIC GRILL

Once assembled, the Smoke Generator can be easily mounted to one side of the Ceramic Grill's air intake.

START SMOKING
Step 3

START SMOKING

Fill with your preferred smoking wood. Turn the pump to high. Light. Once lighted, leave burning for 5 minutes, then adjust to your preferred smoke volume.

Meet Tony, the man behind the brand

THE HARD YARDS DESERVE A REWARD

Earned on the water, up in the hills, or from a walk down to the local store and back. That effort should end in something worth remembering. Raw ingredients turned into smoked food that gets eaten, shared, and talked about long after the plate's empty.

That's where Smokai started. I'm a fisherman and a hunter, and smoking is still the best way I know to serve up your hard-fought fish or game or a good cut from the butcher. In 2010, we invented the first Smokai Smoke Generator: modular, stainless steel, built to last. All these year later, that design remains largely unchanged.



Our mission is to put the right tools, woods, resources and knowledge in your hands, so you get legendary results every time you cold or hot smoke your fish, meat or any other suitable food.

We do the lot ourselves, start to finish, in New Zealand. We're a bit obsessed with quality. Compare our gear to anything else and you'll see it.



Today Smokai has shipped to over 65 countries and is used daily by backyard smokers, pit masters, chefs, butchers and artisan smokehouses. Same passion behind it. Same respect for what nature provides.


Because legendary flavour begins with quality smoke.



Cheers, Tony

Customer photo review of Smoke Generator Kit for Charcoal Ceramic Grills

Overall I’m extremely happy with the smokai. It adds that extra smoke flavor that I think sometimes kamados lack. I was disappointed this did not fit my Pit Boss K24, which is an XL Kamado style grill. I had to grind the bracket by barely a quarter inch. If smokai would have just made the U on the bracket a little deeper, it would have fit no problem. Not something you want to do for expensive product right out of the box. Hopefully they fix this issue, or change their compatibility page.

Customer photo review of Smoke Generator Kit for Charcoal Ceramic Grills

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.

Smoke Generator Kit for Charcoal Ceramic Grills

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

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

Smoke Generator Kit for Charcoal Ceramic Grills

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.
