A smoke generator is an auxiliary device in cold smoking and warm/hot smoking that can be used in any kind of smoker. Using it ensures excellent quality and efficiency of the process. Easy assembly and disassembly, as well as intuitive operation, make the smoking process a pure pleasure.

• ​Enables cold smoking - using a smoke generator enables cold smoking, which is employed mainly for preparing fish, cheese or matured smoked meat.
• Made of stainless steel - the material of which the smoke generator is made contributes to its significant durability and resistance to corrosion, chemical agents used for cleaning grills, and different atmospheric conditions.
• Removable fill tube - thanks to it you will be able to clean the device thoroughly.
• Easy assembly and disassembly - all the device parts have been designed with utmost care and fit one another perfectly.
• Capacious tube - allows placing about 450 g of wood chips of any type of wood chips (we recommend using those fragmented to 8-12 mm pieces, as it allows achieving the best smoking effect). Such an amount of wood chips is sufficient for several house of smoking without having to top them up.

The set is accompanied either by a black pump with power of 4 W and efficiency of 2x4.5 L/min or a green pump with power of 3.8 W and efficiency of 2x200 L/h, chosen at random. The choice has no impact on the functionality of the smoke generator.

Tip - which smoking method to choose?
 
Smoking methods:
• cold smoking
• warm/hot smoking
• smoking with roasting (characteristic for BBQ).
 
Cold smoking: It usually takes place in the temperature of up to 25⁰C and takes from several hours to 14 days. The smoke density used depends on the needs. This method of smoking is used mainly for products that are supposed to be stored for a long time or matured, as the smoke penetrates the product deeply and preserves it slowly. The products smoked using this method dry uniformly. It also provides excellent results in the case of long-term maturing.
 
Warm/hot smoking: It consists in using smoke with temperature of more than 25⁰C on the product. Here we can distinguish two upper temperature limits adopted – smoking up to about 45⁰C is called warm smoking, and up to 60⁰C - hot smoking. In case of hot smoking, the products inside the smoker can be roasted by raising the temperature in the smoking chamber even up to 80-90⁰C.
 
Smoking with roasting: In case of roasting, we recommend disconnecting the smoke generator and processing the products using temperature only.
 
Irrespective of the type of smoking you select, remember that it is the final process, and the basis consists in properly preparing the products for smoking and drying them very well prior to it (or, alternatively, additionally drying them in the smoker). It is a crucial stage that has a positive impact on the quality of smoked products and prevents their acidification.

Note:
Remember to position the generator funnel feeding the smoke to the smoker in such a manner that the elongated opening of this funnel is directed downwards. The notch in the limiter plate and the protrusion on the fill tube will help you with that.
 
After each smoking, the generator should be cleaned in order to make it fully ready for the next use. If the generator is not cleaned, it may lead to poor flow of the smoke.
