Innovative smoke generator – for cold and warm/hot smoking in any type of smokehouse, for large and small smokehouses - steel, wooden or brick.
Smoke generator for the needs of enthusiasts of homemade smoking products, who look for the possibility to produce delicious and aromatic meat, fish or cheese - prepared without compromise and healthier due to the fact that they do not contain unnecessary chemical additives. Using the smoke generator ensures an excellent quality and efficiency of the smoking process. With this innovative smoke generator, cold and warm/hot smoking will be an effective and at the same time stylish way to smoke professionally.
The generator can be installed in a large and small smokehouse. The tests were carried out in a smokehouse with the capacity of 300 L.
The patent of the Browin company.
The smoke generator was made in Poland.
The generator can be assembled on both sides of the smokehouse, depending on the needs.
The smoke generator is equipped with an electric, pump with power of 5 W and capacity of 420 L / h. You can use the pump not only in the smoking process, but also in aquariums. It will be also perfect for aerating aquariums of various capacities.
The well-thought, patented design allowed to combine the small size of the generator with high efficiency and low consumption of wood chips, as well as the ability to regulate the amount of smoke produced by means of a pump – in accordance with the needs and capacity of the smoking chamber. The smoke generator is made of high-quality stainless steel, thanks to which it can be used for smoking in various weather conditions. The body (charging cylinder) is closed with a wooden lid, which ensures the proper circulation of smoke and protects wood chips in the annealing process - including against raindrops. A long hose (4 m) can be cut into lengths needed to connect the pump to the smoke generator nozzle.
Filling the generator to the full allows to supply smoke to the smokehouse continuously for about 3-4 hours, without the necessity to add wood chips. Wood chips of different gradations can be used for the smoke generator, however we recommend wood chips with a degree of fragmentation (caliber) of 8-12 mm, which would allow to obtain the best smoke effect inside the smokehouse.
Innovative extended smoke generator nozzle - ideal for smokers with thicker walls (up to 15 cm), such as brick-walled ones. The nozzle is bevelled on both sides - on one side at an angle that facilitates the escape of smoke in the smokehouse, and on the other side at such angle that protects the nozzle from clogging with wood chips. The nozzle is placed in the smokehouse at the appropriate angle, increasing the flow of smoke from annealed wood chips. The nozzle passes through only the part of the wood chips combustion chamber, which allows for perfect smoke suction and at the same time adequately protects the nozzle against clogging during annealing of wood chips.
Using the efficient pump and placing it on the appropriately extended smoke generator base allows to transfer vibrations from the pump to the body of the charging chamber, improving the fall of wood chips in the annealing process and increasing the efficiency of smoking. The precise setting of the amount of generated smoke avoids overacidity of products. The pump is connected with a hose to a special pipe integrated with the nozzle, through which air is injected. The pipe also plays a construction role – it enters the notch of the base, ensuring a perfect setting of the nozzle in relation to the smokehouse and the generator body.
The construction of the smoke generator enables an easy and quick assembly as well as disassembly, it also makes it very easy to clean. The device can be easily disassembled and cleaned, without the necessity of unscrewing its base from the smokehouse and without using any tools. You only have to pull out the nozzle out of the generator body, turn the body of the charging container and take it off the base, to which it is stably connected with catches and holes in the base fitted to them. This solution ensures an adequate tightness, stabilising the body in the base at the same time.
Holes located in the lower part of the generator body allow to fire wood chips easily and ensure an appropriate oxygen supply.
In Browin's offer you will find wood chips dedicated to a given type of products that are perfect for smoking meat, fish or cheese.
Before using the smoke generator, read the manual included in the set. The manual also contains guidelines concerning using the pump.
Cleaning: The generator should be cleaned after each smoking, especially inside, to be fully ready for the next use and to ensure the correct flow of smoke. Do not use sharp tools that could damage device components.

Advice - which smoking method to choose?
Smoking methods:
Cold smoking: It usually takes place at a temperature up to 25⁰C and lasts from a few hours to 14 days. Depending on the needs, the appropriate smoke density is used. The speed of its flow should be usually within 6-15 m/min. This smoking method is mainly used for products that are supposed to be stored or matured for a long time, because the smoke penetrates deeply into the product and slowly preserves it. Smoked meats submitted to this processing method dry evenly. Cold smoking also gives a great effect with long-term maturation.
Warm/hot smoking: It is the impact on the product with smoke above 25⁰C. There are two established upper temperature limits - smoking up to approx. 45⁰C is called warm smoking and up to 60⁰C hot smoking. In the case of hot smoking, the products can be roasted in the smokehouse itself, raising the temperature in the smoking chamber up to 80-90⁰C.
Smoking with roasting: In the case of roasting, the smoke generator can be disconnected and the product can be treated only with temperature.
Regardless of which type of smoking you choose, remember that this is the final process, and the basis is proper preparation of products for smoking and drying them very well before smoking (or drying them in the smokehouse as an option). This is a key stage that positively influences the quality of smoked meats and it prevents their acidification.
