Smoke generator (with ash pan) — made to meet the needs of home-smoking enthusiasts who want to create delicious, aromatic meats, fish and cheeses without compromise — and healthier too, without unnecessary chemical additives. Using a smoke generator ensures top-notch smoking quality and efficiency. With this innovative unit, both cold and warm/hot smoking become an effective, and stylish, way to smoke like a pro.
You can mount this smoke generator to both large and small smokers — steel, wooden or masonry.
Tested with a 300 L smoker.
Patented by Browin.
Made in Poland.
The generator can be mounted on either side of the smoker, as needed.
The smoke generator comes with a black electric pump rated at 5 W and delivering 2x3.5 L/min.
A smart, patented design combines a compact footprint with high output, low chip consumption, and the ability to adjust smoke volume via the pump — tailored to your needs and the capacity of the smoking chamber. The smoke generator is made of high-quality stainless steel, so you can use it in various weather conditions. The cylinder closes with a wooden lid that ensures proper smoke circulation and protects the chips as they smolder — including from moisture. The long hose (4 m) can be cut to the lengths you need to connect the pump to the generator’s nozzle.
Filling the generator to the top provides a continuous smoke supply for about 3–5 hours without adding more chips. You can use different chip grades in this smoke generator, but we recommend chips sized 8–12 mm for the best smoke effect inside your smoker.
Innovative extended nozzle — perfect for smokers with thicker walls (up to 15 cm), e.g., masonry builds. The nozzle is beveled on both ends — one end at an angle that helps smoke exit into the smoker, and the other at an angle that prevents chip clogging. It enters the smoker at the optimal angle to increase the flow of smoke from the smoldering chips. The nozzle passes through only part of the chip combustion chamber, which ensures ideal smoke draw while protecting the nozzle from clogging during smoldering.
The ash pan significantly streamlines and simplifies use. It allows the generator to run continuously from start to finish without stopping to remove ash from spent chips. Thanks to its design, the ash pan also lets you regulate air supply through the cylinder’s side openings, helping prevent over-smoldering of the chips.
The efficient pump mounted on an extended base transfers vibrations to the hopper body, improving chip flow during smoldering and boosting smoking efficiency. Precise control of smoke output helps prevent your products from turning sour.
The smoke generator’s design makes assembly, disassembly and cleaning easy and fast. You can take the unit apart and clean it without unscrewing the base from the smoker and without any tools.
Openings at the bottom of the cylinder make lighting the chips easy and ensure proper oxygen supply. To regulate airflow, set the ash pan so the two vertical side blades partially cover the cylinder’s inspection viewports. By limiting airflow, you’ll prevent excessive chip smoldering.
In Browin’s range you’ll find wood chips tailored to specific foods — perfect for smoking meats, fish or cheeses.
Note! Use only dry chips (max. moisture content no more than 11%). Using chips that are too wet will disrupt or even prevent the smoke generator from working properly.
Before using the smoke generator, read the user manual included in the set. Also read the dragON Air pump connection and operating instructions supplied in the pump’s separate packaging.
Cleaning: After every smoking session, clean the generator — especially the interior — so it’s fully ready for next time and ensures proper smoke flow. Do not use sharp tools that could damage any part of the device.

Tip — which smoking method should you choose?
Smoking methods:
Cold smoking: Usually done at up to 25⁰C and lasts from a few hours to 14 days. Adjust smoke density as needed. The typical smoke flow rate should be 6–15 m/min. This method is mainly used for products intended for long storage or aging, as the smoke penetrates deeply and preserves slowly. Foods smoked this way dry evenly. Cold smoking also gives excellent results for long-term maturation.
Warm/hot smoking: This exposes the product to smoke above 25⁰C. There are two commonly accepted upper limits: up to about 45⁰C is called warm smoking, and up to 60⁰C is hot smoking. For hot smoking, you can finish the products with a bake right in the smoker by raising the chamber temperature to 80–90⁰C.
Smoking with a finishing bake: For the baking stage, you can disconnect the smoke generator and apply heat only.
No matter which method you choose, remember smoking is the final step — the foundation is proper product prep and very thorough drying before smoking (or pre‑drying in the smoker). This is a key stage that improves quality and prevents souring.
