Will it work with certain type of smoker? This will work on any existing grill, smoker, or any application where the cold smoker can be mounted to a vertical wall.
Can the product use sawdust or wood pellets? The cold smoker cannot use sawdust and we do not recommend pellets due to the poor quality smoke it produces. We highly recommend using wood chips and larger wood chunks for best results.
It is easy to install? Yes, this is very easy to install. It only requires drilling a 1-1/8” hole into the side of your application, as low as possible, and attaches using the provided washers and lock nuts. (Replace precision aluminum picture with 10 years picture)

Questions about Smoke Daddy Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator
Q:
Hi, is your smoke generator ce/ul/etl certified?
Answer: The air pump is CE certified. As best I can tell, the canister has no such certification and I would guess none are required as it only contains the wood chips.
Answer: I don’t know. But if you’re worried about electric components, the only thing that is plug in is the small air pump. This air pump is no larger than one used in a small aquarium.
Q:
Can this be attached to a wood smoking shed?
Answer: I suppose it could though you’d want to be careful to insulate the inlet pipe if it’s passing through wood since it gets very hot. Also, the capacity might be an issue as this only provides enough smoke for a medium sized smoker and then only for about 30 min per fill.
Answer: I don't see why not as long as you consider the heat of the smoke tube. It gets very hot.
Answer: Yes it can be used in a smoker shed
Answer: You can attach to any given survace base on the thickness of the materials employed.
Answer: I don' think it It would hold enough chips. It makes a lot of smoke but would need to be filled often
Answer: Im going to say yes as long as its not going to be a fire hazard and you have a place to put your pump out of the weather. I would get the biggest one they have though.
Answer: Yes
Q:
Where is it made?
Answer: This is 100% made in the USA.
Answer: USA made
Q:
I am considering this but I’m a little scared to drill a hole in the side of my new $950 Traeger. Is it easy to drill through the sidewall with a sta
Answer:
Answer:
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: I felt the exact same way about drilling a hole in my brand new Traeger, but I've never regreted it. I installed it in front of my hopper below the grate line for easy access and monitoring. It works fantastic for smoking meats, but I especially like it for cold smoking cheeses and salmon. Plus, you can use the Traeger without it with no issue.
Answer: I have mine on Aluminum gas grill. The aluminum was easy to drill.
Q:
How long is the outlet morning tube. That is how thick of a service will it goes through as I am planning on moaning it to a homemade refrigerator smo
Answer: About three feet long, and quite thick. It would be no problem to replace with whatever length you needed. Tubing is readily available at hardware or pet stores.
Q:
Is the only difference in the different models the canister size? Does one provide more smoke than the other?
Answer: Yes, I have the Big Kahuna that I setup on my 3 burner Frontline BBQ grill from Costco. I do 14-16lb Bristket with no problems, more than enough smoke.
Answer: Yes the canister is larger... and produces smoke longer... and xN fill a larger capacity smoker, but if you are building a smaller unit then that should suffice. I make cold smokers with these units out of wine boxes or add them to gas bbqs to add that much needed smoke.
Answer: They all put out the same amount of smoke. The larger ones just hold more wood chips and chunks. Thanks -Liz
Q:
How do I get replacement parts for the Big Daddy cold smoker?
Answer: Go to smokedaddyinc.com and find
Answer: Have you contacted the manufacturer? There website should have a link for parts.
Answer: contact manufacturer
Q:
How many watts is the air pump ?
Answer: 4W. It is a Chinese company brand name Luby model AP-9803.
Q:
Does the cold smoke generator or the heavy-D diffuser produce better smoke? Not quantity but quality smoke.
Answer: It is best smoker I ever used awesome product!!!
Answer: Yes
Q:
Any problems using this on a green mountain with the pellet fan ?
Answer: You can use the Smoke Daddy on anything that you can mount it on. You just have to drill a hole to place it through. It could be a task can. It doesn't matter. As far as a pellet fan, as long as it would blow through the approximately 1/4" air tube that is connected to the Smoke Daddy, it would be fine. If not, I would use a cheap variable pressure aquarium pump like Smoke Daddy supplies in their kit. The unit works great and will give you more than enough smoke for anything. Sometimes I don't even use the pump/fan because it will put out enough smoke without it. Hope this helps.
Q:
will this alone create enough heat for a smoke daddy fridge smoker without using other heat source for 120 degree cold smoking?
Answer: There is not enough heat, in fact basically none. I have the Big Kahuna attached to an old Costco 3 burner grill, so no insulation or controlled air enclosure (apples vs oranges). You might get some heat with an insulated enclosure. Also, figure 20 mins max of smoke unless using thick chunks, not near long enough for consistent temps as a solo source. I run my pump at Mid setting. It makes smoke like CRAZY!
Answer: I can't definitively answer your question, because I've never used it in that configuration. I installed this unit in an insulated vertical LP smoker, and it does not seem to heat the interior of my smoker cabinet very much at all.
Q:
Can it be used on a traeger
Answer: Yes this will work on your Traeger
Answer: Yes, it can be used on any BBQ or smoker. It just adds the smoke to the cooking chamber, not heat, so you control the amount of smoke you want.
Answer: Yes, this is what my husband uses on his traeger and he really likes it.
Answer: Yes. Just make sure to mount it in front of the hopper, underneath the cooking grates.
Q:
Can i get a longer outlet tube if needed?
Answer: Yes, hardware or pet stores. The air pump is for aquariums.
Q:
Do you sell any cold smoke generator that can go on 5 hours or longer on single load ?
Answer: that would be awesome but i dont think the sell one that big.
Q:
Use with rec tech?
Answer: You can use the smoke daddy with anything all you need to do is drill a hole put the smoke daddy in and your good to go. It's cold smoke your rec tech will give the heat and your daddy will give the smoke. I put mine in a treager big difference between pellets and wood chunks that's what I put in my daddy. I would buy the biggest one I thought I was than realized there was one bigger it will smoke longer
Answer: Yes I have had many people use it with a rec Tech
Answer: Yes
Q:
How long does a full load of pellets lasts. Anyone tried chunks instead of pellets? Thanks.
Answer: Hi a full load of pellets will last about 4 hrs. Actually I recommend using wood chunks and chips. They wont last as long but you will get a better quality of smoke. Using wood chunks and chips it will burn for about 1 to 1 1/2 hrs on a full load.
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: I do not use the spring shaped baffle and only pellets. I get about an hour to an hour and a half. I have not used chunks since the chamber is not large enough to use them easily. When I use chips the fuel lasts about a half hour. I 'll add the chips create messy creosote in the air tube. After a lot of experimentation, I personally use just pellets and it works well.
Q:
Has anyone used this product on a Cuban oven?
Answer: Not really sure what a Cuban oven is. This product is easy to use, reliable, and pours enough smoke out for my commercial application!
Q:
what is the spring for in the smoke daddy?
Answer: It allows air to flow to the bottom of the device and it works great!! When filling the Smoke Daddy with pellets try not to let any get inside that spring.
Answer: To keep an airway open between the bottom smoltering mass and the top. Without the spring the wood chips could align such that there is no air flow.
Answer: The spring is to provide separation down into the wood chips so they get air to burn
Answer: Air flow; if you use material (some pellets) that are too dense you'll have difficulty keeping it going. At least in my experience.
Answer: It is for air flow. It can go anywhere inside just put your wood chips around it.
Answer: It simply created space or an air pocket for your wood chips so that there is good air flow
Answer: It provides air flow through the chamber and keeps things lit.
Answer: Allows air thru the chips and helps prevent bridging
Answer: That is to give ventilation to the pellets. Help the pellets burn better
Q:
How long is the warranty?
Answer: I don't know.it sure puts out alot of smoke.
Q:
Can it be used on the pit bosses
Answer: Yes it will fit your Pit Boss
Answer: Mark - Yes you can use it with any type of smoker......I had a propane smoker which I used mine on, but sold it since then......I use an Oklahoma Joe smoker now, I don't need it with this on but you could if you wanted.....
Answer: Yes it will fit on your Pit boss.
Answer: I put mine in a treager and it works good
Q:
will it work with 220V?
Answer: We do offer 220V air pumps. Just put in the note to seller that you would like the 220V pump. Thank you -Liz
Answer: The pump supplied will not. However, it’s just a standard fish aquarium pump so your local pet store should have a 220v version. The important parts of the kit are all the custom canister and fittings for the smoke.
Answer: No, its an aquarium pump that uses U.S 115 volts. You could find an Aquarium pump that uses 220.
Answer: No not the pump that comes with it. Its 120v
Q:
Smoke daddy's web sight said you need a special part for the green mountain pellet grill what's the part
Answer: Hi Using it on a green mountain you may need an extra pump with a T fitting to run 2 pumps The green Mountain makes back pressure. Sometimes you can crack the lid a littel to reduce the back pressure and you can use 1 pump.
Q:
What is the temp of the smoke when being used for cold smoking?
Answer: The smoke coming out of this unit will not raise the ambient temperature of your smoker.
Answer: When I cold smoke, i usually don't go over 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Answer: About 5 degrees above ambient
Q:
Is it easy to insall, can it be set up to be moved between 2 different appliances?
Answer: Standard installation is easy requiring a step drill bit to make the correct hole in the grill. The threaded tube, washers and nuts hold it in place.
Answer: You probably could, but it won’t be easy or quick. Especially once you’ve used it awhile and all the pipe threads are hooped up and sooty. I would not try it.
Answer: You'll need to cut a 1 inch circular hole in your appliance to attach the smoker. I cut the pipe that emits the smoke into the appliance in half, and used a plumbing union and a short pipe nipple to allow me to easily transfer smoker from one appliance to another.
Answer: All it takes to install is a hole that you drill, yes it could be moved from one unit to another easily as long as it is installed in a convenient location.
Answer: Super easy to install.
Answer: It’s pretty much a permanent install. You have to cut a hole in your smoker and mount this in the hole with the supplied hardware.
Answer: Yes it's simple really. Drill a hole stick it in and put the retaining nut on
Q:
Does this product support 110/220v power?
Answer: We do have the 220v pumps available upon request
Answer: The Smoke Daddy requires no power whatsoever.
Answer: 110 power
Answer: just 110
Answer: 110v for the pump or you can use the smoke daddy by itself.
Answer: No electricity needed. It's simply a container that you fill with chips and burn. No fan.
Q:
Does this unit come with the adjustable air pump?
Answer: Yes, you will not be disappointed :). We have attached it to our SS BBQ and use it all the time. The wood chucks only last 20-30 mins, that is the only bummer. Still love it cause reloading is easy and if you use seasoned wood there is no buildup. You will not regret buying this if you set it up as instructed. You must have a verticle surface perpendicular to the grill so that when Smoke Daddy is attached the smoke comes in under the grill.
Answer: Hi Yes it comes with the adjustable air pump
Answer: Yes, it does......It is a fish tank air pump.....You'll love it, it works great.....Only thing is when you use it again it has a black tar which makes the lid hard to take off....But I would buy it again......Ron
Answer: Yes it does. I have purchased 8 units to date and it produces a lot of smoke and burns clean. The air pump is adjustable to help control the amount of smoke
Answer: yes works great for the first container of chips on high have to reload many times the more you reload the more trouble it is to keep burning
Answer: yes and this smoker works Great
Answer: Yes it does
Q:
Is it good to smoke peppers? Any experience?
Answer: Have never done any, but anything you can smoke in your smoker should be fine with the smoke daddy. We generally just do meats.
Answer: me 73 experience 50 yrs even build my own yes good for peppers when it works would not buy again
Answer: I attached mine to my Traeger to get a better smoke profile. I tried chips, chunks, pellets and charcoal with the same results. I get an abundance of nasty creosote in my smoker and on whatever I'm smoking. The concept is ingenious and the product is well made. I just couldn't get it to work as advertised. I would not purchase again.
Q:
Can you use this for hot smoking? If so, how?
Answer: Hi yes you can use it for hot or cold smoking. For hot smoking just attach it to your regular grill. Light your grill till your desired temperature. Then like to smoke Daddy and the Smoke Daddy will provide the extra smoke you are looking for. Thanks Dennis
Answer: this is great for hot or cold smoking. Here's a good tip. make sure the stream of smoke is not directly over your food it will be too much smoke on your meats. Like previous answer make sure it's lower part of smoker.
Answer: Yes, this is for hot or cold smoking.....Put it in the lower part of your smoker and smoke as usual and add wood chips or pellets to the smoke generator...... Works grate.....It's a good buy.....Ron
Q:
What is the spring baffle used for and where does it get installled?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: Put the spring in and fill with chips /pellets .
Answer: Not really a baffle per se. The spring separates the charcoal briquettes and wood pellets to allow proper air flow. Pellets produce way more smoke than wood chunks by the way! I use my big Kahuna in a commercial application and couldn’t be happier with it!
Answer: The spring goes inside the cylinder any which way and the wood chips go in covering it. It is for air flow. I love my Smoke Daddy. It works great for cold smoking cheese.
Q:
Is this big enough to supply a 2'x4'x5' Internal smoke chamber?
Answer: Yes it will provide plenty of smoke for you smoker
Answer: Yes it will provide plenty of smoke for you smoker
Answer: Easily
Q:
Would any of you recommend this for the small treager junior grill? I'm thinking this is way to much volume, but I ask the current owners.
Answer: Hi Brad, yes I would either recommend the Big Kahuna or the 8 Inch cold smoker. The biggest difference is smoking time. The big kahuna will smoke for about 1 1/2 hours on 1 fill and the the 8 Inch will last 45min on 1 fill. They do come with an adjustable air pump in order to dial down the smoke output. Either one would work great for the Traeger Jr. The Big Kahuna is our most popular size.
Answer: I have a regular smoker - not a pellet grill/smoker so I've not used a Treager Jr grill. The Smoke Daddy works great and you can control the amount of smoke with the amount of wood chips and the volume of air flowing from the aquarium pump.
Answer: The unit has a volume control so you can greatly reduce the air flow. Personally I usually want max smoke so I run at max vol. If you are thinking of a smoke generator I think you will be satisfied with this unit.
Answer: Absolutely! Make sure you "burn it off" first. This unit will allow you to "cold smoke" food - like cheeses that can't take the heat. Also - it will provide smoke augmentation for your treager! Think of it as - more smoke when you need/want it - leave it off when you dont!
Answer: Brad, This smoke generorator will put out as small of smoke as you may want or as large as you want......If you use it like they say......I love mine....I will say one thing make sure you have flowing smoke and not block it in as that is not good.....Good Luck........Ron
Answer: First of all, I guess I dont understand why you want a smoke generator on a pellet grill. The pellet grill should put out plenty of smoke on its own.
Answer: This unit puts out a lot of smoke. I have a large cabinet smoker and had to increase the size of vents. Too much smoke is not good!
Q:
can you install one on a weber 4 burner gas grill, and does it have to be installed on top or bellow burners
Answer: I don't think it matters gas grill or not, because all it does is generate smoke. I would think the lower the better as to recirculate up and out. It might possibly work better below as the creosote is burnt before it attaches to your food. I have had a very negative experience using this with my Traeger. I've tried chips , chunks, charcoal and pellets to only find much creosote build up inside my Traeger and on the meat. I've played with it as suggested by the inventor to maintain " a little fire". I have yet to get the smoke profile I want.
Q:
What type size of tubing is used to connect air pump?
Answer: The tubing is silicone and comes with the smoker.
Answer: 1/8 in ID silicone tubing
Answer: 1/8 "clear tubing
Answer: Small like a fish tank. It comes with it
Answer: 1/4” silicone
Q:
What is the length and diameter of the smoke output tube?
Answer: It is 4" long and you will need to drill a 1 1/8" hole to mount it. Thank you
Q:
With what does the wood burn ? Does it have a resistance?
Answer: You light a fire inside the unit.
Q:
How would you mount it on a ceramic grill like big green egg / kamado joe ?
Answer: That won’t work unfortunately. You would likely destroy the grill.
Q:
How do you control the temperature?
Answer: You really don't control the temperature, it is possible to control it some by how much air flow you allow from the pump but basically it is just designed to let the chips smolder and blow smoke into a cabinet you have the meat in.
Answer: This is just for smoke, you don't control temperature.
Answer: This device supplies smoke only, not heat. It provides smoke to your cooking chamber, whatever kind it is. I adapted mine to my Gas BBQ Grill.
Q:
Produces great smoke, but on my first try i had a bit of creosote (bitter taste) any tips on what my airflow setting should be at?
Answer: I’m not aware of anyway to adjust the airflow. I use pecan pellets exclusively and have not had any problems. You do have to clean the door out of the smoke tube before each use. Great smoke quality. and flavor.
Answer: Research the art of smoking
Answer: It is very easy to give it too much smoke. Set the pump on low
Answer: I mix hickory wood chips and pellets in mine and run the air full power. I had to upgrade air pump. Mine is installed on Green Mountain grill. I only use as a cold smoker
Q:
Is the output hose size 1" like the magnum? Or smaller?
Answer: Hi It is the same size outlet tube as the magnum.
Q:
Is the air pump included in this package?
Answer: Yes, the air pump was included in this package.
Answer: I bought the Big Kahuna and the air pump came with it. It appears from the picture above that the air pump is with it. You'll love this unit. It made my Weber Genesis into quite the smoker! Great product.
Answer: Hi Rick
Answer: Yes, the pump is included and all the hose and fittings. The fittings are installed, all you have to do is slip the silicon tubing on the pump and smoke generator fittings.
Answer: Yes. The blue air pump in the picture came with it.
Answer: some are and some are not read you package carefully.
Answer: Yes. All you need is a hole saw to mount the unit to the side of your smoker. If you really like smoked food you will love this unit.
Answer: Yes, it is and you will love it, it works great......Ron
Answer: Yes and it is variable speed. Runs for long periods with no problems so far.
Answer: Yes
Product reviews of Smoke Daddy Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator
Bytored : Doesnt work with Green Mountain grills.
Doesnt work with Green Mountain grills. To much back pressure which pushes the smoke OUT of the grill back through the Smoke Daddy
Chef Biswanger : GREAT
This is the ultimate solution to adding a smoker option to your grill or to any closed container. You could take a metal trash can and make a great cold smoker with this. I added one to my Big Green Egg…why you ask, to allow smoking at temperatures below 100° F.! This allows the smoking of cheese, salt, fruits and veggies as well as making lox from salmon. I have added a SmokeDaddy to a full size commercial combi oven. This allowed me to offer smoked foods on my menu like; TRUE smoked ribs, brisket and chicken! It is so simple to install, drill the hole, screw in the pipe from the smoker chamber and you are done. As to fuel, it can use chips and or pellets. I like to mix those two. If I use straight pellets, I mix in a few small pieces (3/8”) of charcoal with the pellets to help them burn better. You will not believe the amount of smoke this thing produces…take it from a professional chef, it’s awesome!

Jimmy T : I highly recommend spending the money for this unit
I can say without a doubt, the Big Kahuna is the only way to go. I have quit using the wood box in the smoker completely. The Big Kahuna gives me total control of the smoke level.
The Big Kahuna has totally opened my possibilities of use for my smoker, due to the little to no heat produced. I am able to cold smoke without worry.
I highly recommend spending the money for this unit.

Just used this for the first time last weekend to smoke turkey breasts. Worked fabulous! Definitely added a better smoked flavor as opposed to using our smoker without it.
chris martz : This thing smokes.
Attached it to my smoker, filled it with chips, lit it and holy smokes (pun intended) I thought the fire department would come. Super easy to use and all the smoke you could want. 5 STARS
Ron : but what I have I love
I haven't used it much, but what I have I love it……Ron
David Travis : White smoke
Can't get it to give blue smoke just a creosote white smoke leave a bad flavor on the food save your money go another route
Geek1 : Fantastic!!!
I bought this to add to my portable indirect heat charcoal pig roaster to add smoke flavor. All I can say is "Yes please"! It worked fantastic and delivered enough smoke to flavor the 50 lbs pig I roasted! A+ in my book! I also had an issue with my order and they took care of me about as fast as I could blink!! #HugeFan
albert v. pena : Big Kahuna works great!!
The smoke daddy big kahuna works perfect on my GMG Jim Bowie. I've cooked brisket and St. Louis ribs and the smoke daddy gave them that wood smoke taste that I was looking for. Filling the big kahuna with wood chips will give you approximately one hour of smoke. You will have to smoke the meat while the fan is not running, ex. get the temperature to 250 degrees and then drop the temperature to 200, this will stop the fan from running in the GMG, pushing the smoke back out the bottom of your smoke daddy, this is the Only drawback. I did not mount mine in front of the controllers, but on the other side of the pellet hopper.

PBW : You will love the amount of smoke that this things generates.
What a great addition to my Pellet Pro or many other manufactured grills. This is very well constructed, the installation was very easy and only requires a 1 1/16" hole to be drilled on the lower half of your grill/smoker.
I wouldn't end my review without a shout out to Dennis, Dan and Liz; all very professional people who are totally about providing excellent customer support.
I loaded my Big Kahuna up with some hickory just to try it out............WOW, it is amazing and the amount of smoke is incredible. I expected to hear sirens from the local fire station there was so much smoke. If you don't have one and are looking for a way to get additional smoke then you have to consider this cold smoker. I am very glad I ordered this.

K. Valentine : Update on cleaning the Smoke Daddy
I have a Big Kahuna and it works great. I like less smoke and therefore prefer to smoke for a longer time. I think the real thick smoke can generate too much tar and creosote. I don't mind adding more chips every hour or so.
The unit will have to be cleaned occasionally as some smoke tars condense on the walls and on the ventilation spring. And being the tars are hydrocarbons, they don't dissolve in water. I found the very best way to clean the unit it to use a liquid drain cleaner which is lye or sodium hydroxide. I use a cheap plastic bottle brush and a tall glass jar filled with drain cleaner. Dip in the bottle brush and swish it around the unit and the tars dissolve instantly. You can do this in your kitchen sink and the liquids that are washed off will serve to help keep the drains clear.
CLEANING UPDATE:. I used it twice in the last few days - once for cold-smoked salmon and once for bacon. There unit ran for about 12 hours without cleaning . There was quite a bit of wood tar in the body, on the ventilation spring and on the top cap. The approach above was dissolving the tar, but wasn't too fast as the build-up was thick. But the drain cleaner does a good job in cutting thru the tar. So I decided to let the cleaner do the work by letting the Smoke Daddy soak in it. I took off all the parts including the venturi hooked up to the air pump, and soaked it lying sideways in an inexpensive clear plastic shoe box. As a chemical engineer, there is a slight chemical reaction between the aluminum body and the lye, but it will not harm the very thick walls of the smoke daddy. They will be a slight surface color change. After it sits in the drain cleaner a few hours, the tars are mostly dissolved and what's left can be easily removed with the stainless steel brush that comes with the unit.
As there's still cleaning power in the used drain cleaner, I'll pour what's left into our sink drains to keep them clear.
See photo.
The unit will have to be cleaned occasionally as some smoke tars condense on the walls and on the ventilation spring. And being the tars are hydrocarbons, they don't dissolve in water. I found the very best way to clean the unit it to use a liquid drain cleaner which is lye or sodium hydroxide. I use a cheap plastic bottle brush and a tall glass jar filled with drain cleaner. Dip in the bottle brush and swish it around the unit and the tars dissolve instantly. You can do this in your kitchen sink and the liquids that are washed off will serve to help keep the drains clear.
CLEANING UPDATE:. I used it twice in the last few days - once for cold-smoked salmon and once for bacon. There unit ran for about 12 hours without cleaning . There was quite a bit of wood tar in the body, on the ventilation spring and on the top cap. The approach above was dissolving the tar, but wasn't too fast as the build-up was thick. But the drain cleaner does a good job in cutting thru the tar. So I decided to let the cleaner do the work by letting the Smoke Daddy soak in it. I took off all the parts including the venturi hooked up to the air pump, and soaked it lying sideways in an inexpensive clear plastic shoe box. As a chemical engineer, there is a slight chemical reaction between the aluminum body and the lye, but it will not harm the very thick walls of the smoke daddy. They will be a slight surface color change. After it sits in the drain cleaner a few hours, the tars are mostly dissolved and what's left can be easily removed with the stainless steel brush that comes with the unit.
As there's still cleaning power in the used drain cleaner, I'll pour what's left into our sink drains to keep them clear.

Darren L. : Great products and great customer support
Works great !
Vickie : Great product
Great smoker for the Traeger grill. Easy to put on and gives out plenty of smoke. Turned my husband from a Master griller into a Grand master smoker/griller...lol. Well that is my opinion any way. we recommend this if you like the smoky flavor in your meats or basically anything you smoke and grill.
Amazon Customer : Smokin'
Smoked a beef roast with pecan. Works great. LOTS OF SMOKE. Refill chips about every 1/2 hour.
Definitely recommend. Apple smoke a turkey next.

Kevin : The Best cold smoke generator
This thing is awesome. The best smoked cheese ive ever made. You do need to use wood chunks. I used oak whiskey barrel shreds and it burned it up quick. Im going to try a mix of pecan chunks and the oak shreds to see if i can get a slower longer burn. Its a well made made in the US smoke generator. Solid.
J Womelsdorff : My Kahuna finally fell apart...after about 8 years of heavy use
I loved it. Over the years I rethreaded the pipe, replaced the screen with a stainless mesh but it has just given too much to the BBQ Gods and will be buried in the back yard with honors.
I used my daughter's nebulizer air pump after she didn't need it anymore and I even bought a spare on ebay in case that pump went out but it never did. I have done everything with this thing, including bacon and smoked salmon. Smoke Daddy Rocks and I am buying another.

Been using it for a while and its great. Easy to set up and easy to use.

Jimmy T : I highly recommend spending the money for this unit
I can say without a doubt, the Big Kahuna is the only way to go. I have quit using the wood box in the smoker completely. The Big Kahuna gives me total control of the smoke level.
The Big Kahuna has totally opened my possibilities of use for my smoker, due to the little to no heat produced. I am able to cold smoke without worry.
I highly recommend spending the money for this unit.

Amazon Customer : Love it
Works as advertised
JEFFERY K HUNTER : Exactly what I was looking for, provides the volume of smoke needed to make authentic smoke BBQ in a propane grill!
Installation involved more work than I first thought. I had fixed shelves on both ends of STAINLESS STEEL propane BBQ. The unit would not install as required in the back as I had first hoped. Ended up cutting 4x4" square out of end shelf to install. Turned out better than expected! 1st use of unit not what I expected but noticed smoke was "leaking" out backside of chamber. Had to add a panel of sheet metal to reduce opening to cooking chamber but was easy to do. Smoke volume is enormous! Completely fills cooking chamber. If you are a "fixit" type you can add to anything and boy is it worth it! I can now cold smoke in my BBQ! I cold smoke all burgers and steaks before grilling now and the taste is incredible! Worth every dollar spent! This thing works as advertised. Have the Big Kahuna and wood chunks from local store smokes for 30 mins. Just lift top and add more to keep smoke goingI I ndisagree with other reviews regarding cleanup. Build-up is no different than other smokers I've used and keeping it "like new" is a waste of time. The only piece that needs an occasional "brush" is the port in the brass colored elbow that provides air from pump to increase smoke volume. Also in my BBQ The smoke inlet is below the burners by 3/4" and works just as well with burners on or off so don't know why they say it needs to be even or above. My BBQ is 20+ yrs old SS rectangular propane unit so maybe other designs have issues? If you want clean smoke flavor the same as the big boys this is what you are looking for, works for me! The only requirement is you must have a verticle section of panel at least 1-1/2" to mount to, will not work as intended if you try to mount to a sloped surface.

Just used this for the first time last weekend to smoke turkey breasts. Worked fabulous! Definitely added a better smoked flavor as opposed to using our smoker without it.
Robert A. DeLisle : Great smoker to add to any style of cooker
This is a great smoker that works exactly as described. You can call and talk directly to the owner for very friendly and free advice. As a BBQ judge and cook, I can tell you that it does an exceptional job with smoking your food and is super easy to install on just about any set-up. Very satisfied customer here and highly recommend to all!
Amazon Customer : Nice construction.
Bart : Too small
Great product. Too small and goes through the chips quickly. I used silver high temp tape to cover 3 of the 4 hols in the lower lid cover to slow the air flow and that helped a bunch. Spend the extra money and get the biggest one you can it would be worth it in the end.

Works Great!
Tim B : I hate to give it a bad review as I had ...
I have used the Big Kahuna Smoke Generator more than a dozen times now. I have it set up to my Traeger lil tex. I have used small chips, chunks, and pellets as well as charcoal chunks. I've tended the fire to no avail and the results have been the same... gray smoke white smoke and creosote. I've adjusted the pump in hopes of getting a different result. It seems that ash will build up in the bottom above the screen so you need to tap on the side to get it to fall out or push a screw driver in from the top to drive it out. I have left the bottom cap off to help with the ash build up.
The product is well built and the idea really makes sense. I hate to give it a bad review as I had hoped it would really help the Traegers inability to provide a little heavier smoke.
I'm open to ideas ??

Ray928 : Read Carefully So You Know ...
I lie! Sorry, but I wanted to get your attention. My overall rating is really ONE STAR. Mind what I say:
I got this for Christmas but just finally got it installed and ready to use; I wanted the biggest one, but got this one (about 11" tall). First: It was difficult to install; they should have made it for a common 1" hole instead of an odd size 1&1/8" hole, so I had to buy a special bit, then drilling thru 1/4" steel plate was hard. Second: I think the ads are misleading: I expected to be able to start it up and have it make smoke a long time with little attention; however, as it turned out, it burns through wood chips very fast, even with the air pump set on low. This required checking it at least every 30 minutes to add fuel. Third: I used wood chips and had difficulty with the chips hanging up (clogging) inside and not falling down to burn so the fire would go out and had to be restarted several times. It really needs a larger inside diameter. Forth: after a while the bottom cap fills with ash and stops up the air holes, so again the fire goes out. When it was working it did produce a lot of smoke so I was pleased with that, however, overall this does not make my smoking job easier than doing it the old way (keeping water soaked wood chunks around the edges of my charcoal fire).
Alas, $100++ down the tube and I can't return it because it has been too long, it is dirty, and I have a 1&1/8" hole in the side of my pit.

Coffeedad : Love that smoker
Smoked cheese and meat and cheese roll ups and the taste was great.
Arturo : This is an amazing addition to any pellet or gas grill
This is an amazing addition to any pellet or gas grill. I am using mine on a pellet grill which will not smoke if the temp is taken off the "smoke" setting. This gadget solves that problem. It delivered great smoke flavor with minimal effort. Just make sure to clean this regularly or your food could come out bitter...
chris martz : This thing smokes.
Attached it to my smoker, filled it with chips, lit it and holy smokes (pun intended) I thought the fire department would come. Super easy to use and all the smoke you could want. 5 STARS
Ryan Hughes : Easy to install, easier to use, great flavor every time
The Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro controller & upgrade kit is awesome. It turned a low-end pellet grill into an amazing smoker. I have had it about a year and a half, and it beautifully performs every time. The temperature control is precise, and it was relatively easy to install. I also ordered the Big Kahuna cold smoker and it too was an easy install and really makes adding smoke super quick and easy. Dan at Smoke Daddy was super responsive when I contacted him about retrofitting my existing grill before purchasing as well as when I had questions later. They turned a frustrated back-yard cook into a pro. Thanks Smoke Daddy!!
T B : Great product

This thing is awesome! It only took me about 10minute total to install it on my smoker. It really puts out the smoke. I am very well satisfied with it. I actually have to be careful not to get too much smoke in the cabinet.
Robert A. Purvis : Best purchase ever!
Buy it! NOW!
Demetrio Zago : great addition to your BBQ
great product, turns your BBQ into a fantastic smoker, just got to keep up with frequently adding wood chips which in my case I don't mind since I love to hang around the smoker while is cooking.
Bytored : Doesnt work with Green Mountain grills.
Doesnt work with Green Mountain grills. To much back pressure which pushes the smoke OUT of the grill back through the Smoke Daddy
MoneyCometh : Black tar build up.
Creates black tar substance in side and very hard to clean it out.
