Smoking Ovens & Home Smokers

The right smoking oven quietly turns your hob, oven or barbecue into a smokehouse in miniature, and the one you want depends entirely on how you like to cook. We stock the compact Kitchen Craft Stainless Steel Smoking Oven for a couple of fillets on the stovetop, smoker box gift sets for the barbecue, and the ProQ Original Cold Smoke Generator for cool, patient work. Weighing up which suits your kitchen? Our guide on choosing a smoking oven lays out the differences plainly.

Stovetop oven, smoker box or generator?

A sealed stovetop oven is the quickest route to hot-smoked fish indoors. Chips in the base, food on the rack, lid down, done in twenty-odd minutes. A smoker box does it differently, sitting on your existing BBQ grill so chips smoulder over the heat - the one to pick if you already barbecue. A cold smoke generator does a different job again, drifting cool smoke into any lidded cabinet for cheese and cured salmon. None is better than the others. They just suit different cooking.

Getting more out of your smoker

Most of our ovens arrive with a starter handful of chips, so you can light up the same evening, though matching the wood to the food is where it gets interesting. A look at our beginner's guide to home smoking covers timing and temperature for your first runs. If you'd rather have everything boxed together from the off, our starter kits pair a smoker with wood in one go. It's a tidy way to skip the shopping list.
