Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator with Ceramic Grill Adapter – Heavy-Duty USA-Made Aluminum Body, Works with Ceramic BBQ & Pellet Grills – 1.5 hr Burn Time

I have used this smoke generator with my Pit Boss 850 for almost a month now with 6 cooks topping 8+ hours. I use high quality pellets that help with a better smokey flavor but this smoke generator takes it to a new level of smokiness. Not the bitter smoke flavor from a smoking tube but that of a clean smoke from unprocessed wood.It is a well build product. Easy to install and use (once you figure out how to properly start it up). Basic clean-up is quick. It needs a deeper cleaning after 3-4 long cooks. I love that most of it is made in the United States of America. Unfortunately some of the smaller parts like the bottom cap for example are made in China.After a little trial and error and online videos I learned when you want to pair this generator with a pellet smoker just run it for 30 - 45 minutes before you start to get clean smoke. I just started the smoke generator first then pre-heating my smoker.One more tip. Instructions say you should check the wood chips / chunks every 2 to 2 1/2 hours. But at the beginning of a smoke check it after an hour. Sometimes it burns through a lot of wood at the very beginning as it settles in. For me after the second wood refill it was going 3+ hours before needing for wood.

Would give this product 10 stars if I could. I’ve smoked meats for years with a “real” custom built refrigerator smoker built in Texas. My wife bought me a Traeger as a gift. I used it twice and was so thoroughly disgusted with the lack of smoke volume and flavor, I put it away in my garage and haven’t used it for 3 years - until today. I happened to stumble across the Smoke Daddy on Amazon. Did my research and it seemed to make sense and may give my Traeger a shot at actually being more than just a convenience grill. I installed it today and smoked a couple of whole chickens. The chickens came out perfectly. With the Smoke Daddy, I had continuous smoke - real smoke and flavor, not that pellet smoke where you think the meat may be smoked but you’re not sure. The Smoke Daddy is a total game changer. With it I get the convenience of thermostatically controlled temp and GREAT smoke flavor. I highly recommend.

Easy to install, well built, and great smoke volume. I would upgrade to the max PIG model if I could do it over again. The chips I tried burn really fast. I'm getting about 30 minutes just as is with the air pump set to a medium. I'll have to play with my setup a little. This is definitely an upgrade, I'll do a video when I use it again.I know I'm being a little bit of a perfectionist here. I'm using an Ironwood 885 and I put it in opposite of the fan (which it does say to avoid). But I'm planning on installing a section of brass pipe so it exhausts next to the pot. I might be dealing with some air siphoning through the drip chute, causing excessive burn. I'd also like to baffle the rear exhaust on it as the Traeger's airflow is a little too good sometimes.

Great product , bought it for my pellet grill , it is now a pellet smoker . Works better than I expected !!!

Easy to install and operate, I've smoked quite a bit of cheese and I'm very pleased with it!

Okay I was on the fence when I purchased this, I even tried to return it last second before it was shipped… I am so glad I didn’t do that!! This thing is awesome!! I was lacking the smoke flavor on my Traeger pro 34 and I thought this might fix that, and it did! I now have the same smoke flavor I was getting out of my offset stick burner!The Traeger runs smoothly with this installed no noticeable temp fluctuations from this. There is a bit of a learning curve with this. I think it’s much better to use lump charcoal first get that all burning nice and hot then add wood chunks chips and pellets if you want. It will make a nice steady blue smoke. It seems to burn longer than 2.1/2 hours as advertised. I’m getting more like 4 hours.Small issues. The knobs get piping hot and will burn you!! I ordered a new bigger heat resistant knob and that seems to work without burning me. Also there are holes on the bottom cover for ventilation which understandable for airflow. So if your on a wood deck you will need to add a bucket like I did in the pics to avoid hot coals falling on your wood deck. I just ordered another Traeger bucket and modified it. Also if you want to keep your Magnum Pig away from your smoker controller to avoid damaging it I suggest you buy/order a street 3/4 NPT 90/elbow. Also the 3/4 NPT nuts that come with it are electrical conduit nuts and don’t tighten much before stripping . So order beefier 3/4 NPT nuts to attach to your smoker. Don’t hesitate this thing is worth every penny!! Hope this helps!!

Let me start by saying I've used this for a couple of years so it isn't terrible. The biggest problems I have is it doesn't provide smoke for very long so you have to keep refilling it. The second issue is partly my own making. Since I was adapting this to an existing grill in an outdoor kitchen, I had to add 12" of galvanized pipe between the smoker and the grill. This gets plugged with creosote in about 60 minutes so I have to keep cleaning it. Also, creosote builds up on all the components which is hard to clean. Again, I continue to use it because it isn't terrible, but it is hard to use.

This is just what I needed to add to my gas grill. Note: If you read and follow "ALL" the information on the proper way to load the wood into the unit, you will not have any issues with the "Smoke Daddy Magnum P.I.G. Hot or Cold Smoke Generator."( I started by adding 1/3 lump hard wood charcoal to the bottom then I added my slected type of hardwood chips. Turned on the air pump then Lit the charcoal with a torch.) It worked like a champ for me. ENJOY the Smoke!!!
