Smoke Daddy Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator Uses Your Choice of Fuels

Works as advertised. Awesome build quality! Great instructions. Would definitely recommend to any one wanting to add smoke to their grill or smoker.

The media could not be loaded.  The quality of the product is incredible and easy to install on my pellet grill.Once started you get a ton of smoke which is great for a pellet grill since they aren't producing a ton usually. So now I can do cold smoking or add more smoke to my hot smoking!

I did not open the box. I read a lot of reviews and did not like some of them. I need a smoker that would smoke for about 4 hours and a lot more smoke.

Finally, I can get great smoke in my Weber Genesis gas grill. The grill is great, but every way I tried before to get decent smoke failed. The Big Kahuna solved that problem. Now I can get an hour or so of smoke from chips and chunks while cooking meats or I can leave the burners all off and cold smoke using just the Big Kahuna. In other words, it makes the smoke independent from the grill burners. You can use either heat or smoke or both.This opens up a whole new set of possibilities. Now I can even slow-cook ribs for hours and get lots of smoke flavor. Previously, to get smoke it required at least one of the burners to be on strongly and that is too much heat for something like ribs. Problem solved!The air pump works well as a boost to getting the smoke started and to control the burn inside the Big Kahuna.You can add more wood while smoking but you may want a pliers to take off the top as the knob on the top can get too hot to handle.Keep the knob that locks the bottom in place tight or the bottom and sparks could fall to the ground. I would not use this device over flammable surfaces without some protection and continual monitoring. Eventually I will fasten a metal drip pan close under the smoker to catch anything that falls and that should make it safer.This installed very easily in the Genesis by drilling a 1 1/8" hole in the aluminum back of the grill between two of the flavor bars near the center. It is at a very slight angle, but that is no problem.

It definitely makes smoke. So far I have had a problem regulating the amount of smoke it puts out. I can adjust it between a lot of smoke and really a lot of smoke. So far I have used a mix of wood pellets and wood chips. It burns down in about 30 minutes. This was my biggest disappointment. "Big Kahuna" sort of implies it was going to last a longer time. I can't imagine how long the smaller units would last. It puts out so much smoke that my cold smoke efforts have been a flop. It tastes like I'm eating cheese recovered from a building fire. I now use mostly to complement my Weber WSM with the "Big Daddy Pellet Pro." The Pellet Pro has a fan that keeps the pellets burning, it also pressurizes the grill. The Big Kahuna has to be turned up high enough to overcome this pressure, which is basically high. So the wood chips burn down very quickly. After all the effort the food comes out delicious when I am hot smoking. I keep thinking there is something I can do to get a moderate amount of smoke and have the fuel last more than 30 minutes, but haven't gotten there yet. The unit needs to be cleaned between uses but I don't do all that the instructions say. I just poke a long screw driver through all orifices and scrape out the creosote and I'm good to go. I would recommend it to a smoker enthusiast but it's less than advertised.
