Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator w/ Big Green Egg Adapter

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!!

I was looking to add smoke to my beloved pellet smoker. I love my Camp Chef Woodward smoker but it wasn't producing the smoke that i wanted but love the temperature control it has. So I researched for a product to add and came across the Smoke Daddy. I had it up and running in 15 minutes and at the time of this review i have used it over 12 times. I love it, it has brought the smoke ring back to my ribs and pulled pork. It is so easy to use, I put maybe 5-6 pieces of charcoal in it and light it with a torch. It takes maybe 1.5 minutes to light the charcoal and i put wood chips on it and go. The first time i used it i used more charcoal than needed and it got very hot (of course) but had no issues with it. I refill it on an average of once an hour. Just lift the top and drop in a handful of wood chips. It has not clogged on me, but can tell after about 5 uses it needs to be cleaned. (some might say sooner) The only little issue is that i had intended to permanently install the pump to the leg of the smoker but it would place the hose directly on the generator. I'm concerned It would melt. So I'm working on a way to do so without it touching the generator.If you can't tell, I highly recommend this for any pellet grill.

I love to hate this. For one, the price is insane for what you get. On the other hand, my Traegar now produces some of the most amazing smokes ever. The thing can make a Traegar smoke taste like an all offset. Ribs will never be the same and burgers are out of the world with this. So if you want offset taste with out having an offset hobby, this is your toy.

Ease of installation and use

I love this thing. It really produces some nice smoke. It was a little tricky mounting it on my gas grill, but with some additional hardware to plumb through two panels(15" run) I am seeing very little heat at the grill. I even smoked some cheese on a 66 degree F morning and two hours later when pulling the cheese off the grill the chamber had only raised to 67 degrees. Now I can get the smoke regardless of cook temperature. I can remove it easily to store it or to use it elsewhere in just a couple minutes--- Like maybe that old refrigerator for a custom cold smoker or when the time comes to upgrade. Really nice product.
