CHAPTER 05 · WOOD AND TASTEwhy a wooden cladding

The wooden cladding makes all the difference to the taste.

Wooden smokers are a tradition: long before us, this is exactly how people smoked. Wood breathes and holds the heat. The principle has stayed; the controls have been added.

Wooden Start smoker from the inside
Start from the insidereal wood, racks and smoking hooks
01

Less condensation above the food

Wood keeps the walls warm. That's why moisture doesn't collect in drops above the food, as it does on cold metal — it runs down the walls and out through the drain. Nothing drips from the ceiling onto meat or fish.

02

The product comes out more aromatic

Wood breathes and gently holds the smoke in the chamber. The product takes on a deep smoky aroma, and the taste stays clean — no bitterness, no streaks.

03

Looks good and feels natural

You can place the chamber in the garden or on the terrace — it looks like a piece of furniture there.

CHAPTER 06 · WHAT YOU'LL MAKEhot and cold · your taste

CHAPTER 07 · SAVING TIME4 reasons
Simple and straightforward

Saving time

You fill in the wood chips, hang up the food and spend the time with family or friends while the smoker prepares your favourite product.

1Start smoker from the inside

Chamber in stainless steel or wood

Easy to clean

Pine on the outside; linden or stainless steel inside, your choice. You save time to spend with family and kids: after smoking, the chamber is clean in ten minutes.

2External smoke generator

External smoke generator

Up to 16 hours of smoke

One fill of wood chips lasts up to 16 hours. You hang up the food, set the mode, fill in the chips and light them. After that, you have up to 16 hours for yourself or your family.

3Electric heating

Electric heating

Hot and cold smoking

You don't need to stand by the chamber the whole time. The electric heating holds up to 100 °C for hot smoking. For cold smoking, the heating element warms the chamber to 20 °C in winter.

4Controls of your choice

Controls of your choice

Display or switches

On the display you set the temperature and timer: as soon as the core temperature probe reports the target temperature in the product, the chamber switches the heating off.

If you'd rather keep the process in your own hands and like the feel of a switch, the switch version is the one for you.

CHAPTER 08 · CONTROLS OF YOUR CHOICEDisplay or switches

Display or switches

You decide how to run the process.

Control via the display
Automatic

Display with core temperature probe

You set the temperature from 0 to 100 °C and the time, insert the probe into the thickest piece, and the chamber brings the product to the desired core temperature and switches the heating off by itself.

  • Put in at night, taken out ready in the morning
  • The same result in every batch
  • Handy with large cuts and whole fish
Control via switches
Classic

Switch panel

Simple mechanical controls with no screen and no menus. Switches that feel good in the hand, for those who want to run the process themselves.

  • Clear the first time, no reading up required
  • Splash-proof switches
  • For those who prefer to run the process themselves
