Again thanks to Smoke Daddy for sending me this Big Kahuna Smoke Generator for review. Did its job very nicely, I do recommend a smoke generator for cold smoking and for adding exrtra smoke to a pellet smoker. With proper care and maintenance this could be a invaluable piece of BBQ equipment.
If not for your video, I would have never been able to assemble mine so a big thank you. I think the instructions were written for someone who received an assembled unit where mine wasn't. I had a big bag which contained all the hardware required and then the main body, the two end caps and the motor. Nothing was installed already like yours.
Glad to hear it helped. I hope you enjoy it they are pretty awesome in my opinion especially if you dont have a big stick burner smoker. Thanks for the positive words I appreciate it
Thank you very much for the honest review of the Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator Corby! Being a small family company, we rely greatly on customer reviews and "word of mouth" for our advertising. As for the creosote buildup mentioned in the video, since this is a contained wood fire there will be creosote buildup on the inside of the cylinder. This will not travel into the actual smoker or grill which many other cold smokers will do. Again, I appreciate your review very much Corby! -Dan S
Dan Seppala thanks for the opportunity. Yes the creosote is contained in the cylinder never touched the inside of smoker. Thought I touched on that, guess I’ll have to go back and watch it again to see.
Nice video Corby Q. I wonder if a little duct tape over some or all of the draft holes might slow down the burn some. I just got my Big Kahuna from my son and will smoke some bacon today. Thanks-
Making one can get frustrating but well worth it especially with a pellet smoker. I watched your brisket video last night when you were singing to it LOLOLOLOL
I made one when I first made my fridge worked really well. It was fun making one myself but I have to admit having one machined and fitted and made in a shop for all that thermal dynamics and leaks was a God send.
I have used mine now for a long while. They work, but are a pain in the ass. You have to constantly maintain it. Air =, to much smoke ( white smoke) or not enough smoke, chips go out. You have to poke the chips to the bottom of the burn pot. And refil with fresh chips every 10-15 min. Turn air up and down to try and maintain a good burn ( blue smoke). I will continue to use it, but think they are overpriced for what you get ( what they do). Much more attention is required to keep this going then a regular stick ( chunk) smoker, and a whooooooole lot more then a pellet smoker. But the flavor is better then a pellet smoker by itself, and is the reason I will continue to use it. Is it worth the price, not in my opinion, but what is these days.
critter getter I have some of the whole plugged with aluminum foil, I have it pretty dialed in and don't get much white smoke other than initial light. I can get about 3 hrs of smoke in a full load of charcoal mixed with pellets. I love mine and I'm glad they let me test it. I would pay for it for my electric smoker. I have a real crappy sick burner which does produce better flavor and the big kahuna is suppose to be to supplement smoke. I appreciate your comment and thank you so much for watching the review.

Duct tape will more than likely burn, it gets quite hot down there also. What I do is make little plugs from aluminum foil and plug the hole.

Glad to have you back buddy! This was a great video and a good honest review! Excellent job!
Glad to be back. I really tried for it to come off honestly I hope that came across. Thanks Buddy.
Corby Q indeed it does. Well done buddy!
I too built my own,but always wanted to see one of these in action as well!
Hocus Smokus really fun to use and always ads just enough
Cool! (PUN INTENDED)LOL!
Great review

Corby, Nice review. I have a pellet smoker and have that issue of not enough smoke. I was thinking about making my own with expanded steel.👍🏼
Making one can get frustrating but well worth it especially with a pellet smoker. I watched your brisket video last night when you were singing to it LOLOLOLOL
Very helpful, thanks. Prolly gonna add one to my pellet grill.
I would definitely recommend one to a pellet grill if you want a little extra smoke and you can control the amount of the smoker also.
Hope you did it’s a complete game changer
Great video. Do you know what size air pump is used?
I think the white smoke and creosote may be a problem with your method and chip prep, not a problem with the smoker.
You mean the 2 3/8 galvanized fence post caps lol?
Absolutely not. They are aluminized aluminum.
Nuh uh, I dint believe you, send it to me and let me see lol. 👍
@@hdturbogixxer lol. You can look it up on their webpage
Ok ok deal.
Great seeing a video Sir!

I made one when I first made my fridge worked really well. It was fun making one myself but I have to admit having one machined and fitted and made in a shop for all that thermal dynamics and leaks was a God send.

Cheers bud
IN FOR THE GRILL thanks bud. Felt good to record again. I’m trying to get back to a normal "for me normal anyway” schedule.
Corby Q we will be HERE
Cheers BROTHA
you "mispeeled" the website. Also, why did you mount the smoker so high? and not as low as you can go to still operate it?
It is low on the inside of the fridge. The inside sits higher off the ground it’s only a couple inches from the bottom of the inside of the fridge
I’ll fix the spelling and and the . Before the com. Thanks
Great job hozer, nice review :)
Thanks I appreciate that mon amie
