Smokpub Smokery

Most food dehydrators do one job: move warm air over food until the moisture is gone. The Smokpub Smokery adds a second variable. According to the maker, it can dry meat, fruit, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms while optionally layering in smoke from actual wood, so texture and flavor are shaped in the same box.

Three modes, one cabinet

The maker describes three ways to use it: Smoke, Dry, and Smoke + Dry. Drying alone suits fruit where sweetness and texture are the point; smoke alone is pitched for items such as cheese; the combined mode targets foods like beef jerky that benefit from both chew and smoky aroma. The idea is that one appliance changes roles rather than a kitchen accumulating several.

Real smoke, swappable woods

Rather than a smoke-flavor effect, the Smokery burns wood pellets, with a compartment at the top that holds about 70g. The maker says smoke is circulated 360 degrees inside the cabinet. Six wood flavors are listed, including hickory, apple, pear, oak, cherry and beech, which means the same recipe can be rerun with a different wood for a different result.

Key specifications, per the maker

• Temperature range: 30–90℃
• Drying time: settable up to 72 hours
• 6 trays and approximately 10L of interior capacity
• Holds approximately 5lb (about 2.3kg) of meat at once
• Interior LED light and viewing window
• Touch interface for selecting mode, temperature and time
• Body and trays made of food-grade stainless steel; trays are removable
• Designed for countertop use

The wide temperature range and long maximum run time are meant to let users dial in results for foods whose outcome varies with thickness and moisture, from softer to chewier or crisper. The LED-lit window lets cooks check color and shrinkage without opening the door and disturbing the internal environment, a practical detail for multi-hour sessions.

The campaign positions the Smokery for people making their own jerky, protein snacks, fruit snacks and dried spices, rather than for professional kitchens alone. Its simple touch controls are intended to lower the barrier for anyone who finds dedicated smoking equipment intimidating.
