You know what's frustrating when it comes to smoking a whole batch of freshly caught salmon, or jerky, sausage, ribs or anything else for that matter? It's when your smoker starts acting crazy with fluctuating temperatures, or when the wood stops smoking because of those fluctuating temperatures, or trying to deal with Bluetooth wi-fi techy something or other to control your smoker. All those issues are non-existent when it comes to the Big Chief smoker, and have been since the 1960's when it was first introduced. The Big Chief maintains a consistent low temperature setting (165 degrees Fahrenheit) so you know that you're smoking food at the low temperature you need... and not cooking and ruining your expensive and well earned batch of salmon or sausage.

Smoking is made simple with the Big Chief as all you have to do is plug it in to a standard household outlet. Place your food (after brining or preparation) on one of the five racks that sit over top of the drip pan... the smoker's capacity is a whopping 50 pounds of meat or fish! Then close the door. The Big Chief's wood chip pan is removable without ever opening the door, so you're never letting the heat out and dealing with those pesky fluctuating temperatures. Just choose your favorite flavor of Smokehouse Wood Chips and you're guaranteed to be getting an amazing amount of smoke... even with the smoker temperature at just 165 degrees! Now not every smoker can do this so you have to appreciate a low smoking temperature with an abundant amount of smoke. Now's the time to put your feet up and admire what your doing with a cold, frosty beverage! Before you know it, you'll be the most popular person in the neighborhood with the best tasting food to share!

If you're wondering what all you can smoke in a Big Chief, well here is a short list of what you can do because the possibilities are endless... salmon, trout, other fish, jerky, sausage, turkey, bacon, hams, steaks, ribs, pork butts, brisket, fruits, nuts, and cheeses. The Big Chief has even been on national TV for smoking beer! Just remember when smoking those large meats like a pork butt or a brisket, you'll smoke it thoroughly in the Big Chief and then finish the meat off in an oven or on a grill to get to that target internal temperature... everything else you can continue to dehydrate in the Big Chief until you reach the flavor you want.

    Super easy and effective!

    I personally hate appliance learning curves, but I have to say, this is the EASIEST item I have ever used. I used it to smoke salmon for the first time in my life. The salmon was PERFECT. I had a friend who said he had tried more expensive smokers, and he always comes back to Big Chief. That's why I bought it, and I am thrilled!

    Big Chief is big fun

    Just began using my Big Chief smoker. Brined some salmon with the easy brine recipe with a bit of added soy and garlic powder. Still easy. Did 2 pans of Alder chips and smoked for 7 hours. Just delicious. Shared iwth some neighbors and they could not stop taste testing the salmon. Cannot wait to do more and then try new things. Easy cleanup and storage. The perfect smoker for me!

    Received damaged

    When I received the smoker the box it came in had no signs of damage, but when I removed the smoker from the box the left front corner was dented in near the bottom. It was dented in enough that I was unable to get the drip pan or the bottom rack into the smoker. I was able to pound the dent mostly out with my dead blow hammer, so I am able to get the drip pan and rack in now with no problem. The smoker works great besides that. I am disappointed in the quality control it appears the smoker was placed in the box damaged.

    We bought a Little Chief Smoker in the early 1970’s when we lived in Alaska....used it constantly! Passed it to my youngest daughter about 3 years ago. Now she uses it! Still have it in the same box, looks well used but going strong! I was smoking fish today deciders to get on this website to see what had changed….thought I send you a review from someone in their 70’s! Thank you for an amazing product!
