Mandos electric wooden smoker with smoke generator

Product detailed description

The Mandos Electric Wooden Smoker combines traditional wooden construction with electric heating and automatic temperature control. Its main advantage is the two separate smoking chambers, allowing you to adjust the size of the smoker based on the amount of meat being prepared. When using both chambers, it offers a capacity of approximately 20 kg of meat, while the 3,500 W heating element and the Loki smoke generator enable smoking without the need for constant wood feeding.

Two smoking chambers for smaller and larger batches of meat

The greatest advantage of the Mandos smoker is its modular design consisting of two separate wooden chambers measuring 50 × 50 × 60 cm. For smaller quantities of meat, you can use just one chamber, onto which you place the roof. If you are planning a larger smoking session, you can add the second chamber to create a more spacious two-tier smoker with a capacity of approximately 20 kg of meat. Each chamber is equipped with three smoking rods, giving you a total of six rods and fifteen stainless steel hooks.

Electric heating with automatic temperature control

Heating is provided by a 3,500 W OHENVZAHRADE electric heating element with a stainless steel deflector that helps distribute heat inside the smoker. Its operation is controlled by a programmable digital thermostat E-RTM D201, which automatically switches the heating element on and off based on the set temperature. The controller allows you to program up to three temperature and time phases, for example, for drying, smoking, and final finishing of the meat. The smoking process still needs to be monitored regularly.

Loki 3 l smoke generator with adjustable fan

The smoker includes a Loki smoke generator with a three-litre wood chip hopper and an adjustable fan. Smoke is produced by the gradual burning of wood chips, and its intensity can be adjusted to suit the food being prepared. The fan can also be used without ignited wood chips to dry the surface of the meat via airflow before the smoking process begins. Additionally, the generator is equipped with a system that diverts some of the tar condensates into a separate glass jar outside the smoking chamber.

Cold, warm and hot smoking

Thanks to independent smoke production and electric heating, Mandos enables cold, warm, and hot smoking. For warm and hot smoking, the electric heating element with thermostat makes sure there is the right heat, while the Loki generator makes the smoke. For cold smoking, the generator can work without the heating on, but you must make sure the temperature in the smoking chamber stays low. You can thus use the smoker, for example, to prepare homemade sausages, pork belly, pork collar, fish and other delicacies.

Wooden construction with a steel base

Mandos smoking chambers are made of charred and impregnated spruce wood, giving the smoker a traditional look. The entire assembly stands on a sturdy XL steel base with a footprint of 50 × 50 cm. The top part consists of a wooden roof with a chimney for smoke extraction. The design allows the smoker to be assembled with one or two chambers, depending on current needs and required capacity.

Electrical connection and safe operation

Due to the power output, the smoker requires a corresponding electrical circuit protected by a 16A circuit breaker (3,500 W)<\/strong>. The power supply is 230 V / 50 Hz. When connecting and using the device, it is necessary to follow the manufacturer's instructions, ensure the smoker is appropriately positioned, and protect electrical components from moisture. Use the smoker in an outdoor environment and regularly monitor its operation during the smoking process.

What do we recommend buying?

For the Loki generator, we recommend using dry wood chips with a fraction of 3–8 mm. Beech chips are suitable for meat and sausages, alder for fish, for example, while fruitwoods add a finer smoky aroma to the food. When preparing larger cuts of meat, we also recommend a digital probe thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the food.

Care and maintenance

After smoking, let the Mandos smoker cool down and remove fat residues and other impurities from the smoking chambers. Regularly clean the stainless steel drip tray, smoking rods, and hooks. For the Loki generator, it is important to remove deposits and trapped condensates according to the manufacturer's instructions. Protect the wooden construction from prolonged exposure to moisture and regularly check the condition of the electrical components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Mandos electric smoker suitable for beginners?

Yes, automatic temperature regulation and independent smoke generation make operation easier for beginners as well. You don't have to manually regulate the fire or regularly add wood. Nevertheless, it is important to follow the correct smoking procedure and continuously monitor the process.

Can I use only one smoking chamber?

Yes, Mandos allows you to use either one or both smoking chambers. For smaller quantities of meat, simply assemble the smoker with one chamber and place the roof on top. For larger batches, simply add the second chamber to increase the available space for hanging your food.

How much meat can the Mandos smoker hold?

When using both chambers, Mandos offers a capacity of approximately 20 kg of meat. The actual amount depends on the size of the individual pieces and their placement. It is important to leave enough space between the food to allow smoke and heat to circulate freely.

Can meat be dried in the Mandos smoker before smoking?

Yes, the Loki generator fan can be used even without lit wood chips. The airflow helps to dry the surface of the meat before the smoking process begins. The programmable thermostat can also be used for this phase, allowing you to set the desired time and temperature.

What electrical connection does the smoker require?

The smoker is equipped with a 3,500 W heating element and is designed for a 230 V / 50 Hz power supply. Due to the high power consumption, it requires a suitable electrical circuit protected by a 16A circuit breaker. It is necessary to follow the manufacturer's instructions during connection.
