Solid base for the Tulkas electric smoker

Product detailed description

Sturdy steel base for an electric smoker with two drawers combines the supporting structure, a space for the heating coil and a chamber for smouldering wood chips. It is suitable for building your own electric smoker or replacing the bottom part of an existing unit. You can complete it with a smoking chamber that matches the dimensions and the way it sits on the base.

Main advantages

• Sturdy steel construction with legs – provides support for installing the smoking chamber.

• Two separate drawers – dedicated space for the heating coil and the wood chips.

• Compatible with various smoking chambers – the base is not tied to a single model; the corresponding dimensions and design are the deciding factors.

Solid support for your smoking chamber

The steel construction with legs forms the lower part of the smoker and provides support for the chamber installation. Its use is not limited to one specific smoker model. When selecting, the dimensional and structural compatibility of the base with the chamber is critical.

Separate space for wood chips and the coil

The base has two separate drawers: one for the heating coil and one for the wood chips. The pull-out tray allows you to replenish wood chips in the bottom of the smoker while the food remains suspended in the chamber.

How heating and smoke production work

The electric coil heats the smoking chamber and simultaneously provides the heat required to smoulder the wood chips in the tray. The resulting smoke passes through the chamber around the food being prepared and exits via the smoke vent. Electricity provides the heat, and wood chips provide the smoky aroma.

This method is primarily intended for warm and hot smoking. The temperature reached and the heating speed also depend on the size of the chamber, its material, insulation and outdoor conditions. Therefore, the performance of the coil cannot be assessed separately from the entire assembly.

How to choose the right smoking chamber

Before purchasing, compare the external dimensions of the bottom part of the chamber with the contact surface of the base and verify how it is seated. Internal dimensions of the smoking area are not sufficient for assessing compatibility. The chamber must be stably supported and structurally suitable for electric heating from below and the passage of heat and smoke.

If you are unsure about the suitability of a specific chamber, please contact us and send us its dimensions and a photo of the bottom part. We will help you assess whether the two parts can be combined.

What's in the package

• Steel base with legs

• Wood chip drawer

• Heating element drawer

• 2x drip trays

Neither the smoking chamber nor the thermometer is included in this set.

Recommended accessories

To assemble the smoker, you will need a dimensionally compatible smoking chamber and a thermometer to monitor its internal temperature. For smoke production, choose smoking chips with a fraction of 1–3 mm, suitable for smouldering over an electric coil.

Care and storage

Before cleaning, disconnect the coil from the electricity and allow all parts to cool down. Remove chip residue from the tray and protect the base from prolonged moisture. When storing the smoker outdoors, remove the coil and keep it in a dry place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I place a different smoking chamber on the base?
Yes, provided it matches the dimensions of the seating surface and is structurally suitable for this method of placement and heating. The base is not tied to one specific smoker model.

Is this set a complete smoker?
No. It includes a base with legs, drawers, and drip trays. The smoking chamber and its accessories must be purchased separately.

The heating element is not included in the price and must be bought separately.

Do I also need a smoke generator?
When smouldering wood chips over the element, smoke is produced directly in the base. Therefore, a separate generator is not necessary for this method of smoking. Cold smoking requires a different smoke generation solution, separate from the chamber heating.
