HotSmoked | Camerons Gourmet Mini Smoker

The Camerons Gourmet Mini Will Create Delicious Hot Smoked Dishes with the Minimum of Effort

Smoke Foods of All Types Right on Your Own Stove!

Smoke-cooking is a healthy way to infuse flavor without the use of fats, salts or oils and that means no added calories either! Our smoker allows you to hot-smoke food, a process that retains moisture and natural cooking flavors so foods don't dry out or get tough. Camerons Smoker also doubles as a steamer, so you really get two great cookers in one product. Camerons Stovetop Smoker works well with all meat, seafood, and poultry dishes and it transforms ordinary vegetables into delicious main courses! Large items like turkeys or hams can be smoked as well by simply making an aluminum foil tent to cover the item when you cook it, instead of using the smoker lid.

The Camerons Gourmet Mini Smoker is highly versatile enabling you to smoke food on your own kitchen stove, including electric induction, gas and induction hobs. It will also work well on the base of a medium to hot oven in range cookers such as Agas or Rayburns. The smoker simply requires a medium heat source directly from below to cause the wood to smolder producing delicious smoke flavors.

Constructed in durable, solid, food grade stainless steel, the smoker uses a hot smoking process, a healthy way to infuse flavor without the use of fats, salts of oils whilst retaining moisture so food remains tender and succulent. The smoker comprises a stainless steel tray into which wood smoking chips are placed – the source of your delicious wood smoke flavor. A drip tray sits directly above the smoker base and above that food is placed on a wire rack above. A stainless steel slide-on lid loosely seals the unit. The smoker has a heat resistant fold-away handle.

This is a two-man smoker, which is ideal for a couple of small fish or two chicken breasts. It’s also a fantastic addition to the foodie kitchen – at home or on the move – for hot smoking ingredients such as chillis, garlic, seafood, and vegetables.  The smoker doubles as a steamer and you can use the tray for other general cooking tasks, so it is a multi-functional piece of kitchen cookware.

Which Smoking Woods?

For optimum results use a mini wood chip, measuring around 1 to 3mm in size with your Camerons smoker. Check out our range of mini smoking chips here . We’ve a great selection of flavors including Oak, Beech, Apple, Cherry, Alder and Bourbon Oak. Many of our wood dusts, although slightly smaller, thinner particles will also work well. Choice of wood flavor is up to you, but if you need help to decide we’ve put together a quick Guide to Using Wood Smoke Flavor so you can select the right smoke strength for the food you are cooking.

How It Works

1. Place a heaped tablespoon of mini wood chips or wood dust in the center of the ribbed base. Resist the temptation to scatter the wood across the base.
2. Place the drip tray on top of the wood pile.
3. Add a dash of wine or place sprigs of fresh herbs into hot water in the drip tray. This will help add more moisture and additional flavors as you cook.
4. Place the grill rack above the drip tray and add your food.
5. We recommend pre-seasoning your food (fish and meat in particular) to intensify flavors. Use an off-the-shelf rub or your own salt and herb mixture and allow to season for an hour or so, or longer if you have time.
6. Slide the lid in place leaving a couple of centimeters open
7. Place on your heat source – you need a medium to hot heat to begin with.
8. Once the wood begins to smolder you’ll see wispy smoke escape from the partially open lid. Fully close the lid and reduce the heat. Allow to hot smoke and steam gently.
9. Allow approx. 30 minutes for fish fillets or meat cuts. The lower the heat, the longer the cook, the better the results.
