Smoke Ovens
Shop online at Huon Distributors for Masterbuilt Electric Smoke Ovens and a great range of smoking products suitable for the serious home user, including smoke pellets and liquid smoke. We recommend gas smoke ovens over the manual wood-fired variety because they offer greater control over the cooking and smoking process, and thus are able to achieve more consistent results. This is important for those amateur users who want to smoke their own foods at home. The smoking of meat and fish is a practice that has occurred for thousands of years, and is one of the earliest methods used to preserve food. There are two aspects of this preservation. One is the partial dehydration of the food, and the other is the effect of the antibacterial properties of absorbed smoke.
Over time, the enhanced flavour of smoked foods has made them a delicacy in many cultures. Almost any enclosed, inflammable structure can and has been used for cold smoking, from the Native American teepee right up to the hygienically questionable outback dunny! However, in order to produce most popular smallgoods such as smoked ham, smoked chicken, bacon and cabana etc, the meat in question has to be cooked as well. This is where the use of a proper, reliable smoke-oven becomes invaluable. Best results are always achieved with a unit which is capable of evenly distributed control of both smoke and heat. Please consult our 'Tips & FAQ's' section for more detailed advice on cooking smallgoods.
