Our Commitment to You:
At Smoke Daddy Inc. we are committed to bring you the best products at an affordable price.

Unlike larger retailers, we prioritize direct relationships with our customers, offering unparalleled support and guidance. From troubleshooting technical issues to sharing creative recipes. We’re here every step of the way.
Our Journey
What began as a humble garage project with my grandsons has blossomed into a successful business. With a blend of innovation and determination, we have transformed a hobby into a livelihood for me and my family. Led by Me, Dennis, and my wife, Sarah, with the support of our dedicated team members like our nephew, Dan, and invaluable staff members like Danielle, Dallas, and our late friend Gary. Smoke Daddy Inc has become a beacon of quality in the smoking industry.
Our daughter, Nancy, works for a law firm full time, but finds time to help us. She and her husband, Joe, have two boys who are “works in progress” for the future of Smoke Daddy, Inc. They enjoy helping when they are not in school and are learning a little about business. Who knows, maybe someday they’ll run the place!
Looking To The Future
As we continue to grow, we remain rooted in our grassroots approach, eschewing mass-market tactics in favor of genuine connections. Together, with our dedicated staff, we’re shaping the future of outdoor cooking, one satisfied customer at a time.

The prob did help it get better temps, but the swing was 50+ degrees. Did some hunting and found smoke daddy. Called and talked with a gentleman and he seems very genuine, so I Bought the PID controller and a spare burner pot. The install was very striaght forward for the pid controller. First fire up and WOW! This is truely a PID controller not a timed despenser. This grill is way better than it has ever been. Gets to temp super fast and holds with in +/- 5 degrees. The smell of the pellets burning/smoking is so much better. It also uses way less pellets and can reach 500 degrees. PID controller is worth every penny!!!!! The burn pot is of better quaility as well. The way the holes are shaped and placed helps with cleaner burned pellets and less ash build up in bottom of pot. I will be buying all my future replacement parts from smoke daddy. Keep up the good work guys!

Great customer service. New PID controller restored life to my Camp Chef STX and actually now it is better than it was when new.
Things break, things don't work out as planned in life but it's how we deal with these challenging times that defines our character. That might seem a bit over board... read more as we are just talking about a smoker but Dennis and the family/team there at Smoke Daddy always rise to the occasion. I've had my vertical for nearly 3 years (30-40+ hours a week is common). I've had to call them twice over that time and every time I screwed something up they where there at the other end of the phone walking me through it. Yes, even 3 years later when the unit is out of warranty and well worn. This commitment to excellence is hard to find but when you do you hold on to it. Buy with confidence and know that you have an ally when you do.
Every time that I have an issue with anything regarding my Smoke Daddy, I can call anytime, including weekends, and I always receive the help that I need. Lately,... read more I sent in my control panel for updates, and it apparently got lost in the mail somehow.

When my Pellet Pro delivery was lost by Australia Post Smoke Daddy sent out a replacement promptly without hesitation.

I wish all companies provided the great customer service they do.I have attached a few images of the BBQ meals we've cooked since installing the Pellet Pro. Thanks Dan and thanks Smoke Daddy.

Starting off, customer service is outstanding!! Then getting my double door smoker was fast, easy and unit arrived in great condition. Assembly was easy as well. My... read more first smoke was jerky, which was the reason I purchased the smoker. The combination of the circulation fan, sportsman controller low temps and massive cook chamber size allowed me to make some of the best jerky I have made to date. I made about 18 lbs. of pork and turkey jerky. There was plenty of smoke and space! Temps were even side to side and top to bottom. This is a great smoker, and I can't wait to do the 90 lbs. of bacon that I smoke for Christmas gifts. Thanks Smoke Daddy for great products and excellent customer service!!!
Great people to do business with.
I can't remember the lady's name who I dealt with but she was absolutely wonderful. I ordered the Heavy D stick burning heat diffuser. She was extremely helpful in answering... read more all my questions and double checking to make sure it would fit my unit. She also took the time to check and give me the best shipping options available for me. I ordered the unit on Wednesday October 05/22 and received by Saturday Oct.08 /22. This unit is built like a tank and I could instantly see and feel the quality and they even put a full sized piece of wood in each slot. Talk about looking after the little details which to me always stand out more than just the obvious. I've also had the pleasure of dealing with Dennis and I have to say top notch as well.. Don't hesitate to deal with Smoke Daddy and their products are second to none. Thanks again for your great customer service, fast shipping and customer care. AAAAA+
This smoker is legit! I have never used a pellet smoker before but my brother in law has one. He was totally impressed with this setup! I’ve been trying for... read more years to get this level of smoke flavor in my food! The Heavy D heat diffuser upgrade is totally worth it!!! Can’t wait to smoke homemade deer summer sausage with the sportsman’s algorithm… the controller works amazing! Up to temp and holds the temp the whole time. Even with a 15 mph east wind, high was only in the lower 70’s. Thanks Smoke Daddy for producing such a good user friendly product! Also hoping to get the WI-FI connection setup soon!
