Our Commitment to You:
At Smoke Daddy Inc. we are committed to bring you the best products at an affordable price. We have considered expanding into large box stores but have decided that it is more important to avoid all the mark ups that go along with that approach. Also, that would do away with so much of the personalized support and relationships we enjoy developing with our customers. Our unwavering dedication to quality means we stand firmly behind every product we offer, as well as providing personalized support whenever you need it. We cherish the insights gained from interacting with our customers, we are always eager to learn from your experiences and share our expertise.
Since our inception in October 2009, Smoke Daddy Inc. has thrived on a foundation of integrity and personalized service. 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.

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.
Purchased a pellet pro from Smoke Daddy a few years back. Today on 4th of July, I had an issue with my smoker throwing my breaker when I turned it... read more on. Called Smoke Daddy and unfortunately they were closed because it is a Saturday and also a holiday. Their recording said press 0 for a bbq emergency so I did and much to my surprise Dennis answered the phone. I explained my issue and Dennis had a pretty good idea of what the issue was and walked me through how to fix it so I could bbq for the weekend. I rarely see the customer service like this from companies. Smoke Daddy is a top notch company and the people that run this place are second to none. The product is also great as I have had no issues with my pellet pro until recently. I highly recommend doing business with this company and I never give reviews unless it’s exceptional service. You can’t go wrong with the people at Smoke Daddy.
I recently bought the wifi pro rebuild kit recently not only was the kit complete with everything needed to rebuild your tired grill, the purchase was easy shipping was... read more super fast, and the kit went in without a hitch. On initial run i was able to get my grill up to 425 at almost freezing. i am looking forward to cooking with this bad boy
Very good experience. Excellent customer service and top notch products. I have bought several things from Smoke Daddy, 1 was the pellet pro complete upgrade kit which puts... read more the stock Traeger equipment to shame. Then bought the big Kahuna cold smoker and that works fantastic. You can feel confident in buying their products. Thank you Smoke Daddy!
I cannot say, enough, how awesome this company is. I received the motor bracket and it was very easy to install. I have no worries about my auger... read more motor going out, prematurely, now.

The team at Smoke Daddy was incredible to work with. Highly recommend getting yourself one. You will not regret it!
Awesome smokers and even better customer service! Beyond happy with this company and my purchase.
I have been smoking BBQ for about 6 months using my pellet smoker, but I never got the smoke levels I wanted. I bought their “Heavy D” Stick Burning Heat... read more Diffuser, which replaced my *significantly* lighter heat deflector/diffuser that came with my pellet smoker. I LOVE being able to have wood stick smoke in the first 2 hours of crucial smoking time. It works so well. My last brisket had seriously excellent flavor. Smoke Daddy is a great small business creating innovative products. They sell creative solutions that you won't find elsewhere. Also, their customer service is top notch. I spoke to Dan with my issues, and he helped me think through the possible solutions. Give them a call! They are thoughtful, engaged, and give great advice.

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!
Great smoker, American made.
The "Heavy D" stick burning heat diffuser works great and is a great addition of extra smoke for my Traeger.
Owner and staff are extremely knowledgeable, very friendly. And helpful
Was having temp issues with my 7 year old treager pro22. It has been a great grill, I have only replaced the burner pot about 2 year ago. it was... read more suggested to replace the temp prob. 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!

let me tell you about Dennis and Dan and their tenacity and desire to ensure Smoke Daddy customers have the best care in the world. I had a system... read more that kept blowing fuses. They worked with me to figure out the issue and continued supplying part and resources to resolve the issue. They were professional and courteous and knowledgeable and some of the very best help I have ever had. Call the support line, it'll ring Dennis' cell after hours and he will pick up. I have nothing but good things to say about Smoke Daddy. It will be hard to be satisfied with the next organization I need to use support with, since Smoke Daddy has set the expectation of what support should be.
Great selection of wood pellets, good prices and great friendly staff
I am absolutely in love with the 1190. I purchased it and had some issues at first with it. Without hesitation, on a Sunday, Dennis answered my email and helped... read more me out.

It is worth upgrading the heating probe, so we would definitely recommend it. You will see in the photos that we also added the Big Kahuna Cold Smoke Generator for the flexibility of adding smoke for that amazing smoke ring, or to cold smoke some cheese, eggs, bacon, you name it! We love Smoke Daddy and what they have to offer. Their customer service is excellent and Dennis and his crew do it right!
