Borniak BBDS-70 BBQ Smoker | 70L Digital Electric Smoker 150°C | Stainless Steel

Borniak BBDS-70 Digital BBQ Electric Smoker (70 Litres) – Professional Stainless Steel Construction

The Borniak BBDS-70 v1.4 is the perfect starting point for your smoking journey, combining beginner-friendly simplicity with professional-grade construction. This compact 70-litre stainless steel electric smoker reaches temperatures up to 150°C, giving you the versatility to cold smoke delicate cheese, hot smoke salmon, or cook authentic American-style BBQ brisket. With advanced fuzzy logic temperature control and precision PT1000 sensor technology, you’ll achieve consistent, professional results from your very first smoke – no experience required.

Beginner-Friendly Simplicity Meets Professional Performance

Never smoked before? The BBDS-70 makes it effortless. The SIMPLE digital controller lives up to its name – just turn the dial knob to select your desired temperature, press to confirm, and fill the automatic smoke generator with wood chips (included). The smoker handles everything else automatically, maintaining perfect temperature and smoke density for hours whilst you relax.

The advanced fuzzy logic algorithm continuously monitors and adjusts heating based on dozens of variables – ambient temperature, door openings, food load, and more. Unlike basic on/off thermostats that create temperature swings, fuzzy logic delivers rock-solid stability for perfectly even cooking and smoking.

The PT1000 high-precision temperature sensor provides laboratory-grade accuracy without any calibration needed. Set it once and trust it completely – the BBDS-70 maintains your chosen temperature within tight tolerances, eliminating the guesswork and failed batches common with manual smoking.

150°C Maximum Temperature for Authentic BBQ

The 1115W high-power heating element reaches temperatures up to 150°C – significantly hotter than basic cold smokers. This versatility means you can tackle virtually any smoking or BBQ project:

✓ Cold smoking (below 30°C) – cheese, salmon, bacon, nuts
✓ Warm smoking (30-80°C) – traditional European sausages and fish
✓ Hot smoking (80-120°C) – pulled pork, pastrami, smoked chicken
✓ High-heat BBQ (120-150°C) – ribs with crispy bark, brisket, whole chickens

One smoker, endless possibilities – from delicate cold-smoked butter to competition-worthy BBQ ribs.

Borniak Smoker Version 1.4 Design Improvements

The latest v1.4 model includes thoughtful upgrades that enhance performance and convenience:

• Redesigned drip tray system – optimised airflow pattern ensures heat and smoke distribute evenly throughout the chamber, eliminating hot spots and ensuring consistent results from top to bottom racks
• Modular feet design – standard feet can be easily replaced with optional wheels (sold separately) for effortless mobility around your garden or patio
• Enhanced sealing – improved magnetic door closure maintains consistent chamber conditions even in windy weather

Premium Stainless Steel Construction

Whilst many budget smokers use galvanised steel or painted finishes that deteriorate over time, the BBDS-70 features full stainless steel construction both inside and out. This premium material choice delivers multiple benefits:

Weather resistance – withstands rain, frost, and British weather year-round without rust or corrosion
Hygiene – non-porous surface won’t harbour bacteria and cleans easily
Longevity – investment-grade durability means decades of reliable service
Food safety – certified food-contact materials throughout the interior

Polyurethane foam insulation between the inner and outer walls maintains stable temperatures whilst minimising energy consumption. The tight magnetic door seal with silicone compression prevents heat loss even during extended smoking sessions.

The adjustable air damper on top gives you precise control over airflow and smoke density – open fully for lighter smoke on delicate fish, close partially for heavier smoke penetration on robust meats.

Borniak’s Legendary Automatic Smoke Generator

The heart of every Borniak smoker is its automatic smoke generator, and the BBDS-70’s is exceptional:

• 8-hour capacity – fill once in the morning and smoke all day without intervention
• Top-access lid – easy refilling if needed, keeps debris out
• Heater shield – prevents condensation drips from extinguishing smouldering chips
• Adjustable air intake – fine-tune smoke intensity from whisper-light to heavy
• Optimal combustion temperature – chips smoulder perfectly without flaming, preventing bitter flavours and harmful compounds

This controlled smouldering produces clean, aromatic smoke that penetrates food beautifully without the acrid, sooty taste common with cheaper smoke generators. No blackened exterior, no harsh flavours – just perfectly balanced smoke character.

Generous 70-Litre Capacity

Six adjustable stainless steel racks accommodate up to 10kg of food, providing surprising capacity in a compact footprint:

• 2-3 whole salmon sides
• 8-10kg of sausages hanging vertically
• 4-5 whole chickens
• 3kg brisket plus bacon
• 4-5 racks of ribs
• 30+ portions of vegetables or cheese

The 59cm internal height allows hanging larger cuts vertically (hooks included), whilst the 40cm width and 30cm depth fit comfortably on balconies, patios, or small gardens without dominating your outdoor space.

Common Questions About the BBDS-70

Do I need any smoking experience to use this smoker?
Not at all. The BBDS-70 is specifically designed for complete beginners. The fuzzy logic controller handles all the complex temperature management automatically – you simply set your target temperature and let it work. Many customers smoke successfully on their very first attempt.

What’s the difference between the BBDS-70 and BBDST-70?
The BBDST-70 adds independent countdown timers for the heater, smoke generator, and dryer functions. If you want to set exact smoking durations (e.g., smoke for 6 hours then stop automatically), choose the BBDST-70. If you’re happy manually turning off the smoker when done, the BBDS-70 offers identical performance at a lower price.

Can this smoker handle both cold smoking and hot BBQ cooking?
Absolutely. The 0-150°C range covers everything from cold-smoking delicate cheese at 20°C to hot BBQ ribs at 140°C. Use the smoke generator alone (without heat) for cold smoking, or run both together for hot smoking and cooking.

Is stainless steel really worth the extra cost vs aluzinc models?
For long-term outdoor use, yes. Stainless steel won’t rust or corrode, cleans more easily, and will still look pristine decades from now. Aluzinc is perfectly functional but may show weather wear over time, especially in coastal or high-humidity areas.

How much does it cost to run?
Very economical. The 1115W heater cycles on and off to maintain temperature (it’s not running continuously), and excellent insulation minimises heat loss. Expect running costs similar to a slow cooker – typically under £1 per smoking session for electricity.

What wood chips should I use?
Use Borniak’s chemical-free wood chips for guaranteed compatibility and pure flavour. Popular varieties include alder (fish, delicate meats), oak (beef, game), beech (pork, sausages), cherry (poultry), and apple (sweet, mild smoke for everything). Starter supply included, additional packs sold separately.

Can I use this indoors?
No. Like all smoking equipment, the BBDS-70 must be used outdoors with adequate ventilation. However, the stainless steel construction and weatherproofing mean it happily lives outside year-round.

Is it difficult to clean?
Not at all. The stainless steel interior wipes clean easily, and all racks and trays are dishwasher-safe. Most customers simply brush out ash and wipe down surfaces after each use – takes about 5 minutes.

Can I add wheels for easier movement?
Yes. The v1.4 design features modular feet that accept optional wheel attachments (sold separately), making it easy to move the smoker around your patio or store it when not in use.

What warranty and support is included?
Every BBDS-70 includes a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. As the official UK distributor, we provide UK-based customer support, spare parts availability, and expert smoking advice. We’re here to help you succeed.
