Borniak BBDST-70 BBQ Smoker with Timer | 70L Digital Electric Smoker UK

Borniak BBDST-70 BBQ Electric Smoker with Digital Timer (70 Litres) – Stainless Steel

The Borniak BBDST-70 v1.4 is the ultimate beginner-friendly electric smoker combining professional BBQ capability with intelligent timer control. This compact 70-litre stainless steel smoker reaches temperatures up to 150°C, making it perfect for both traditional smoking and hot BBQ cooking. With independent countdown timers for the heater, smoke generator, and dryer, you have complete control over your smoking process without constant monitoring.

Advanced Timer Control for Effortless Smoking

The BBDST-70’s standout feature is its independent countdown timer system. Set individual timers for each function using the intuitive dial knob on the digital control panel:

• Smoke generator timer – run smoke for 5 hours, then automatically stop whilst continuing to heat
• Heater timer – maintain temperature for 8 hours, then power down automatically
• Dryer function timer – perfect for creating traditional dried meats and sausages

This means you can cold smoke cheese overnight with just smoke (no heat), hot smoke salmon for 4 hours with heat and smoke together, or create biltong using the dryer function – all without babysitting your smoker.

Beginner-Friendly Yet Professional Results

Never smoked before? The BBDST-70 makes it impossible to fail. Simply set your desired temperature using the dial knob, press to confirm, fill the smoke generator with wood chips (included), and let the smoker work its magic. The advanced fuzzy logic algorithm constantly adjusts heating to maintain perfect temperatures, whilst the PT1000 precision sensor monitors conditions with laboratory-grade accuracy.

No calibration needed. No guesswork. No failed batches. Just consistently delicious smoked food every time.

Higher Temperature for Authentic BBQ

The 1115W high-power heating element reaches temperatures up to 150°C – significantly hotter than basic smokers. This means you can:

✓ Hot smoke and cook ribs, brisket, or pulled pork to perfection
✓ Achieve crispy skin on poultry whilst infusing smoke flavour
✓ Prepare authentic American-style BBQ alongside traditional European smoking
✓ Cook faster when needed without sacrificing smoke penetration

Borniak Version 1.4 Improvements

The latest v1.4 model includes thoughtful upgrades based on customer feedback:

• Redesigned drip tray – improved heat and smoke circulation throughout the chamber for more even results
• Modular feet design – easily replace standard feet with optional wheels for mobility (wheels sold separately)
• Enhanced controller interface – even simpler operation with clearer display

Built to Last – Premium Stainless Steel Construction

Whilst many competitors use galvanised steel or aluzinc, the BBDST-70 features full stainless steel exterior casing for superior weather resistance and longevity. The food-safe stainless steel interior ensures no contamination, whilst polyurethane foam insulation maintains stable temperatures even in cold British weather.

The magnetic door seal with tight closure prevents heat loss and maintains consistent smoke density. The adjustable air damper lets you fine-tune airflow for different smoking styles.

Borniak’s Legendary Smoke Generator

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

• 8-hour capacity – fill once and smoke all day without refills
• Lid-covered reservoir – easy to top up if needed, prevents debris entry
• Heater shield – stops condensation drips extinguishing your smoke
• Adjustable air holes – control smoke density from light wisps to heavy smoke
• Perfect combustion temperature – wood chips smoulder without flaming, preventing bitter taste and carcinogenic compounds

No blackened meat. No acrid flavours. Just clean, aromatic smoke that penetrates perfectly.

Generous Capacity in Compact Size

70 litres with 6 adjustable stainless steel racks accommodate up to 10kg of food – enough for:

• 2-3 salmon sides
• 8-10kg of sausages
• 4-5 chickens
• 3kg brisket plus sides
• Multiple racks of ribs
• 20-30 portions of vegetables

The compact footprint fits comfortably on balconies, patios, or small gardens, yet provides serious smoking capacity for family gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the BBDST-70 and UWDT-70?
The BBDST-70 features independent countdown timers for smoke/heat/dryer, stainless steel construction (vs aluzinc), and reaches 150°C (vs 120°C). Perfect if you want more control and BBQ capability.

Do I need smoking experience?
Absolutely not. The SIMPLE digital controller with fuzzy logic handles all temperature management automatically. Just set your desired temperature and the smoker does the rest.

Can I cold smoke cheese and hot smoke ribs with the same unit?
Yes! The timer system makes this easy. For cold smoking, run the smoke generator without the heater and use cold smoking adapter. For hot smoking, run both together. The 0-150°C range covers everything from delicate cheese to high-heat BBQ.

How do the countdown timers work?
Use the dial knob to set hours for each function independently. For example: smoke for 6 hours, heat for 8 hours, dryer off. When each timer expires, that function stops automatically.

What wood chips should I use?
Use Borniak’s chemical-free wood chips in alder, oak, beech, cherry, or apple. Wood chips are included with your smoker, and additional packs are available separately.

Is it suitable for outdoor use year-round?
Yes. The stainless steel construction withstands British weather, and the excellent insulation maintains temperatures even in cold conditions. We recommend a protective cover for long-term outdoor storage.

Can I add wheels for mobility?
Yes! The v1.4 design features modular feet that can be replaced with optional wheels (sold separately).

How often do I need to refill wood chips?
The 8-hour capacity means most smoking sessions require no refills. For longer smokes, the lid-access design makes topping up quick and easy.

What warranty is included?
All Borniak smokers include a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty with UK-based support and readily available spare parts.
