Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: I’ve never smoked meat before. Is this smoker really for beginners?
A: Absolutely! The UWDT-70 v1.4 is specifically designed for smoking beginners. You don’t need any technical knowledge—just set the temperature using the dial, add wood chips, and the smoker does everything automatically. The included manual has simple recipes to get you started, and you’ll achieve professional results from day one.

Q: How much meat can I smoke at once in the UWDT-70?
A: The 70-litre chamber can handle up to 10kg (22 lbs) of meat across 6 stainless steel racks. That’s enough for a whole chicken, several racks of ribs, multiple salmon fillets, or approximately 5-7kg of sausages—perfect for families or small gatherings.

Q: What’s included in the box? Do I need to buy wood chips separately?
A: The UWDT-70 comes complete and ready to use, including 5 packs of premium smoking wood chips (worth over £25). You also get 6 stainless steel racks, digital controller, automatic smoke generator, drip trays, ash tray, and a comprehensive user manual. You can start smoking immediately after unpacking.

Q: How do the countdown timers work?
A: The independent countdown timers let you programme the heater, smoke generator, and dryer separately. For example, you might want smoke for only 5 hours but continued heating for 8 hours. Simply set each timer using the dial knob, and the smoker will automatically turn off each function at the programmed time—perfect for achieving your desired smoke intensity.

Q: Can I use this smoker in UK weather? Is it waterproof?
A: Yes! The UWDT-70 features an alu-zinc exterior specifically designed to resist unfavourable UK weather conditions including rain, wind, and cold. The advanced insulation maintains consistent internal temperatures even in cold weather. However, we recommend placing it in a sheltered location or using a protective cover during heavy rain.

Q: Does the temperature controller need calibration?
A: No calibration needed—ever. The SIMPLE digital controller features an advanced fuzzy logic algorithm that automatically adjusts temperature using the high-precision PT1000 sensor. It’s completely maintenance-free and delivers accurate temperature control from the first use.

Q: How much does it cost to run the UWDT-70?
A: The UWDT-70 is highly energy-efficient with just 615W power consumption. Running for 8 hours costs approximately £1.50-£2.00 (based on average UK electricity rates), making it far more economical than gas or charcoal smokers. The excellent insulation means minimal heat loss and lower energy costs.

Q: Can I do cold smoking with this model?
A: The UWDT-70 is optimised for classic hot smoking up to 120°C. However, you can achieve cold smoking temperatures (below 30°C) by using the smoke generator separately or with specific techniques outlined in the manual—perfect for cheese, salmon, and cured meats.

Q: How easy is it to clean?
A: Very easy! The stainless steel interior wipes clean effortlessly. The removable stainless steel drip trays catch fat, and the water ash tray collects ash for quick disposal. There’s even a condensed water collection container under the chimney. Most users spend less than 10 minutes cleaning after each smoke.

Q: What type of wood chips should I use?
A: The smoker includes 5 packs of wood chips to get started. Afterwards, you can use any quality smoking wood chips or dust—popular choices include beech, oak, apple, cherry, hickory, and alder. Each wood type creates different flavour profiles. Avoid resinous woods like pine or fir.

Q: How long is the warranty, and what does it cover?
A: The Borniak UWDT-70 v1.4 comes with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. We also provide UK-based expert support, free delivery, and long-term parts availability to ensure your smoker serves you reliably for many years.
