Smokpub Smokery: The World's First Smoking Dehydrator.
Make smoky jerky, dried fruit, herbs and more with 6 trays, precision dehydration and built-in smoking — all in one countertop machine.
If you are tired of choosing between the convenience of indoor food preservation and the rich flavor of a backyard barbecue, a new countertop appliance is merging the two. Launching on Kickstarter, the Smokpub Smokery is billed as the world's first smoking dehydrator. By combining a precision multi-tray dehydrator with a real wood pellet smoke chamber, it allows you to craft authentic smoked jerky, cheeses, and herbs right in your kitchen.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator Smokpub Smokery: The World's First Smoking Dehydrator by Smokpub.
What It Is The Smokery is a countertop kitchen appliance that integrates two distinct food crafting methods. It functions as both a high-efficiency food dehydrator and an indoor wood pellet smoker, operating off a single unified digital control panel.
KEY FEATURES
3-in-1 Operation Users can choose to strictly dehydrate, use the smoke-only mode for cold smoking meats and cheeses, or combine both functions simultaneously to smoke and dehydrate for up to 72 continuous hours.
Precision Temperature Control The dehydrating heating element offers a working range of 86 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit (30 to 90 degrees Celsius). For cold smoking, the heater remains off, keeping the chamber at ambient room temperature while infusing the food with smoke.
Six Tier Capacity The unit utilizes six removable racks, each measuring roughly 11 by 7.9 inches. This provides massive surface area for large batches of jerky, dried fruit, or smoking bulk items like almonds.
Universal Pellet Compatibility It uses a built-in smoke generator that runs on standard cylindrical wood pellets. While Smokpub offers their own food-grade flavors, you are completely free to use widely available third-party grill pellets.
Indoor Safe Design The machine is designed to contain and manage the smoke output efficiently within the chassis, mimicking the concept of an enclosed indoor oven rather than a billowing outdoor fire pit.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing The campaign is immensely successful, raising over half a million dollars. Early backers can secure the Smokery for $159, which is approximately 40 percent off the planned $265 MSRP.
Options Standard pledges include the main unit and the six trays. Backers have the option to add additional proprietary wood pellet flavor packs to their order before shipping.
Delivery The funding period ends on October 24, 2026. The Smokpub team projects that global fulfillment and delivery to backers will begin in January 2027.
Before moving to the design concept, this interactive breakdown shows exactly how the Smokery's hybrid specifications stack up against buying a separate dehydrator and indoor smoker:
CONCEPT
The core concept is Flavor and Preservation in One. The creators at Smokpub believe that achieving authentic, wood-fired flavor should not require a massive outdoor setup or perfect weather. By engineering an enclosed system that manages real wood smoke alongside a precision dehydrating fan, they aim to make artisanal food crafting accessible to apartment dwellers and home chefs year-round.
INSPIRATION
The project was inspired by the growing popularity of homemade snacks and the massive footprint of traditional kitchen gadgets. The team recognized that enthusiasts often had to buy and store two separate, bulky machines like a dehydrator for preserving and a smoking gun for flavor. By combining these mechanisms into a single sleek footprint, they created a machine that eliminates the hassle of moving food between appliances, streamlining the process of making professional-grade smoked provisions.
