The best-selling smoker in the ProQ range, the ProQ Frontier Elite V4 is the middle size in the range, 45cm in diameter and just over 1m tall, big enough for entertaining and ideal for more informal family cook-outs. As a more visual size guide you can fit up to four whole chickens in the smoker, over two cooking racks. Consisting of a base unit with charcoal basket, two cooking chambers and a lid, the Frontier offers versatile cooking options including hot smoking, steaming, roasting, grilling and in combination with the ProQ Cold Smoke Generator, cold smoking. You can also use the chamber for those essential drying and ‘settling’ stages for cold smoking. For hot smoking, it offers a range of features to achieve authentic melt-in-the-mouth slow cooked and flavoured dishes, the slower the better. But if you did just want to BBQ, just whack the heat up and go for a faster cook.

The Frontier can be reconfigured to provide the right compartment size for a particular project and will even convert to a portable kettle BBQ. The robust porcelain finish provides excellent heat retention whilst multiple air vents allow you to control both burn rate and temperature, ideal for low and slow hot smoking conditions. The water pan feature adds moisture to your long cooks and buffers the charcoal heat source for indirect cooking.

The ProQ Cold Smoke Generator is a fantastic tool to create cooled smoke to flavour cured foods such as salmon, bacon, pancetta and other foods which don’t require curing such as salts, oils, butter, garlic, chillis, nuts, seeds… the list goes on. Use in the base of your smoker (without the need for any charcoal fuel) in combination with the ventilation options and place food either on grill racks or hang from hooks in the underside of the lid. The all stainless steel generator features a square maze design. The mesh size, channel width and length have been perfectly calibrated so that a fill of just 100g of wood dust, lit from an outer corner, will smoulder gently over the course of 10 hours producing cooled aromatic wood smoke. So this 15cm square mesh maze will turn your Frontier into a cold smoker. Use again and again for a wide range of cold smoking projects. Included with your Cold Smoke Generator is a tealight together with a 200g pack of fine oak smoking dust in addition to the 500g pack.

We’ve included two boxes of pure smoking chips in Hickory and Cherry flavours for hot smoking, giving you a strong and medium flavour to match to the food flavours you are working with. Supplied in an easy-to-store, easy-to-pour box, our wood chips are totally natural and sourced from sustainable managed resources. The chip size of around 6mm is ideal for using with a smoker box or wrapped in a foil pouch. For faster flavours, you can simply toss a handful of chips straight onto your heat source and when you are ready, we have many more flavours in our wood chips range to experiment with.

For cold smoking, we’ve included a 500g pack of fine consistency oak smoking dust. This is the optimum particle size for use in the cold smoke generator. Larger particles can introduce too much air so the smouldering is accelerated or extinguished, but our oak dust is one of the most reliable and certainly our go-to product when using the cold smoke generator. Oak has a robust flavour, but is really versatile so will work with most foods. Of course, once you’ve mastered your first few projects, we’ve a fantastic range of dust flavours to choose from in our Wood Dust section.

Our Ready Mix Cure contains just the right proportion of curing agents (Potassium Nitrate and Sodium Nitrate) at a rate of 1.2% in total and blended into a fine salt. You don’t need much, just 60g per 1kg of meat of fish, so this 1kg pack will cure up to 22kg of meat. Add sugar, molasses and a whole host of herbs and spices or a touch of alcohol to create your own bespoke cure mix.

Our 24 page Recipe Booklet talks you through hot and cold smoking, woods, equipment and provides a great selection of hot and cold smoking recipes designed to act as a springboard for your own food smoking adventures. Recipes include hot smoked mackerel, whole smoked chicken, moroccan lamb, spicy beef brisket, vegetarian and dessert options and for cold smoking, bacon, salmon, cheeses and various larder staples. It’s all our Hot Smoked knowledge – over to you!
