A critical mistake a lot of people make when first learning to smoke is the type of smoke they have passing over their food, and the misconception around what the smoke should look like. Firstly you need a good quality smoking timber that's well seasoned. Unsuitable timber like pine kindling for example gives off an extremely bitter, billowing type smoke that not only tastes unpleasant but will douse your food in black soot. That black soot can also happen with quality smoking timber if you're not careful with your fire management.
Look for a clean burn without any white smouldering smoke coming from your chimney. It’s long been a myth with smokers new to the journey that they need to maintain a heavy white smoke coming from the chimney, it should in fact be the opposite.
The smoke coming out of your chimney should be a thin stream of light blue, almost invisible smoke. If it looks like this, you can be happy your food is getting flavoured with the best possible smoke. If you see big plumes of white smoke billowing from your chimney, open your door and vents and breathe some oxygen into your fire.

The Ozpig is the clever Aussie invention created by the Shepherd family whose passion for great food and time spent with friends and family bought the concept to life, with a focus on real fire, real flavour and real heat. The Ozpig is more than just a grill. This is the ultimate in outdoor cooking and heating.
Compact and Convenient
Been using my Ozpig now for around 8 years, both at home and while travelling. I like the compactness, the ability to break it down for travel and the convenience to cook just about anything at all. I wouldn’t be without it. Derek Bullock - Camp Oven Cooking In Australia

Loving the Smoker
Bought my pig a few weeks ago after seeing my nephew set up. Borrowed his smoker when I went camping a few weeks ago to give it a try before I went and bought my own and it was awesome. So I obviously bought it as well. Every thing is so compact and easy to set up. I would recommend these products to anyone.

Brings the family together
We purchased our Pig from the caravan and camping show a couple of years ago. We use it at home and when camping. We love that it is compact, easy to use and brings the family together to try new recipes and enjoy delicious food! We recommend the OzPig all the time

Big Pig " Very well made "
Received A Big Pig as a work anniversary gift. Very well made and brilliant as an ‘off the ground’ fireplace. The standard inclusions allow you to cook in a frypan or saucepan on top of the fire. Bought the smoker attachment as well as grate and solid bbq plate for direct cooking on the fireplace. These additional items are not cheap but they are well made. Well made and so far a great piece of gear.
