BQ500 Portable Cold Smoke Infuser, 1500 mAh Type-C Rechargeable

Add a cold-smoked finish to food and drinks

The BQ500 portable smoke infuser is designed for adding smoke to culinary preparations, including meat and barbecue dishes, with a separate hose to direct smoke where it is needed. It can also suit bar and drinks presentations where a smoke effect is part of the serving style. Its compact rechargeable design makes it practical for use at the cooking station, in the kitchen or when preparing food away from a fixed power socket.

The smoke infuser uses a built-in 1500 mAh battery and charges through a Type-C port. The stated charging time is 3.5 hours. This cordless arrangement avoids having to keep the unit connected while using it, although the charging time should be allowed for before preparation.

Construction and setup checks

The BQ500 body combines aluminium alloy, PC and ABS. The product measures 12 x 12.2 x 6.4 cm and has a net weight of 402 g, so it takes up relatively little room on a work surface or in an outdoor-cooking kit. A flexible black hose directs the smoke from the infuser towards the food or vessel being treated.

Before choosing this model, check that the compact body size and hose arrangement suit your intended preparation area. The unit is available in BQ500 Black or BQ500 Silver. Select the preferred colour option when ordering.

Designed for controlled smoke preparation

The BQ500 is a smoke generator rather than a barbecue or grill. It is intended for producing smoke for culinary use, including meat and barbecue preparation. The stated motor speed is 12,000 rpm. Noise is listed as over 70 dB, with ambient noise given as 55 dB, so it is sensible to consider where you will use it if keeping preparation noise low matters.

The removable sawdust fuel tank shown for the product is intended to hold the smoke-producing fuel. Its detachable design supports clearing the tank after use. Allow the appliance and any residue to cool before handling, and keep the body and charging port away from water. Use only suitable smoking fuel according to the product instructions.
