Description
The Benchstar ESH-8DB is a combination smoker and food dehydrator that blends traditional wood-chip smoking with digital temperature control to dry, cure and smoke meats, seafood, tofu and plant-based products in one electric cabinet.
Why operators choose the ESH-8DB
-
Two functions, one unit — smoking and drying combined, so a single cabinet handles curing, dehydrating and cold-to-warm smoking.
-
8-tier rack system — eight removable wire tiers (trays 395 × 320mm) maximise batch capacity per cycle.
-
Digital precision — digital temperature display and a settable 0–20 minute ignition timer give repeatable, consistent results.
-
Wood-chip smoking — removable wood-chip box lets you adjust smoke intensity and flavour by chip type, moisture and burn temperature.
-
Built for service — drip tray, concealed disc heating element, large viewing window and an adjustable chimney damper for airflow and easy cleaning.
