In terms of outdoor goals, hot-smoking a freshly caught fish on a beach or riverbank somewhere must surely be right up there. Purists might argue you should be making your smoker out of an old biscuit tin and some steel rodent mesh, but if you fancy something a bit better looking (and less likely to make your mackerel taste of paint fumes), may we suggest this very handsome one from Snow Peak? The perfect size for a whole fish, it's got a two-tiered rack so you can cook thicker items and thinner ones at the same time. You can also use it with the lower rack alone, in which case there's enough space to smoke up a decent hunk of meat. It's constructed in sleek stainless steel with a wooden knob on the lid, and weighs in at just 1500g – making it ideal for your camper or canoe. What's more, it'll also do double duty as a teeny tiny barbecue.
Snow Peak's journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
