Benchstar ESH-8DB Smoker/Dehydrator Combination Unit

The Benchstar ESH-8DB brings together traditional wood chip smoking and modern dehydrating capability in a single, digitally controlled unit. With an 8-tier rack system and a wide temperature range of +30 to +125°C, it handles a broad spectrum of foods including meats, seafood, tofu and plant-based alternatives, making it a practical choice for commercial kitchens, food production facilities, boutique smokehouses and premium catering operations.

Precision is central to the ESH-8DB's design. A digital temperature display, adjustable ignition timer, concealed disc heating element and chimney with an adjustable damper give operators consistent, repeatable results with minimal guesswork. Thoughtful inclusions such as a removable wood chip box, drip tray and large viewing window keep daily operation efficient and cleaning straightforward.

Key Benefits

• Dual smoking and drying functions eliminate the need for separate pieces of equipment, saving space and capital outlay.
• Digital temperature control across a +30 to +125°C range lets operators dial in precise conditions for everything from gentle dehydration to full hot smoking.
• Adjustable ignition time (0–20 minutes) gives operators control over smoke onset, supporting consistent flavour development batch after batch.
• The large viewing window allows real-time monitoring without opening the door, maintaining internal temperature and improving food safety.
• Wood chip smoking allows flexible adjustment of smoke intensity and flavour profile by varying chip type, moisture content and burn temperature.
• An 8-tier rack configuration maximises product load per cycle, boosting throughput and productivity during busy service periods.
• The concealed disc heating element delivers even heat distribution and rapid temperature rise while minimising carbon build-up over time.
• Removable wood chip box and drip tray make routine maintenance quick and hygienic, reducing downtime between production runs.
• A hidden door handle gives the unit a clean, professional appearance and reduces the risk of accidental knocks in a busy kitchen environment.
