drencrom Posted March 30, 2015 at 06:34 AM Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 at 06:34 AM I have been trying to find a BBQ smoker on Taobao or Tmall. However, I cannot find the right word to use. Usually, I start by searching in English and seeing if anything comes up. Then, I extract the Chinese name from the search results and search again, refining as necessary. Sometimes I have to use a translator and try Bing image search to see if I've got the right noun. But today I'm stumped. I've found smoked meat, smokers accessories, and garden fumigators, but no BBQ smoker. I thought I finally nailed it with 熏烟器, it sounds right because of 熏烟肉, but it's definitely not right. 发烟器 is those disco smoke generators. Does anyone know how to say smoker in Chinese? I'm not looking for a regular gas BBQ grill, a smoker is a bit different. While gas grills are designed to cook quickly, smokers cook at a low temperature for hours and hours. To be clear, I'm looking for something like the following photos. The big smoker with separate firebox: The portable smoker grill: Oil drum smoker: Egg smoker: Thanks to anyone who can help! If you feel generous you can include a link to the Taobao or Tmall search terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
