Capable of being used in [hot or cold smoking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-offset-charcoal-smoker) endeavors, the attachment works by being affixed onto the side and bottom of a BBQ. The converter allows [wood chips or pellets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recteq-xfire-pro) to be placed inside and lit in order to get the smoke flowing. Requiring no power to work, the device then goes to work pumping smoke into the cooking chamber. This allows the unit to be used during the day or overnight to provide delicious meats the next day. The Smokemeister BBQ Smoker Grill Converter is priced at just over $100 to make it an affordable add-on for [BBQ enthusiasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-joe-konnected-joe). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **BBQ Smoker Attachments:** The Smokemeister BBQ Smoker Grill Converter offers an affordable and convenient way for outdoor chefs to try their hand at smoking meat without investing in a standalone smoker. - **DIY Smoking Kits:** Aspiring pitmasters are looking for affordable DIY solutions to convert their existing outdoor grills into smokers, creating an opportunity for companies to sell smoking kits and conversion accessories. - **Portable Smoking Units:** The rise of portable outdoor grilling has created a demand for compact and portable smoking units that can be easily transported to camping trips, tailgating events, and picnics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Cooking and Grilling:** The Smokemeister BBQ Smoker Grill Converter and similar innovations provide opportunities for outdoor cooking and grilling industry to offer novel and affordable ways to enhance the cooking and smoking experience for consumers. - **DIY and Home Improvement:** The demand for DIY smoking kits and conversion accessories offer viable opportunities for the DIY and home improvement industry to offer comprehensive solutions that cater to the needs of outdoor cooking enthusiasts. - **Camping and Outdoor Recreation:** Portable smoking units represent a disruptive innovation for the camping and outdoor recreation industry, as it offers an easy and accessible way for consumers to enjoy home-smoked meat during their outdoor adventures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indoor-Friendly Smoker Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smokerx.md) - [Filter-Equipped Indoor Smokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-pellet-smoker.md) - [Hybrid Outdoor Smokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asmoke-skylights-wood-pellet.md) - [At-Home Cocktail Smokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-cocktail-smoker.md) - [Smart Indoor Smoker Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ge-profile-indoor-smoker.md) - [Intelligent Pellet-Powered Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asmoke-essential-pellet-grill.md) - [Cast-Iron Recipe Smokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-iron-smoker-skillet.md) - [Smartphone-Connected Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-pellet-barbecue-grill.md) - [Air-Circulating Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-woodfire-outdoor-grill.md)
