The HAKKA DSH-S10E is a compact stainless steel smoking cabinet with two racks and a digital control panel. Where the other smokers in our guide are built for ribs and pork shoulder, this one is pitched at cheese, fish, bacon, nuts and sausages. Its low 30 °C setting and countertop size are what make it different.

In its favour
- A low 30 °C setting suits cooler smoking of cheese, fish and nuts.
- At 12.4 kg and about 47 cm wide, it is the smallest and lightest smoker here.
- A 0 to 12 hour timer and a rear exhaust vent give simple control.
Good to know
- Two racks limit it to small batches, far less than the Masterbuilt cabinets.
- The listing does not explain how wood chips are loaded or state the plug type.
Our take
Controls and temperature range
HAKKA lists an adjustable range of 30 to 110 °C and a timer that runs from 0 to 12 hours. You set both on a simple control panel and leave it. The bottom of that range is far cooler than the Masterbuilt cabinets reach, which is why the maker talks about cold smoking fish and cheese.
At the top, 110 °C is enough for hot smoking fish or sausages, but lower than the roughly 135 °C the larger cabinets offer for long pork cooks.
Size, build and venting
The cabinet measures about 43 x 47 x 40 cm and weighs 12.4 kg. There are two racks and a food tray. The body is stainless steel inside and out, according to the specification.
There is no chimney. Instead, an exhaust vent at the back can be opened or closed depending on how much smoke you want to hold in. The listing does not explain how wood chips are loaded or how much they hold, so check the product images for the chip tray before you buy.
Indoor or outdoor
The listing calls it an indoor smoker that fits on a countertop. Any smoker releases smoke through its vent, so think carefully about where you will run it and make sure the space is well ventilated.
The listing does not state the plug type or voltage, so confirm the unit is supplied for UK mains.
Compared with the Masterbuilt range
Next to the Masterbuilt 40-inch Digital, with more than 970 square inches over four racks, the HAKKA is tiny. The Masterbuilt MES 35B Analog is the simplest of the larger cabinets but still offers three racks. The HAKKA wins only if you want low temperatures and small batches in a small space.
Verdict
Choose the HAKKA DSH-S10E if you mainly want to smoke cheese, fish or nuts in small batches and have limited space. For ribs, brisket or a pork shoulder, a full cabinet such as the Masterbuilt 30-inch Digital with legs or the Masterbuilt 710 WiFi is the better buy.
