One cold Wisconsin winter day in 1976, the homemade smoker Harold Hanni crafted from an old chest freezer caught on fire. Nearly burning his house down, Harold was determined to find a better way.

After several drafts, Harold finally settled on his first smoker, the Model 100. Made by sausage makers, for sausage makers.

In 1977, Harold and his sons began building smokers for small meat markets and grocery stores. Thus, the Pro Smoker legacy was born.

As the business grew, the company expanded to include its sister brand, PS Seasoning, offering sausage blends from the Hanni family recipe book.

Today, Pro Smoker offers a full range of smokehouse options from 100 – 80,000 lb. capacity including BBQ, truck smokers, hand loaders, generators and more.

With over 16,000 units in the field today, Pro Smoker continues to produce products with a level of quality and pride only found in a four generation, family-owned company. That's the Pro Smoker difference.
