Names After Historical Figures
Moving on to our next category of smoker names – historical figures. You can name your smoker after your favorite historical figure or you can go even further and choose one who used to be a heavy smoker. It’s no secret that smoking cigars, cigarettes, and pipes has been a favorite pastime for many greats throughout history, so why not name your smoker after them?
For example, you could name your smoker after legendary writer and heavy cigar smoker, Mark Twain, and call it “The Twain Smoker”. Or, if you’re a fan of presidential history, you could go for “Madison” or “Roosevelt”.
And let’s not forget about the infamous cigar smoker himself, Winston Churchill, who smoked 10 cigars a day. Why not honor the UK Prime Minister with a smoker named “The Churchill”?
Remember, while it’s fun to pay tribute to the greats, make sure the name still fits your own personal style and taste.
So, whether you go for Mark Twain or Winston Churchill, naming your smoker after a historical figure who loved to smoke is sure to add a touch of class and sophistication to your BBQ setup.
Mind you, this is not to promote smoking in any form.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Name
Alright, we’ve talked about some of the different categories of smoker names, but how do you actually go about choosing the perfect name for your smoker? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with some tips.
First off, consider the size and shape of your smoker. If you’ve got a big, bulky smoker, you might want to go for a name that reflects its grandeur, like “The Behemoth” or “Big Bertha.” On the other hand, if your smoker is on the smaller side, you could go for a name that reflects its cute and compact nature, like “Lil’ Smokey” or “Pipsqueak.”
Another tip is to brainstorm with friends and family. Get a group together and have a brainstorming session. Throw out different name ideas and see what sticks. Who knows, you might come up with a hilarious name that you never would have thought of on your own.
Most importantly, you should be the one who makes the final decision. Your own personality and sense of humor should be reflected in the name. After all, your smoker is an extension of yourself.
So, whether you go for a funny name, a historical figure name, or a famous pitmaster name, make sure it’s a name that you love and that makes you smile every time you fire up the smoker.
And with that, my fellow smoking enthusiasts, go forth and name your smoker with pride!
