Norwegian term or phrase: Røykutvikler
This is an electric heating element which produces smoke from a single smoking wood chunk.

I think the proper translation might be 'smoke generator' however these often use pellets/chips, and I am not sure whether the term smoke generator would be broad enough to encompass my product as well, or if it refers only to a specific design.

Any other suggestions/insights welcome!

Explanation:
If for a patent spec., best stick to a literal translation of 'smoke generator', though patent translators I used to work with inhouse in Central London advised: 'when in doubt, call it a unit, device or a widget e.g. a generating unit '.
