The short version
Smoke and Lump has not been accepted onto any affiliate programme as of 29 July 2026. We are not earning commission on retailer links. When a programme accepts us — Awin, Amazon Associates, or a direct retailer arrangement — this page will be updated with the date, and the relevant links on the site will start earning.
The /go/ links you’ll see on the site
Some retailer links on Smoke and Lump route through smokeandlump.co.uk/go/[slug]/ before forwarding you to the retailer’s site. These carry a rel="sponsored" attribute per ASA UK guidance and Google’s link-quality policy — a signal that the link is intended to be a commercial one. Today those redirects go to plain external retailer URLs and earn nothing. The infrastructure exists so we’re ready to swap in affiliate tracking the day a programme accepts us, without needing to edit every review individually.
Editorial independence
We choose what to review and what to recommend based on what we think is good for our readers. We have never accepted payment in exchange for a positive review, for placement in a best-of list, or to suppress a negative finding. Where equipment has been gifted, lent, or discounted, that arrangement is declared inline on the relevant review page.
Per-page disclosure
Every review and Buying Guide carries its own disclosure — the provenance chain, current commercial relationships (none), and the specific arrangement behind any equipment featured. Those per-page disclosures are the authoritative source; this page is the site-wide summary. See the full Disclosures page for the supply log of every unit we’ve cooked on.
