Smoke devils can be assigned as a slayer task at level 93 Slayer and level 85 combat by high-end Slayer masters. They are only found in the Smoke Devil Dungeon south of Castle Wars and can only be fought if on a task. They attack with magical ranged. As with dust devils, players must wear a facemask or slayer helm when fighting smoke devils, or their attacks will always deal moderate damage that also drains stats.

Players may choose between killing smoke devils or their boss variant, the thermonuclear smoke devil.

When killing normal smoke devils, players are highly encouraged to use barrage spells, as smoke devils have a high defence level. Although they have very high magic defence, they have a low magic level, which means most spells will still be reasonably accurate. A cannon is strongly recommended to lure the smoke devils, as their cave is extremely large and trying to stack them without one is significantly slower. Players who have obtained rewards from the elite tier of Combat Achievements should have enough cannonballs for one rotation to lure all the smoke devils, while those without may need to reload their cannon once to do so. Place the cannon in the centre of the dungeon and stack the smoke devils as they aggro, using the remains to the sides to stack them. Restore the stack when three or less smoke devils are left.

When killing the boss, players can opt between melee or magic. Magic is faster but more expensive, while melee is less cost but requires more attention.

If players wish to maximise profit from the task, killing the boss is recommended. If seeking to quickly clear the task or obtain the imbued heart/eternal gem, kill normal smoke devils instead. Their superior, the nuclear smoke devil, has a fairly high chance of rolling the table, second only to the Colossal Hydra.
