How to make a smoke barrel

Probably none of us will give up tasty smoked, prepared not in production conditions. Prepare such an environmentally friendly delicacy will be able to each. A simple smokehouse made from barrel will help.

We will need:

metal barrel of large volume from 100 to 200 liters;
metal rods about 10 mm in diameter;
steel grille;
sheet steel;
door loops 2-3 pieces;
pipe 10-15 cm in diameter;
wooden board, in width equal to the diameter of the barrel.

The barrel from which you want to make a smokehouse must be absolutely clean inside. To do this, it must be burned or rinsed thoroughly. Bulgarian need to cut the barrel cover. It is not worth throwing out - she will come in handy.

At the bottom of the barrel cut the square hole. Approximate size 30x30 cm, to the cut part, we attach door loops, handle and valve. Install the door on the barrel where you just cut out this part. The furnace smokehouse is ready. Here you will download firewood when cooking smoked.

With the help of a grinder along the bottom of the barrels we make 3-4 longitudinal holes. They will serve as a kind of confusion. Through them will also remove the ash from the furnace.

At an altitude of 1/3 of the barrel, welded a cut-off cover from the barrel. It will be the bottom of the smokehouse. It is better, of course, to perform the bottom of the steel with a thickness of 4 mm. Then the bottom does not procee, and the heat will be better distributed.

The pipe must be beaten and breed into the barrel with the opposite side of the side. Do not do the pipe too high. This will entail a strong craving, and the taste of smoked, worsen.

From sheet steel you need to make a tray for collecting excess fat. The pallet must be 3-5 cm less in diameter than barrel. Inside the barrel at an altitude of 15 cm from the bottom of the smokehouse, we weld the cross will increase the rail rods. This will be put here.

At the top of the barrel welded short pins from four sides. They will keep the grille of smoking. The height of the lattice installation is the same as the number of lattices depends on the initial size of the barrel. It should be borne in mind that the welded pins should not interfere with the recess of the pallet. If you decide to make several lattices, you need to weld the pins so that the distance between the lattices is 15-20 cm.

Cover for smokehouse made of wooden boards. A few holes are made in the lid for extra moisture. If you wish to the bottom of the smoke, you can fight legs, but you can simply install it on bricks to ensure air flow into the furnace.

Such a smokehouse is suitable for almost any kind of products. At the exit of smoked breaths have a fragrant smell, a beautiful golden color and a unique taste.
