How to make a smoke generator for smoking

Buying smoked products in the store or on the market, there is always a risk that they will be poor-quality or not quite fresh. You can avoid this if you smoke fish or meat itself. The processing technology is very simple, and even the smokehouse will do it yourself.

The design of the smokehouse includes: a wardrobe with shelves or hooks for products and a smoke generator, in which sawdust. Among themselves, they are hermetically connected by the pipe. And if everything is more or less clear with the cabinet, then the smoke generator is more technically more difficult. Its essence for smokehouse is in the development of smoke and throwing it into the camera with future smoked smoked. The smoke generator can be made from any submitted means. An old car fire extinguisher, a cut of a profile pipe or part of the drainage.

To make a smoke generator from the profile pipe, you will need a segment of 60 cm long. A convenient size of the section for later maintenance is a size of 10 cm. The bottom of the smoke generator can be removable, which will allow you to quickly remove exilets from previous smoking. The bottom can be tightly welded, but then it is necessary to provide for the possibility of disconnecting the smoke generator from the smoke feed pipe or make this pipe elastic. Extract sawdust in this case will also be simple. The design of the lid is an option for creativity. So, sometimes refractory tiles are involved, simply covering the pipe, and sometimes the process is suitable more seriously and pick up a dense cap from heat-resistant rubber.

In the profile pipe, we make several holes. The first will serve as a place for ignition of sawdust or chips with a gas burner, matches, turbo lighters. It is located below. The second is needed to connect the aircraftter hose. Hold it next to the first hole. You can force the air using aquarium pump with a power of about 1.5 liters per minute, as well as a cooler from the computer. In the latter case, the cooler is hermetically attached to the plastic bottle, the blades are inserted there with air, and on the hose, dressed on the neck, the air enters the smoke generator. Another convenient option: the air for the ignition falls through the at the bottom and goes through the extra hole above. So you can get rid of electrical elements. To the third hole, which will be at the top of the smoke generator, weld a small segment of the metal tube. We have a elastic hose on it and secure it by the assembly clamp. The second segment of the elastic hose, also with the help of a clamp, is attached to a smoking cabinet.

Selecting the length of the hose, you can achieve the necessary temperature in the smokehouse. Introduces a coil with cold running water into the smoke feed pipe to reduce its temperature too problematic. The ideal temperature for cold smoked is about 30 degrees. Hot is considered smoking with a temperature inside the cabinet more than 60 degrees. Then the elastic hose can be excluded from this design and connect the smoke generator directly to the cabinet, simply substituting the top welded metal tube into the hole of the smokehouse.

Homemade smoking is gaining great popularity among craftsmen and good cooking. Remember that one day having accounted for guests with meat or fish from his smokehouse, you will be forced to use it and for the preparation of products of your friends - request will be very much.
