When buying new household appliances, outdated, but high-quality working devices are often sent for further service to country areas. Do not hurry to donate in scrap metal and an old, already faulty refrigerator, because he will be able to serve for many years as the main element of a remarkable homemade smokehouse.
1
The body from the old refrigerator is suitable for a cold way of smoking at a temperature of 18-30 ° C, since at higher temperatures required when smoking, the material will begin to oxidize, and the melting plastic and foam, laid inside the walls of most refrigerators, can lead to fire or The appearance of unpleasant odors during smoking.
2
Before starting work, remove the compressor, freezer and other extra parts made of plastic from the refrigerator. Leave metal lattices, they can serve as a stand for future smoked smoked devices and will not harm when exposed to low temperatures. Ideally, it is necessary to remove absolutely all elements of the internal finishing of the refrigerator, leaving only its metal base.

Drill on the side walls of the refrigerator additional holes for fastening them with opposes and lattices in the desired amount. Secure on the ceiling part of several metal hooks for hanging meat and fish. At the top of the refrigerator, make a hole for the smoke pipe of a small diameter. During the smoking process, the pipe will need to close. It will be needed only to stimulate thrust during the initial formation of smoke. Therefore, the experienced smokers constantly arise the disputes, whether to additionally install such a pipe, because smoke will always find a loophole to exit.

If only a metal box remained from the refrigerator, you can use a simple but energy consumption of smoking. In the lower part of the refrigerator, put a small electric stitch. Make a pallet from dense steel, a thickness of more than 5 mm. This pallet filled with fruit sawdusts, put on the tile on. Instead, you can use the steel frying pan. Take care that the refrigerator door is tightly closed. The smaller the air flows into the smoking, the less likely the probability that sawdust will light up.

For smoking without the use of electric stoves, make a hole at the bottom of the pipe refrigerator with a diameter of more than 10 cm. This metal tube, more than 2 m long, should be under the tilt, relative to the refrigerator, to provide traction. Drop the trench and jump into it the pipe. One end of the pipe should approach the opening in the refrigerator, the other is a small pit for a fire in the ground. The appearance of the plot will not suffer, since only the refrigerator will be visible part of the smokehouse.

Divide the fire in the pit. Having waited for the appearance of coal, put the pallet with sawdust on them, or sprinkle them right on the coal. Choose for smoking the sawdust of fruit and berry trees. After the appearance of a steady smoke, cover the fire pit with a heavy metal sheet or an old lid from a pan. Close the refrigerator tightly, with pre-suspended and decomposed products in it. The smoked process began.
The manufacture of homemade smokehouse from the primary means is an excellent way to save on the purchase of expensive electrical engineering, at the same time extended the life of old household subjects. Such a smokehouse will give a wonderful opportunity to delight yourself with delicious dishes of their own preparation.
