do it yourself.
A person comes up with various ways of preserving products from ancient times, and one of them is smoking. Why should a smokehouse be made, they are divided mainly into 2 types — this is hot and cold smoking. In the first case, heat treatment occurs with the saturation of the product with smoke, while the cold smokehouse maintains a temperature of 15-25 ° C
0 the product in it is slowly dehydrated, dried, saturated with smoke, the process is very long from a day or more. In European countries, the averaged version with a short chimney is also increasingly being practiced, which makes it possible to smoked meat, chicken, fish and even cheese much faster.

Step-by-step instructions for building do-it-yourself smokehouse. The first step is to specifically determine the future location of the building on your site, it is better to put it near the gazebo, so that it is convenient to control the process while sitting under the roof and drinking gulls while the meat is smoked) It should also be taken into account that the capital buildings (house, bathhouse) should be at a distance. Smoke and smoke from the smokehouse should not interfere with others and neighbors, respectively.
Next, we prepare a place for pouring a shallow foundation and remove the sod. The deepening will be about 15-20 cm, which is quite normal for a light construction.
Then a small formwork is made for filling the slab. The solution is mainly prepared in the ratio of 1 part cement, 3 parts sand, 4-5 parts of the filler (crushed stone, granular screenings, rubble stone, crumb brick) in general who has what is available.After the foundation is poured, it is necessary to wait until the cement hardens and hardens, according to the rules, it is 28 days, but as usual, after a week, the foundation will already begin to lay another. It is also advisable while the foundation is hardening to periodically moisten it with water, so there will be no drying out and the plate will be stronger.
Then we disassemble the formwork slowly, lay the waterproofing layer (roofing material) and lay out the walls of the smokehouse from cement hollow blocks. Rebar bars are placed in voids.
Parallel to the construction of the base walls, the master also paves a convenient area of paving stones, which harmoniously merges with the garden path and the concrete walls of the smokehouse.
The inner part is formed to fit the size of the firebox, which will be in the form of a metal box with an oven door. In advance, the slope of the chimney pipe is provided so that the draft is better.
After that, the firebox is installed in the form of a metal box (you can also lay it out of brick) In the side part, a hole was made for installing the pipe, everything is connected and filled with mortar with rubble stone, in this case paving stones, broken brick, slag, crushed stone will do. Thus, even if the pipe or the furnace itself burns out, then nothing bad will happen, because the frozen solution will take the form of a chimney and a furnace.
Next, metal plates are laid out to create a warm air pocket.
The voids in the blocks are filled with solution.
The upper part is leveled with cement mortar.
The barbecue area is laid out of refractory brick on clay mortar.
After which the author proceeds to the manufacture of a smoking cabinet, makes a frame from a 40x40 beam in the form of a small house with a roof of 2 slopes and finishes the walls with an aspen lining.
Attention!Use hardwood exclusively. Conifers should not be used, because there will be the release of resin and the corresponding smell when heated inside the chamber. All this will settle naturally on smoked products, and then enter the body.
Also, be sure to make a chimney in the form of a small pipe with an overlapping damper so that you can control the concentration of smoke inside the smoke cabinet.
After that, the smoking house is installed on the base of the chimney and is fastened with anchor bolts. The outer surface can be coated with stain. It is desirable to cover the roof with metal, because there is an open fireplace (barbecue) nearby. To determine the temperature inside the smoking chamber, you should install a thermometer, it costs not much.
For barbecue, the author set the grate, and tried to fry sausages, later made a multi-level stand for several grates.
Inside the smoking house, perches and hooks made of 3-4 mm steel wire are made for hanging the product. In the lower part there is a tray for collecting fat, as well as a grill, then it is needed so that an unintentionally dropped piece does not fall deep into the chimney, and if it falls on the grill it will simply continue to smoke and that's it.
Thus, the author built a capital smokehouse on his site and can now smoke various products at any convenient time. As you can see, everything is quite simple and understandable, it’s quite within the power of a person who knows how to hold a tool in his hands. You have a good example and step-by-step instructions, so go for it friends!
