Smoking smoke generators are very popular with those who love food with "smoke" and are widely used in the food industry. They are valued not only due to the fact that with the help of them you can independently prepare smoked products, but also because they are easy to manufacture and maintenance.

What is a smoke generator?
The smoke generator is a special device that generates or creates a smoke smoke for smoking various foods. In the smoke generator, smoke is formed due to the decline of sawdust and the chips of predominantly hardwood. They can be, for example, oak, alder, etc. At the same time, sawdust and sins do not ignite, but only smooth. Smoke is formed in smokehouses, or in a different way they are called sausage thermal chambers. Created by smoke due to temperature difference or using fans. A smoke generator feeds from the household network voltage of 220 V.
(Fig. 2 - Approximate device of any smoke generator)
How the smoke generator is arranged - the principle of operation
The smoke generator works on the principle of pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is the process of decomposition of organic natural compounds with a lack of oxygen, in our case - wood. The essence of the smoke generator is quite simple. The production of smoke occurs due to the simultaneous flow of two continuous interconnected processes: heating sawdust and oxygen-free.
The smoke generator device itself is a closed compact box, not large sizes, each part of which performs certain functions.
- The front of. Here is the switches panel, which allows you to control the operation of the device.
- Top part. It contains a bunker for supplying chips and a pipe for removal of smoke.
- The inner part is equipped with a mechanism that supplies the dosed amount of chips to the heating element, the tray for collecting ash and the electronic controller, which is responsible for the temperature mode and the chip feed frequency.
The controller is always configured to the optimal mode, allowing the temperature of the heating element to provide a guaranteed chip caution and prevent its fire. The mechanism of supplying chips is adjusted in such a way as to ensure a stable supply of fresh thick smoke in the smoke chamber.
Dimensions of smoke generators
One smoke generator may differ from the other, the factory models of devices have a passport, which indicates the optimal volume of the cabinet. As for homemade smoke generators, the container to which the smoke generator is attached must correspond to its power, because if it is for a small dymogenerator of smoke to attach a container for several tons of products, there will be no effect. Therefore, it is necessary to relate the performance of the source of smoke with the volume of the cabinet so that it is sufficiently filled with smoke.
A homemade smoke generator, as a rule, is connected to the tank, which is selected experimentally. In accordance with what, to relate the volume of the generator and the cabinet to specify precisely difficult, as it is necessary to take into account the performance that all devices have different. However, the cabinet is most often used by a volume of about 0.3 m3. In this case, each can create a device in its size.

Where the smoke generator and its advantages are used.
The smoke generator can be useful not only to amateurs smoked, but also dacms, fishermen, hunters and even entrepreneurs who can receive income from copyright smoked.
The smoke generation device will make it possible to prepare a variety of food at home:
- fish;
- meat;
- fat;
- vegetables.
The advantage of the "home" smoke generator compared with the "purchased" smoked meals from shops and supermarkets:
- Thanks to the device, you can prepare natural home delicacies from natural products. All products do not require natural fats, no additional spices and ingredients in the cooking process. Unlike products from shops that have gained their taste with chemical flavors.
- In the home smoking process, you decide what additives will be used in preparation. In smoked out of supermarkets, manufacturers always add preservatives and taste amplifiers to keep the product for a long time, which adversely affects health.
- The cost is at least 2 times lower, and quality is 10 times better!
- You are always confident in the high quality of the product and can invent your original dish.
- Admiration of friends when they try smoked homemade fish. Smoked fish from the store is not able to surprise and is unlikely to become a welcome dish on a festive table.

Is it possible to do the smoke generator with their own hands
The smoke generator for smokehouse is a fairly simple, but an extraordinarily effective device that is quite possible. The whole attractiveness of the smokegenerator is that it can work in automatic mode. In the smoke wardrobe, the temperature is achieved not too high, so fear that the products are burnt, should not.
The secret of the installation is how to ensure constant uniform burning and how to give smoke to the smoke cabinet. To assemble a smoke generator for smoking in the conditions of a home workshop, you will not need many items.
At the same time, all components can be easily bought in the store or, good search, find in its own garage or home workshop. Drawings and instructions for assembling the smoke generator for smokehouse - in abundance on the Internet. To build a smoke generator with your own hands, you will need another welding machine, Bulgarian and some skills to work with them.
Fire extinguisher smoke generator
A spent fire extinguisher can be taken as a practical and affordable billet for the smoke generator. For the manufacture of adaptation, there will be no significant investment of funds. Elements that will be required:
- fire extinguisher case;
- pipe for the withdrawal of smoke;
- air supply compressor or fan (cooler);
- nipple 3/4;
- sign Long 3/4 (for the withdrawal of smoke);
- tee 3/4;
- fitting;
- copper tube, diameter 14 mm.
Below is the scheme of the homemade smoke generator from the fire extinguisher.
The fire extinguisher is taken with a diameter of about 100 mm and a length of 400 - 500 mm. Such dimensions will allow you to produce enough smoke for the smoke chamber with a volume of up to 1 m³. At the bottom of the tank drills two holes Ø 10 mm for pissed. It is located at an altitude of 50 mm from the bottom. For the upper part, use a fire extinguisher cover with sliced \u200b\u200binner tube thread.
From the fire extinguisher smoke to the smoking chamber, it falls through an inch tube with a length of 150-250 mm, screwed into a tee.
The compressor will fit various compressors with a small productivity:
- for aquarium;
- in this case, the computers cooling fan (laptop).
To power the compressor assembled from cardboard, the stationery tape and the computer fan will suit the charger from the mobile phone. It is easier to use the factory compressor, provided that it is in stock, since its acquisition will significantly detold the entire design.
(Fig. 7 - air blower from the cooler for the smoke generator)
Under the smoke chamber you can adjust the old refrigerator. The advantages of such a solution:
- dense door closing due to hermetic seal;
- the optimal temperature and smoke density in a cold smoking chamber.
Making a smoke generator with its own hands from a girlish cylinder will require the performer of technical cavalry and the presence of tools.
