Owners of household plots wishing to have homemade smoked on their table, and not shopping delicacies whose quality often leaves much to be desired, think about installing smokehouse. Some prefer to acquire ready-made devices, while others, on the contrary, decide to build a smokehouse with their own hands. The benefits of the last option are obvious.
The advantages of homemade smokehouse consist not only in saving funds, since it is often technicians involved, but also the possibilities of setting the desired dimensions, to choose a complete set. If the value has the speed of cooking, the hot smoked smoking should be done. Products in it are preparing an average of 2.5-3 hours.
Homemade smokehouses are made of the following materials:
- metal and wooden barrels;
- old refrigerators and used gas cylinders;
- metal sheets cooked with each other;
- brick.
Capital and truly good smokehouse is considered to be the installation laid out of the brick. It not only performs its direct purpose, but also becomes a decoration of the household plot.
Hot smoked brick smoked smoking
It is a stationary installation option. Movement of bricks are distinguished by a wide variety and differ among themselves in size, functional features, devices. Large structures made of bricks are often designed in the form of houses, which adds attractiveness to the entire site.
The device of the smokehouse made of brick includes the following items:
- furnace;
- chimney;
- confused;
- smoking chamber;
- roof - upper overlap;
- doors.
The internal device assumes the presence of a pallet where the entire fat flows, which requires regular cleaning, metal grilles for the location of the workpieces. Inside the smoke chamber can provide a hook system. It allows you to hang ham and fish. The ideal solution becomes combining lattices and hooks in one installation, which allows you to accommodate more products for smoking.
A distinctive feature of hot smoked smoking from the cold is the location of the furnace. It is located directly under the smoking camera. This allows you to get a high temperature for rapid smoking meat blanks.
Construction of hot smoked smoked smoking
When the type of smoking and the material is defined, it is necessary to make a clear plan for further work. Brick smokehouse differs from other longer service life, but requires a solid approach. The technology is essentially comparable to the construction of a brick house, but only in miniature variation.
The order of work on the arrangement of a smokehouse of bricks:
- preparatory stage;
- selection of materials and tools;
- base bookmark - foundation;
- brickwork laying;
- entering the device in operation.
The design of hot smoked involves the absence of a flow for smoke. First, if you listen to the advice of experienced masters, it is recommended to make a drawing of the future smokehouse, decide on the exact size. This will avoid serious mistakes, correctly calculate the amount of brick.
It is not necessary to make drawings independently. You can take a finished project for an example. The main thing is to have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bhow smoking will look after the construction. Functional possibilities provide in advance, that is, the combination of installation for smoking with the brazier, stove, stove.
Preparatory work
This stage implies a choice of smoked type, since it determines the design of the device. In this particular case, it is supposed to build a "hot" smokehouse with a furnace under the smoke chamber and without the improvement of the flow for smoke. No less important is the selection of location, since the construction, regardless of the size and form, requires compliance with the standards of fire safety.
The process of operation of a stationary brick crypting involves the allocation of a large amount of soot and smoke, as well as the presence of fire. To avoid any possibility of fire, inhalation of combustion products, it should be located away from residential buildings, as well as economic structures. This rule concerns and green plantings. The territory on which the smokehouse is erected should be free from bushes and trees.
An ideal option will be the arrangement of a small zone, which is similar to the one that is done when installing the barbecue. It will look like aesthetically and organically.
Required materials and tools
Brick need to take exclusively refractory. It is permissible to apply ceramic. The main thing is impossible to use silicate. Such material is not suitable for the construction of a brick smokehouse. And how high-quality brick will be, the higher the service life for hot smoked. The most durable are smoking furnaces with the use of materials such as stone wool, facing, chamotte refractory and building types of bricks, as well as concrete blocks.
You need to prepare in advance:
- capacity under laying solution;
- hammer, construction level, celma, spatula;
- components under the foundation laying;
- lattice or bar;
- doors.
If smoking is planned to build a small, then a metal roof will be required. Building can be equipped with wooden doors. They can be made of metal, but this option is made independently more complicated, and if you order, it will significantly increase costs. The main thing is that the openings are laid out correctly, the doors closed tightly.
Foundation arrangement
Brick smokehouse has an impressive weight. This requires a mandatory base device. It, as a rule, is made by fill, using crushed stone, sand, metal grid, or laying a concrete slab.
The procedure for work is assumed as follows:
- first, a pit is digging with dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the future smokehouse;
- the crushed stone and sand falls on the bottom, the tight and smooth layer is rambling;
- the metal mesh is placed on top and concrete is flooded.
Construction can be started only after completely drying the base. It is impossible to hold the laying if the concrete did not have time to grab. This will lead to a violation of the integrity of the foundation and instability of the structure.
When it is possible to lay a reinforced concrete slab, it should certainly use it. This decision is much easier than the fill. This will greatly simplify the arrangement of the foundation.
Laying the bottom of the brick smokehouse
After completing the work on the base, the lower part of the future smoke-smoking stove is beginning to lay out:
- The first layer is laid by the construction, and the second is chamoten (refractory) brick.
- The side and rear wall of the lower part are shuting out of concrete blocks. In the side parts for access of the air masses, there are "gaps" equal to one block. On the side walls installed pissed.
- The inner of the furnace is folded with chamoten brick. It is stacked similarly to the block - with "gaps" on the sides.
- The front wall is placed with facing brick, leaving the place of installation of the door for the furnace.
- The back and side walls are lined with bricks.
On this work to arrange the lower part completed. You can go to the next step.
Installation of doors and laying of the top
The door is installed at a permanent place, securely fixed. Next, laying the outer walls with concrete blocks. The internal space is filled with refractory bricks.
A space is formed between chammatory brick and concrete blocks. It is filled with stone cotton. The use of thermal insulation prevents thermal losses, which allows the temperature at the desired level.
The lad out chamber is narrowed up. This is done to go to chimney. Be sure to leave openings under the door for the smoke chamber.
The final stage
Hot smoked smokehouse with her hands from the brick is almost completed. It remains only to lay out the base under the damper. This element is necessary in order to create optimal conditions for the smoking process.
The next step is mounted chimney. It is placed brick. So that it does not fall into it, you must provide a grid and a visor. The door is installed in the smoke chamber. To ensure control over the process of cooking smoked products, it is recommended to mount the thermometer.
The reinforced concrete plate or the bay foundation without decoration looks nonethetically. Therefore, in advance you need to think through what material to improve the platform. The main thing is to choose a refractory and non-combustible finish.
Commissioning
To check how much laying is made, it is recommended to test the sawdust test. You can immediately lay the blanks of meat or fish. The color and quality of smoked, also allow you to evaluate the result of the work done. The output tube is closed, they set fire to sawdust, waiting when smoking warms up, and then open the outlet. Leave the device to work for another half hour.
If smoke comes directly from smoke in the process, it means that not all the slots are securely closed. And in order to further exploit the device, it is immediately necessary to eliminate these shortcomings. Regarding the quality of smoked, then the extracted billets must have a golden "crust", be hot and fragrant.
