Easy and traditionally used in all culinary cultures of the world, cold smoked technology is designed to obtain appetizing snacks from fish and various meat varieties.
The own smokehouse in the house or in the country diversifies the process of preparing delicacies, especially in cases where it comes to avid fishermen and hunters.
This is a simple and reminiscent of a simple stove, the device can be collected from the remedies at different situations.
Collapsible smokehouse do it yourself
You can build a temporary smokehouse right at the fishing site, or to make a stationary structure in the courtyard of the house, which will give the promotion of culinary fantasy and will allow you to enjoy the unique smoked taste without harming your health.
The main principle of smoking is a long-term smoke of smoke at a certain temperature of pre-saltized products.
Therefore, before proceeding with the study of various recipes for smoked fish or sausages, you need to get a smoke-camera, which will produce smoke in the right mode and with the desired properties.
The main working device of the smokehouse is a smoke generator that can be made from the remedies.
Camera for products can be built, giving the second life to spoiled refrigerator, gas stove, metal barrels and cylinders.
Portable and collapsible homemade smokehouse is most convenient for use. It can be disassembled and stored, as well as exported to picnics, hunting and fishing.
The prefabricated design allows you to introduce improvements, replace parts and containers. For the manufacture of such a smoke apparatus, you need an old gas cylinder, two metal barrels, steel plates and rods, 5 half-meter pipe sections with a diameter of 10 cm, from tools - Bulgarian, drill and welding machine.
The gas cylinder becomes a furnace, smoked cameras are cut from metal barrels, in which metal grids and rods for products are installed.
The chimney is mounted from the pipes, into which the homemade smoke generator is inserted - the device for the production and supply of smoke in the chambers with products. The temperature of the smoke is adjusted for the length of the removable nozzle.
Principle of operation and assembly of the smoke generator
Before making a smoke generator with your own hands, it is necessary to present the principle of operation of the smokehouse: in the furnace, due to constant heating, a combustible material takes place, smoke, passing through the pipe, is cooled to the desired temperature - from 20 to 40 degrees Celsius, depending on the product being processed.
Here is the purification of harmful impurities and the sedimentation of condensate, after which the smoke falls into the smoking chamber, to fulfill its destination.
The housing of the smoking smoke can be any metal dishes, such as a bidone or a deep pan, in the lid of which you need to drill a hole for fitting - the parts of the smoke connecting with the chimney.
Sawdles designed for burning are placed on the bottom of the tank, on the side, at a height of about 3 cm from the bottom, you need to provide an ignition hole.
The case is then a connection for aquarium compressor, and in front of the furnace - a hole for the chimney, which is connected to the camera with products.

Variety of smoke generator designs
The appearance and functionality of the homemade smoke generator depends on the situation. Temporary structures can be built in 5 minutes, but with a more serious approach you can get a factory quality and aesthetics.
The smoke generator compressor can be installed both below and in the upper part of the housing. Instead of aquarium processor, you can use any other electrical pump with a capacity of 4-5 watts.
The main goal of the compressor is to supply oxygen for combustion, so for this purpose crafts can accommodate coolers and fans from various devices.
There are many options for collecting the housing, it can be made from the heat-resistant pipe, you can apply various variants of output pipes, supplement the design with a container to assemble condensate, an ordinary water tower is used as an ejector.
You can improve the location of the ignition attaching a metal spiral for the bottom of the housing.
