Today, the advantages of smokehouse with their own hands on the country area or near the private house are obvious - fish and meat acquire the original taste, and compared with the stores for the quality and freshness of the product can always be vouch.
It is easy to find information on how to build a smokehouse from undergraduate materials, but the brick version will serve for a longer time, it does not need special skills and funds to build such a structure, the main thing is diligence and patience. If you follow the instructions, in the near future you can delight close and friends with fragrant smoked smoked.
Preparation for building
It is worth paying attention to the place where the smokehouse of brick is planned with their own hands, because it is a stationary design that is not subject to movement. The plot should be chosen away from housing and the garden, so that the smoke does not interfere with the plants to people, having previously cleared it from garbage, plants and can be started to bookmark the foundation.
Next, it is necessary to determine whom the type will be a brick smokehouse: for hot smoked, a cold or combined version consisting of two departments. Regardless of which option will be selected, the future structure will consist of the following parts:
- Fireplace.
- Fire.
- Gear.
- Grid for products.
- Cap.
Create a drawing and work plan
If it is already decided to build a smokehouse with your own hands, regardless of its size, thoughtful drawings and plan - the necessary step. Work is easier to paint stages, the approximate plan will look like this:
- Preparation of a plot to the fill of the foundation.
- Acquisition of tools and building materials.
- Installing the foundation.
- Brickwork.
- If the cryptic smoking smoke is chosen from bricks, it is necessary to build a flow for smoke.
- Testing the finished design.
Materials that will be required to build a brick smokehouse.
When choosing a brick, it is better to give preference for refractory or ceramic products. Silicate brick is not suitable for buildings of this type. We will also need:
- Doors and stainless metal lid.
- Cement.
- Shovel, level, spatula and mixing tank.
- Grill for products made of metal (you can use rods).
Lay the foundation and masonry for smoking
The concrete pillow is created using a solid concrete slab or handled from a steel mesh, rubble, sand and concrete as follows:
The process of masonry bricks
The masonry makes, scrubbing a grip (low side of the brick), which allows you to fill the vertical seams, since when laying the stone is shifted to the joint. A solution is applied to the foundation. With the appearance of surplus solution (with pressing bricks), the remnants are cleaned by a trowel.
Figure 2. base laying In order for the masonry to be smooth, the brick is slightly hit by a rubber hammer. The use of the construction level is mandatory for compliance with smooth corners of the construction. The masonry occurs in the ranks, after each, the height of the construction is measured to avoid irregularities. To smoke with your hands from the brick, you have acquired an aesthetic look, it is worth using several tips:
Laying smoke
The difference between the smoking and hot smoked smokers is visible in the length of the chimney. Since the cold smoking process requires a cooled smoke, the chimney must have the required length. When the hot smoked smoking smoke is installed, the chimney must be short. On the one hand, such a chimney is limited to a hearth (furnace), on the other - the camera for smoking.
Camera for smoked
Camera for smoking products may have a round, oval or rectangular shape (height up to 1.5, size 1 sq. M.). To erect such a chamber, a clay solution (or cement) is used, gradually laying the brick on it. Why use clay? Because when heated, it does not highlight harmful substances, which means the smokehouse will not spoil the product. At the top of the rods or the grating for products are installed, in the lower part you can install a burlap that will serve as a kind of smoke filter. At the bottom of the chamber, it is advisable to put a tray for grease collection.

The furnace is installed on the other end of the chimney, it can be made of thick sheet iron, it is necessary to trace so that under it there was a pond to produce and collect ash. Outside the furnace is plated brick.
What is different in the design of a cold smoking smoking with her hands from "hot"?
In the design of the smokelers of different types there are differences. In the process of hot smoking, it is necessary to install the focus directly under the smoking chamber, during the cold - the hearth is located aside, and the chimney is set to the chamber.
Advantages and disadvantages of brick smokels
The quality of construction depends on the quality of the material. The service life of the brick smoking also depends on how good the brick was used. The advantages of using bricks can be attributed:
- Large service life compared to other materials.
- Relative cheapness.
- A wide choice of color, which will make it harmoniously combine the future building with already existing.
- Ecology.
- Properties save heat.
One of the main deficiencies in construction is the complexity in the masonry, requiring certain skills and skills in the construction industry.
When choosing a brick for the construction of smokehouse, choose high-quality material is easy. The disturbed form, "Break" places says that the brick was made with violation of technology. But even a qualitative product has a number of minuses - high water absorption, exposure to chemical influence (relevant for areas where enterprises of the chemical industry are located), but in general, this material is quite capable of working out from a dozen years without an additional restoration.

The result of fruitful work The advantages of the Movement of the Brick itself are obvious: not only the opportunity to try delicious and healthy food, but also an excellent designer solution for any site. Equipped with additional shelves and washing the smokehouse will be a real help in the household.
