Principle of operation is quite simple. At the bottom put small chips or large sawdust. The product that will be smoked is placed on a special grate or spit at some distance from the wood filler. The smokehouse is closed, and then it is placed on a fire or it is bred from below. When heated, the chips produce a very hot smoke. The product is simultaneously treated with high temperature and impregnated with smoke components, creating a special taste.
Smokehouse of hot smoking can be of two types:
- Fixed - placed on a brick foundation. Under the smokehouse with products make a firebox. The exposure temperature is from thirty-five to fifty-five degrees.
- Portable is a compact container that is made of black steel or stainless steel. It consists of a body equipped with handles, covers and grilles. The body has walls and a bottom, which are connected together by welding. They are made of sheet steel. The grating is placed in the middle of the shell or somewhat higher. A number of models are equipped with a pallet for collecting ash.
Hot Smoked Smoking Smokehouse
Considering ways to make a smokehouse with your own hands, there are several main directions. To get the most durable structure, you should use a brick.
Stage one: preparation of the
base The brick smoking smoker has a significant weight, therefore it requires a stable base. The place is chosen so that it is located away from other buildings. This will increase fire safety and will not allow smoke to penetrate into the living quarters.

To equip the foundation dig a hole depth of about thirty centimeters. In it rows are laid hollow concrete blocks. The joints between the blocks are filled with mortar of concrete. Each next row of material is placed across the previous one. This will provide additional strength.
The reinforcement is installed in the blocks , and then the voids are poured with concrete. The topmost layer of the foundation is laid out of solid concrete blocks.
Stage two: the lower part of the brick smokehouse
is produced. The service life of the smokehouse from the brick must be very significant, so you should carefully select the material and place it correctly. To erect smokehouse smoky smoked with their own hands will require the following materials:
- concrete blocks and building bricks;
- fireclay refractory bricks;
- facing bricks;
- stone wool.
After the preparation of the materials, the lower part of the structure is first erected. Scheme work is discussed below.
- layer of building bricks is laid out on the foundation surface. He is already laying a layer of fireclay fireclay.
- The rear and side parts of the structure are laid out of concrete blocks .It is very important that there are holes on each side that have a width of one block. They are needed for air access. On the sides of the future smokehouse are installed ashtrays.
- Inside the oven space, is lined with fireclay , leaving the lateral clearances open. The front wall is made of facing bricks , it leaves room for the door to be installed. Outside, the side and back parts are covered with a facing brick to give the furnace an attractive appearance.

Step Three: Top Covering and Door Assembly
Next, the door fastening and the are considered in the instructions for the construction of the smoker.
First, the door is fixed and fixed. This helps determine where exactly the shelves for the grids should be.
External walls are laid out from concrete blocks , and from the inside are coated with fireclay bricks , which is resistant to high temperatures.
The gap between concrete blocks and a layer of fireclay bricks should be filled with with rock wool .The thermal barrier layer prevents heat loss and it is easier to maintain the desired temperature in the smoker chamber.
When the opening is bricked in one row, a wire is output above the door to power the flashlight. The wire must be carefully insulated so that it is not damaged by high temperatures.
The next step is to go to the chimney .For this, the camera tapers slightly.
Stage four: final

The tank is removed from the body of the washing machine and the various holes are closed. They are closed with metal plates, which are fixed with screws.
In the tank, slightly below its middle, install the metal mesh .After this, it is put back into the case.
There are different holes in the machine cover, which need to be fixed. Inside the tank, air must penetrate only in minimal quantities.
After that, chips are placed in the tank for the smokehouse, food is put on the grate and the lid is closed on top.
Below, where the furnace hole is made, we build a fire. The cooking time depends on the product. After the first appearance of smoke, fish should be kept for about twenty minutes, and the meat will take more time - about forty minutes.
Making chips for hot smoking
To effectively smoke meat or fish by the method of hot smoking, you need quality chips or sawdust from the appropriate wood species. Now there is an opportunity to buy chips for a smokehouse, but sometimes it's more interesting to make it yourself. The taste of cooked smoked products depends on the specific wood composition.
• Choosing the right wood
To ensure that the wood chips and sawdust give the products a unique taste, we must pay special attention to the choice of wood. It is not necessary to use birch for these slots, because when it is heated it releases tar, and it gives a very specific taste. Coniferous species are used rarely and only by those people who have certain smoking skills. Beginners better do without coniferous components, which can give bitterness to the product. Do not advise to choose for smoking and aspen.
The universal wood species, which is actively used for smoking, is alder .You can use chips, sawdust and thin branches.
A good effect is given by oak and beech .But the trees of these rocks are not easy to find for harvesting chips.
For the smoking is well suited wood of garden trees. Used apple, pear and cherry chips.
If desired, you can experiment and mix wood components of different breeds and sizes. But at the very beginning it is worth learning a hot smoking with one-component chips.
• Chip your own hands
To make chips for smoking yourself, you will need a log from a suitable tree( alder, oak, apple tree and others).For grinding, prepare a convenient hatchet, a surface for cutting and a container with clean water.
If fruit trees are chosen as raw material, then it is not necessary to cut down the tree in the garden. It is enough to collect the branches left after the annual spring pruning.
Wood should be dried . Its humidity should be in the range of fifty to seventy percent. Also, you should pay attention to its quality very carefully. If there are signs of damage to the mold, other diseases or the tree has been treated with chemical preparations, then it should be discarded. All substances will be in the smoke, and then get into the food.
The plan for the manufacture of wood chips is as follows:
- The bark is first peeled off the tree. Then it is ground in such a way as to obtain pieces two by two centimeters in size.
- The resulting wooden cubes are placed in a container of clean water. In it they are aged for about four hours.
- After this, the pieces of wood are removed from the water and spread in a thin layer in a dry and ventilated room. When the chips dry up to the desired state, they are collected for use or storage.
After all these steps, the chips can be used for their intended purpose.
In addition to the relatively large chips used and sawdust. They are produced in a similar way. The difference is only in the size of the particles. For the preparation of sawdust, the wood should be ground to a much finer fraction. In the water, sawdust is aged not so long. They get wet faster and also dry up faster. But drying may require mixing.
