Instruction
1. Mark the place for future smoking shed, it should not be far from the house, but at the same time consider that constant smoke can disturb members of your family.
2. To make the smoking shed, find metal barrel and cut at it bottom by means of scissors on metal. Dig hole on the place where the smoking shed will be located, diameter of hole has to coincide with diameter of barrel, and depth – about 400 mm.
3. From hole dig out trench about 1.5-2 meters long. At the end of trench arrange the center: dig out hole of 600-800 mm in depth, impose it with bricks (having left exit for smoke towards barrel).
4. Install barrel on bricks so that through trench smoke could get to it, cover other slots with earth. In upper part of barrel arrange grid for products. For this purpose fix several rods across and lay on them ready grid, or suspend products directly to rods.
5. Prepare iron or asbestos cement sheets to close the center and flue after fire steadily burns. From above close barrel burlap or other dense fabric that smoke left not at once.
6. When the smoking shed is ready, carry out control test. Heat it to remove foreign smells from barrel (if they were) and to check tightness of design. Pay attention, all smoke has to go through pipe to barrel, otherwise you should spend much more time and firewood on smoking of products in house conditions.
7. It is possible to do also without separately put center. You make fire directly at the bottom of barrel, it is the best of all from sawdust that there was no opened strong fire. Consider that in such smoking shed it is difficult to cook big gammons or large bird, but small fish can quite be smoked. In order that to such smoking shed it was convenient to enclose firewood, make in the bottom of barrel small door on hinges, just cut square and fasten it self-tapping screws to one of the cut edges.
