How to make a smoker in Minecraft

    Although smokers are not considered essential in a Minecraft survival world, they offer a significant advantage by allowing players to cook their food much faster than a regular furnace.

 

    Due to their low cost and early accessibility in the game, smokers are highly recommended for every player. Whether you're speedrunning or simply looking for another kitchen appliance for your base, smokers work efficiently, cutting the cooking time for a stack of meat in half compared to a regular furnace.

    To craft a smoker, you will need the following materials:

 

- 7 logs

- 8 cobblestone

1. Place 1 furnace in the center of the 3x3 crafting grid.

2. Surround the furnace with 4 wood logs or stripped logs, using any type of wood.

How to Use a Smoker

 

    To use a smoker, right-click on it, similar to entering the crafting table. This will open the smoker's GUI, which will appear as shown in the image below.

 

    In the top left-most space, place your raw food item. This will allow you to cook it once you add fuel.

 

    In the available space below your desired block or food item, place your chosen fuel, such as coal, charcoal, a bucket of lava, or any wooden item. This will provide the necessary fuel to cook your desired food item.

 

    Wait for the arrow in the center of the furnace menu to fill completely. This arrow indicates the progress of the cooking process for each block or food item. Once the bar is full, the item is ready to be removed from the smoker and used.

 

    Now that your food has been cooked or smelted completely, you can enjoy the benefits of smelting and make good use of the cooked items.

Conclusion

 

    Congratulations on successfully crafting a furnace! As your initial fuel, consider using your pickaxe to mine three additional pieces of cobblestone and create a stone pickaxe. You can then use the wooden pickaxe as your first fuel source for cooking your food.

 

    In conclusion, incorporating smokers into your Minecraft gameplay can greatly enhance your cooking experience.
