How to make a Smoker in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a smoker with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, the smoker is another important item in your inventory. A smoker is used to cook food items in the game, similar to a furnace. However, a smoker cooks food twice as fast as a furnace!
Let's explore how to make a smoker.

Required Materials to make a Smoker

1 Furnace
First, you will need 1 Furnace:
4 Wood or 4 Logs
Next, you will need 4 wood or 4 logs. You can choose from any of these:
How to craft a Smoker in Survival Mode
1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Smoker
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a smoker, place 1 furnace and 4 wood, logs or stripped logs in the 3x3 crafting grid.
When crafting with wood, you can use any kind of wood, such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, crimson or warped. In our example, we are using oak wood.
When making a smoker, it is important that the furnace and wood blocks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 oak wood in the middle box. In the second row, there should be 1 oak wood in the first box, 1 furnace in the second box, and 1 oak wood in the third box. In the third row, there should be 1 oak wood in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a smoker.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the smoker will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Smoker to Inventory
Once you have crafted a smoker, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made a smoker in Minecraft!
