To taste smoked meat or fish, you do not need to go to the store: products can be cooked independently. Equipment for this can also be made with your own hands. On how to make a smokehouse from a gas cylinder will go further.

Skolna from the gas cylinder with their own hands - the choice of the way of smoking

There are two ways of smoking - cold and hot. The difference between them is as follows.

1. Hot smoking allows you to prepare products for several hours, due to the high temperature of smoke. Thermal processing is destroyed by bacteria dangerous to the body. However, the shelf life of the products prepared in this way does not exceed 20 days.
2. Cold smoking: for the preparation of the product takes up to 3 days, while the process should not be interrupted. The design of the smokehouse should provide for the installation of the fuel at a distance of at least 3 m from the smokehouse with products. Smoke passes through a pipe called a smoke generator. The temperature is lower than it is required for hot smoked.

Gas cylinder smoke cylinder - preparation of the balloon

Balloon for household gas can be used for the manufacture of mangal. Long service life is guaranteed due to the thickness of its walls - 3 mm. To make a mangal of a gas cylinder smoke, you need to do the following.

1. The selected cylinder with a capacity of 50 liters (type AG-50) is examined: it should not be affected by penetrating corrosion.
2. The valve must unscrew the gas key. Before that, you need to keep all the gas, turning the bottom of the bottom up. Checking the presence of gas is performed using a wet washcloth and soap: the presence of bubbles near the valve on the foam surface indicates that there is still gas under pressure in the cylinder.
3. For further safe work with a cylinder, it is necessary to rinse it twice with water, fully filling out the container. So that the water is fastened faster, it is necessary to cut off the neck with a metal with a metal. The canvas must be periodically cooling with water to avoid fire and explosion of gas residues.
4. Marking on the cylinder body for cutting the lid is applied with a chalk or marker. The lid itself will be made of carved part.
5. The cutting of the metal after careful washing of the tank is performed by a grinder. At the same time, the side rings of the balloon must remain integer.
6. Sharp edges after cutting metal should be cleaned.
7. In order for the cover to be closed and open, the hinge is installed. On the opposite side, a shelf from angle of 10-15 mm wide is welded to stop the cover. Skolna from the gas cylinder will be more convenient to use if the handle is attached to the lid.
8. From pipes or corners produced legs that are welded to the bottom of the cylinder. It is important that the design is balanced and stable, for which the legs must be spread wide. The recommended table height is 90 cm, which you need to consider in the manufacture of legs.
9. Skolna from the gas cylinder (see photo below) should be equipped with a small table for cooking meat.

Smoking with a table in use will be more convenient

Important: The washing of the balloon should be performed away from home so that the smell of methane was not felt in the residential premises. All work is carried out far away from open fire.

How to make a manga with your own hands

At this stage, the gas cylinder was converted into a brazier with a lid. To make your own hands smoking gas cylinders, you need to make and attach additional elements of the design - a cold smoking chamber, a fuel cell (coal compartment) and chimney. To work it was easier, the drawing of a gas cylinder crystal or sketch is prepared.

Further work is performed in stages.

1. We prepare additional two cylinders in the specified way (we exempt them from gas and condensate).
2. To connect a cylinder mangal with a cylinder designed for smokehouse, cut the plots in such a way that the latter is located vertically.
3. Chimney welded to the top of the smokehouse, pre-cut the hole of the desired diameter. As a result, the so-called smokehouse ferrifier from the gas cylinder is obtained.
4. Flakes made from a gas cylinder with a volume of 25 liters. It is located below the manga zone to the hot smoke, rising upwards, arrived in the smoking tank.
5. Cut out oval holes in the necks of both connected cylinders and connect them with welding.
6. Colonel should be installed between smoking and firebox so that the open fire is not a hindrance in the process of cooking meat or fish. In the staff - to provide hooks for hanging products.

Carved cylinder parts for connecting with smokehouse

ATTENTION: The method of preparation of products depends on the distance between the furnace and the smoking area. The design described above is designed for hot smoked. For cold smoking, a removable pipe device is needed to which the smokehouse is mounted on one side, and on the other hand, a grill with a firebox.

To adjust the flame, in the casing of the manga should be sliding thoughtfully

Gas cylinder smoking tips

In order for the smokehouse to serve for a long time, and the products cooked with her help were good for taste, the following rules must be followed.

1. After the smokehouse is fully ready, it must be covered with heat-resistant paint. This will give the product an attractive appearance and protects against corrosion.
2. Sociable accumulating on the walls of the smokehouse does not need to remove metal brushes. Thus, you can damage the paint on its surface.
3. The first time smoke from the gas cylinder must be protected without cooking products, pre-wash it. This will help get rid of the remains of gas condensate and unwanted smells.
4. The thick layer of the soot should be removed by a plastic or wooden scraper.
5. For smoking, it is recommended to use wood fruit trees. Firewood and sawdust of coniferous trees, out of nut and maple are not suitable: they give bitterness of fish and meat. In order for the products to not absorb foreign smells, they are wrapped with a layer of gauze before placeing in the smokehouse.
6. In the smoke, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of collecting flowing fat: for this, in its lower part there must be a baking sheet with a foil. As fat arrives, Foil should be changed.

In order to be convenient to use the brazier, the skenets are made for skewers.
