Materials Required to Make a Smoker in Minecraft
Making a smoker in Minecraft is easy, and unlike creating a lectern and an observer, you don’t need a lot of materials. Here’s what you need:
- One Furnace
- Four logs
Steps to Create a Smoker in Minecraft
Step 1: Open the Crafting Menu
Open the grid table in Minecraft, and you’ll see a grid table as shown below.
Step 2: Add the Wooden Logs and Furnace to the Grids
On the grid or workbench, you need to add wooden logs and a furnace in order to create a smoker. In the center grid of the table, place a “Furnace”, and place “Four wooden logs” in all grids surrounding the center grid (do exactly as shown in the image).
After placing the logs and furnace, you can easily create a smoker. Once crafted, the smoker will be available to move in the Minecraft inventory. You can access it with other items you own.
Step 3: Move the Smoker to the Inventory
Drag the smoker and move it to the inventory. You
can place it in any grid of the inventory to use it when you want to cook anything. Furthermore, a smoker can also be used as a butcher’s site block.
How to Use a Smoker in Minecraft?
Now that you have successfully created a smoker in Minecraft, it’d be great to understand how it works. I’ve been playing Minecraft for quite some time, and here’s how I have used a smoker.
- Place the smoker somewhere convenient so that you can access it easily.
- Obtain uncooked meat from an animal like a pig, cow, or sheep.
- Open the smoker interface, and place the uncooked meat in it.
- Place fuel in the smoker interface, and wait for the meat to get cooked (I prefer wood and coal).
- Once cooked, you can move the food to your inventory.
✍️ An Important Note: You can only place items in a smoker that result in something edible. Inedible things such as popped chorus fruit cannot be processed in a smoker.
Do Not Want to Make a Smoker? Find It Out with These Tips
If you do not have a furnace, or you do not want to craft a smoker, you can find it in Minecraft. Here is how you can find a ready-made smoker.
- Locate a village. You can also do it while playing Minecraft in multiplayer mode.
- Look through the village and find a butcher NPC.
- Mine the butcher’s smoker by using a pickaxe. And walk over to the broken smoker to pick it up.
- Place the smoker in your home base or wherever you want.
Note: Finding a smoker can be pretty challenging, especially in multiplayer mode. You should only look for one if you do not have a furnace or wooden logs to make a smoker.
