In Minecraft, a Smoker is a block that can smelt food twice as fast as a furnace. If you enjoy building and customization, this could add some flair to your kitchen. Here's how to make a Smoker in Minecraft on all platforms.

Crafting a Smoker to Quickly Smelt Food

To make a Smoker in Minecraft, place a Furnace at the center of a crafting grid. Place one of any Log, Stem, or Wood at the top, left, right, and bottom of the Furnace.

    Unlike the Furnace, Smokers can only be used to smelt Food. This allows you to smelt twice as fast.
    • To smelt food, place a food item and a fuel item into the Smoker.

    If there's an unclaimed Smoker in a village , it can be used to change a villager's profession to butcher.

    Like other Furnaces, Smokers emit light, which can help keep mobs at bay.

    If you're using Java Edition, you can lock the Smoker using the /data command.
