he diagram illustrates the structure of a home smokery and explains how it operates.
Overall, the smoking process involves three main stages, beginning with fresh air entering an underground chamber and ending with food being smoked inside the smoking compartment.
The system consists of three underground chambers connected by pipes, each fitted with a removable lid. Initially, fresh air enters the first chamber through an open lid before passing into the second chamber, where burning wooden logs produce smoke. The smoke is then channelled into the final chamber beneath the smoking box. Inside the smoking compartment, fish are suspended from hooks while smoke circulates around them before escaping through the top. As a result, the food is smoked and can be preserved for a longer period.
