The diagram illustrates the structure of a home smokery and the process by which it operates.
Overall, the smokery consists of three main sections. Fresh air enters an underground chamber, where logs are burned to produce smoke. This smoke is then transported through a pipe into a box above ground level, where food is hung.
First of all, fresh air enters the first underground chamber through an opening covered by a lid. It then travels through an underground passage towards the second chamber, which contains burning logs. The heat produced by the fire generates smoke, which moves towards a pipe connected to the smoking box.
Finally, the smoke travels upwards through the pipe before entering the box. Inside this chamber, various food items are suspended from hooks and exposed to the smoke. The box is positioned above ground level and has a covered top.
