A simple camp smokehouse made from a saucepan

Personally, I made a miniature smokehouse for cooking fish while fishing. Of course, the slave can be cooked over a fire, but you can make it into a real delicacy only with the help of this simple design.

Naturally, you can smoke not only fish in it, but also meat, sausages, etc. The smokehouse has a very modest size and will not cause you any significant inconvenience when carrying it.

It is done even simpler than it might seem at first glance.

We will need

• A saucepan, preferably stainless steel. Enameled, due to high temperatures and direct exposure to fire, is most likely not suitable. You can try using aluminum.
• Grill-stand for hot food.

All this is sold in any kitchenware store. I think even in small settlements this will not be a problem. But if you suddenly don’t find a lattice, you can cut it from a construction mesh. Or even make it yourself from thick wire.

Two options for making a smokehouse

It all depends on the grid. If its legs are small, they can be bent, tearing them away from the circle, see photo.

And just put it on the bottom of the pan. And that’s it - your smokehouse is ready.

Option number two.If this is not possible, then you need to check the pan in three places according to the shape of the triangle, and screw in the screws on which the grill will rest.

Of course, with bending the option is simpler, but everything is individual.

How to use?

Everything is very simple: moisten the wood chips or sawdust with water and squeeze it out. Place it on the bottom of the pan. Place a grill on top, and fish soaked in spices on the grill (salt and pepper will be enough). Close the lid and place it all on an alcohol, gas burner or on the coals of a fire.

Smoking usually takes 10-30 minutes. And the fragrant, smoked fish is ready.

When camping or fishing, this is simply a delicacy. Because food in the fresh air acquires a truly magical taste. Therefore, spending 10-15 minutes on building a camp smokehouse is worth it.
