;- economy version of complex and expensive equipment for smoking a product. To make such a construction, you will need both a Bulgarian and a welding machine. In this case, the master should be creative. The result of hard work will be a structure that will be used as a barbecue, barbecue, grill or smokehouse. 
Conventional cylinders are best suited for creating such a masterpiece. Durable metal allows you to heat the product to the maximum temperature, and the ergonomic form - to use for the preparation of various dishes. A few workshops on how to make a smokehouse from a gas cylinder will help make the dream a reality. 
First of all, it is important to clean the tank of residual gas. When it comes out naturally, the tank is filled with water and left for 24 hours. After the expiration date, the liquid is poured out and the valve is lubricated with soap suds to check for leaks.
Original solo: smokehouse and
brazier The equipment will consist of 2 parts: a smoke generator and a brazier. Therefore, you need to prepare two tanks of 50 and 20 liters. Then the master will make a drawing or sketch, on which he will mark the location of the holes for air and doors. In the next step, prepare the tools and materials:
- drill;
- brush on metal;
- Bulgarian;
- welding machine;
- building area or profile;
- handles;
- 4-6 pcs.door hinges;
- chimney pipe( 1.5 meters in length and 10-12 cm in diameter);
- lattice of rods.
Essential tools and materials on alert. Now you can start creating a smokehouse from a gas cylinder with your own hands. It is worth noting that the instruction refers to the installation for the hot method of smoking. So, the whole process is divided into several main stages.

Cutting metal
The smoke generator and the brazier itself are flasks with lids, so you first have to cut the neck. Then make the first balloon with a length of 50 cm, and leave the second in its original form. After that, in each of them cut out:
- window for blowing( 10x10 cm at the bottom and closer to the edge);
- cover around the perimeter of the tank.
In the main container to make special devices for skewers. On each side( opposite each other) form:
- holes( 12 pieces 1 cm in diameter);
- cuts( depth - 2 cm).
A wheelworm is made from the construction corner, drilling holes throughout the entire area at a distance of 5 cm. Then it is welded to the central zone of the installation.
The smokehouse from the cylinder should be connected to the chimney and firebox. To do this, a valve for the chimney is cut in the upper part of the section, and a smoke generator in the other lower corner. 
Welding
Now you should correctly fold the cut parts. Here we need a welding machine with electrodes 2-3 mm. The components are connected in the following sequence:
- hinges for the covers;
- handles;
- corners( on the center of a flask, and also on each side for a lattice);
- feet;
- exhaust pipe.
It is important to note that cross beams are welded to the supports for equipment stability. After that, the main part of the mangal smokehouse is joined from the gas cylinder with the firebox itself. In this case, the flaps are made of a fixed type in order to regulate the combustion, the circulation of smoke and the intensity of decay. 
By the same principle, a plate is attached to the top of the chimney so that it can be opened and closed. 
The process of cutting and welding requires extreme precision. Joints should be smooth and without gaps. To make the container as airtight as possible, plates of aluminum with a gap of 2-3 cm are attached around the perimeter of the cut-out windows. They are fixed with rivets.
Unusual make-up
After such dusty work, the design is presented in a presentable look. Such an unusual “make-up” of a metal structure is done in several stages:
- aligns the seams with a grinder;
- brush the entire surface with a brush on metal and then with emery paper;
- process capacity degreasing agent;
- cover with heat-resistant dye.

The photo shows a smokehouse from a gas cylinder with your own hands, made according to the instructions above. Some items can be done differently. 
Instead of a damper, many people prefer to cut strips( up to 5 mm wide) on the bottom of the product.
The furnace is often made from ordinary sheet metal. It is made square or rectangular. The size is 1/3 of the brazier itself.
Installation for cold smoking by your own person
To build such a smokehouse from a gas cylinder with your own hands, you need drawings. The diagram below shows the principle of connecting the three main sections. Since the instructions for mounting the brazier / barbukushnits are given above, in this part you should pay attention only to the design of the vertical chamber. In it, the temperature of the heating will not exceed 50-70 ° C.
Make it this way:
- cut the door( it takes 2/3 of the surface);
- across the tank fix rods in several floors or 3-5 partitions from the lattice;
- in the main and additional( half of the tank is cut off) compartments are formed by valves for the joining of two chambers, after which they are welded;
- at the top of the smokehouse from a gas cylinder welded pipe with a valve so that the operator can regulate the flow of smoke.
When connecting parts, it is worth using a level that will help to achieve the maximum vertical position of the cameras. It is important not to forget to weld the knobs and hinges on the door. Such a plan equipment comes with thermometers, which are installed on each half.
Hinges are attached in 2 ways: by bolts or by welding. The first option is much more practical, because it allows you to easily replace parts in case of breakage. Yet the second method is safer.
Support - an important element of the
Any self-made smokehouse from a cylinder, needs stable and durable legs. However, it must be mobile, able to move. Therefore, the legs are made of:
- square-shaped pipes;
- fittings;
- tightly woven rods;
- wheels.

Connect the parts with bolts / nuts or welding. In the first case, the design will be removable, and in the second - stationary. The installation height is calculated so that the vertical compartment is at a level of 1 m from the ground. Between the legs, some masters advise to attach the shelf in the form of a lattice. It can store kitchen utensils and firewood.
For mobile models of smokehouse from the gas cylinder is better to make the wheels. They are disconnected either from a construction car or from a bicycle. They are mounted on the side of the cold-smoked chamber.
Supports can be constructed from the legs of an old sewing machine made in the USSR.The material is so durable and heat resistant that it is better not to find.
Note to the cook
Smoking is a laborious and very delicate process. The taste of products depends not only on the design features of the equipment, but also on the fuel materials used. It is standardly advised to choose wood of fruit trees:
- cherries( only without bark);
- apple trees;
- pears;
- apricots;
- plum.
At the same time, chips made of walnut, oak or elm will give the meat / fruit extraordinary tart taste. The fish is recommended to be treated with smoke obtained after the burning of willow, talniki and even rakita.
Before you start building your own smokehouse of gas cylinders with your own hands, you should watch the video of the master classes. They draw attention to the nuances that arise when performing ultra-precise metal segments. In this case, the employee can answer many other questions.
