A smoker is a block that cooks food twice as quickly as a furnace, but cannot smelt anything else. It also serves as a butcher's job site block.

Obtaining

Breaking

A smoker can be mined and obtained using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it does not drop itself.

Smokers drop their contents when broken.

Usage

Smokers cannot be pushed by pistons.‌

Cooking

Smokers are used to cook food items twice as fast as a regular furnace, taking only 5 seconds per item instead of 10. It is the counterpart to the blast furnace, which is used to quickly smelt ores, metal tools and armor. When an uncooked food item and a fuel item are placed into the smoker, the block state changes to lit and the item cooks. Fuel is used at double the rate of regular furnaces, so the number of items cooked per fuel stays the same. The product can then be taken out of the output slot in the smoker's interface, or be collected using a hopper.

Smokers cannot cook chorus fruit, as popped chorus fruit is not edible.

Profession

If a smoker has not been claimed by a villager, any nearby unemployed villager has a chance to change their profession to butcher and claim the smoker as their job site block.

Light source

Smokers emit a light level of 13 when active, just like normal furnaces.

Custom name

By default, the interface of a smoker is labeled "Smoker", but this name can be customized by naming it in an anvil before placing it, or by changing the CustomName tag using the /data command‌.

Lock

In Java Edition, a smoker can be "locked" by setting its Lock tag using the /data command. If a smoker's Lock tag is not blank, the smoker cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item with the same name as the Lock tag's text. For example, to lock a smoker at (0,64,0) so that the smoker cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item named "Smoker Key", use /data merge block 0 64 0 {Lock:"Smoker Key"}.

Note blocks

Smoker can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Block data

A smoker has a block entity associated with it that holds additional data about the block.

Java Edition:

[NBT Compound / JSON Object] Block entity data
- Tags common to all block entities see Template:Nbt inherit/blockentity/template
- [Short] lit_time_remaining: Number of ticks left before the current fuel runs out.
- [Short] cooking_time_spent: Number of ticks the item has been smelting for. The item finishes smelting when this value reaches 200 (10 seconds). Is reset to 0 if lit_time_remaining reaches 0.
- [Short] cooking_total_time: Number of ticks it takes for the item to be smelted.
- [Short] lit_total_time: Represent the total time the furnace should be lit.
- Tags common to all objects that can be renamed see Template:Nbt inherit/nameable/template
- [NBT List / JSON Array] Items: List of items in this container.
  - [NBT Compound / JSON Object]: An item in the furnace, including the slot tag:
    Slot 0: The item(s) being smelted.
    Slot 1: The item(s) to use as the next fuel source.
    Slot 2: The item(s) in the result slot.
    - An item see Template:Nbt inherit/item/template
- Tags common to all containers that can be locked see Template:Nbt inherit/lockable/template
- [NBT Compound / JSON Object] RecipesUsed: Which recipes have been used since the last time a recipe result item was manually removed from the GUI. Used to calculate experience given to the player when taking out the resulting item. Is not preserved when removed.
  - [Int] recipe ID: How many times this specific recipe has been used. The recipe ID is the identifier of the smelting recipe, as a resource location, as used in the /recipe command.
