How to Craft Smoker in Minecraft

Smoker in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Cooking food twice as fast as a furnace. The recipe first appears in the game's files in Minecraft 1.14.

With a Crafting Table placed, 4 Logs and 1 Furnace are what a Smoker needs. From the top down: a Log in the middle column; then two Logs in the outer columns and a Furnace in the middle column; then a Log in the middle column. A single craft gives you 1 Smoker.

Smoker Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Smoker is minecraft:smoker. In commands the namespace may be left off, so smoker works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p smoker
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p smoker 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve smoker 1

Cheats have to be on for Smoker to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview

The Smoker cooks food at double speed but can only process food items, not ores. Smoker uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown. A Smoker cooks food at twice the speed of a normal furnace, but only accepts food items. Pairing one with a Blast Furnace lets you split cooking and smelting onto dedicated machines.

This recipe first appears in the game's own data files in Minecraft 1.14, and not in the release before it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with log (chop trees) and furnace (craft from cobblestone).

The Yield Per Stack

64 logs is 16 crafts here, or 16 smokers once the grid stops. Have 16 furnaces ready as well. Craft 16 takes the last logs, with nothing spare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to craft a Smoker in Minecraft?
a Smoker asks for 4 Logs and 1 Furnace, and the work happens at a Crafting Table. The pattern above is exact, so match it square by square, and one craft produces one Smoker.
What do you need to make a Smoker from scratch?
Starting with nothing, a Smoker costs 4 Logs and 8 Cobblestones. Everything else in the recipe is something you craft on the way there, over 2 crafts in total.
Can you craft a Smoker without a crafting table?
Not this one: a Smoker will not fit the inventory grid. It is laid out as four Logs and a single Furnace in the centre cell, and that takes 3 rows, more than the 2x2 grid in your inventory can hold.
Where do you find the materials for a Smoker?
The materials for a Smoker each come from somewhere different. Log: chop trees. Furnace: craft from cobblestone.
How many Smokers do you get from one craft?
The Smoker recipe makes one Smoker per craft.
What is the item ID for Smoker in Minecraft?
In Java 26.2 the Smoker goes by minecraft:smoker; smoker without the namespace does the same job in a command.
What is the give command for Smoker?
The command for Smoker is /give @p smoker. Add a number for more than one, so /give @p smoker 64 hands you a full stack, and it only runs with cheats enabled.
Is the Smoker recipe the same in Java and Bedrock Edition?
Yes, the Smoker recipe is the same in both editions. Java and Bedrock both build a Smoker from 4 Logs and 1 Furnace at a Crafting Table, in the same layout, one at a time.
Which material does a Smoker need the most of?
A Smoker needs more Log than anything else: 4 Logs out of 5 items in total. Gather that first and the rest of the recipe follows easily.
What version of Minecraft added the Smoker?
The smoker first appears in Minecraft 1.14: that release ships the recipe file and the one before it does not, out of every Java version Mojang still publishes. Nothing about it has changed since: the pattern above is today's.
