2. Add Items to make a Smoker

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a smoker, place 1 furnace and 4 wood, logs or stripped logs in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When crafting with wood, you can use any kind of wood, such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, crimson or warped. In our example, we are using oak wood.

When making a smoker, it is important that the furnace and wood blocks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 oak wood in the middle box. In the second row, there should be 1 oak wood in the first box, 1 furnace in the second box, and 1 oak wood in the third box. In the third row, there should be 1 oak wood in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a smoker.
