In Minecraft, players can turn raw food into cooked ones by burning it in a furnace. However, using a smoker, players can cook food items quicker. A smoker uses twice the amount of fuel to cook food items than a furnace.

Players can also use smokers to create automatic food smelters. These smelters work similarly to normal smelters, but instead of furnaces, they use smokers.

#2 - Light source
