#afumatoare

• Smoke — The first-person singular form of the verb 'a afuma' (to smoke); the act of exposing an object, food item, or surface to the smoke resulting from the incomplete combustion of wood or other vegetal substances. This process is used for food preservation and flavoring, sterilization, technical treatment, or optical darkening of glass.
• Smokehouse — A household annex, specially designed room, or technical construction of variable dimensions in which smoke is produced in a controlled manner for preserving and flavoring food products (meat, fish, cheeses). It functions through the smoldering combustion of sawdust or hardwood, ensuring a homogeneous distribution of the smoke's antiseptic agents.
