Best Way to Get Smoker

The most reliable way to get Smoker is to craft it at a Crafting Table from Any Log and Furnace, because crafting is repeatable and does not depend on luck. Before you can craft it, gather the ingredients: Furnace (craft from eight cobblestone). Serves as the job site block for Butcher villagers. It stacks to 64, so a single mining or crafting session can comfortably bank a chest's worth for later projects. Worth noting on the version side: Added in 1.14 (Village & Pillage). As a utility block, Smoker is the sort of thing you place once and use constantly, so most players craft an early one and add more as their base grows.
