Smoker

Smokers are blocks used to smelt food items.

Natural generation
Smokers can generate in butcher houses in villages.

Smoking
Smokers are used to cook food items twice as fast as a regular furnace. When a food item and a fuel is placed into the smoker the block state will change to lit and the item will smelt. The product can then be collected. Fuel is used at double the rate of furnaces, so that the amount of items cooked per fuel stays the same.

Light source
Smokers emit a light level of 13 when active, similar to normal furnaces.

If a village has a smoker and there is no butcher villager in the village, any villager who didn't already pick workstation has a chance to change their profession into a butcher.‌

Block entity
A smoker has a block entity associated with it that holds additional data about the block.
