Abstract

The design and construction of low cost electric fish smoking kiln was undertaken with the aim of improving the existing fish-smoking kiln. The newly constructed kiln was made using locally available composite materials and technologies sourced locally. The kiln consists of smoking kiln chamber, heating elements, a variable thermostat, lagging materials of insulating clay wall which has a duration of not less than five years and metal frame made of angle iron on which the fish tray, oil collector pan were assembled. The production cost of the electric fish-smoking kiln is one hundred thousand naira compare with mechanical ones that cost within the range of three hundred thousand and four hundred thousand naira excluding transportation charges.

Fish thermostat heating element oil collection pan circuit breaker.
