How to get the Fish Smoker in Stardew Valley 

The Fish Smoker recipe can be bought from Willy in Stardew Valley for 10,000 gold or for free if you start on the Riverland Farm. 

Once you have the recipe, you can craft the Fish Smoker for 1 Cave Jelly, 1 Sea Jelly, 1 River Jelly, and 10 Hardwood. Jellies can be fished out of their respective areas like the Mining levels with ponds, the Ocean, and the River running through Pelican Town. 

Hardwood may take a little bit of time to get because you need at least a Copper axe to break down the smaller Hardwood stumps on your farm. A Steel axe will let you break the log to the Secret Woods, where you can get Hardwood every day by breaking the stumps inside. 

How to use the Fish Smoker in Stardew Valley

You need one coal and one fish to use the Fish Smoker in Stardew Valley. Then, after 50 in-game minutes, you will get a smoked fish. 

The quality of your fish will stay the same if you use it in the smoker, which means that if you put an Iridium quality fish in the smoker, you will get Iridium quality smoked fish. 

The great thing about the Fish Smoker is that the fish you sell benefits from the Artisan, Fisher, and Angler professions because it counts both as fish and artisan goods. As a result, you can quickly build up a very lucrative fish farm.
