Smoke hook, 13 cm, hand-forged

Product description

This smoke hook is a replica of a Roman original, found in the Rhine area and now part of the collection of the Landesmuseum in Bonn. Similar hooks have been found in London and Velzen, among others, and were used from the classical period until the 18th century.

The hook is hand forged iron and has an eye at the top for easy attachment to a rope or cooking equipment to confirm. At the bottom it ends in three sharp, curved points — ideal for smoking or drying bacon, salmon and other foods over the fire. Can also be used as a historical throwing anchor.
