Baking in the Timber Smoke Hut

Baking in the Timber Smoke Hut

One of the oldest buildings in the Kukkola cultural village is the Timber Smoke Hut, dating back to the 1700s, which has been used for many generations when grilling whitefish. In addition to the traditional grilling, you can also bake bread on an open fire. While baking, you will hear about the food traditions and the culture of Torne Valley. After the baking you will enjoy the bread with delicious whitefish filling. Warm juice is also served from a kuksa – a traditional cup. 

Special equipment is not needed but the smell of smoke will attach to clothes and hair in the Timber Smoke Hut. The smoke smell goes away after washing your clothes and take a shower. We recommend you wear something that you can wash later.
