Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of the production of smoke for food processing usage and has for its object a process characterized in that it comprises essentially the steps consisting in introducing the organic material to be pyrolyzed into a reactor comprising essentially a heatable chamber that is substantially sealed, containing at least one ascending tubular element that is vibrated and receiving said material, at the level of the lower portion of said tubular element, heating said organic material to a temperature comprised between 200° C. and 800° C., preferably between 300° C. and 400° C., so as to cause pyrolysis during its movement, under the influence of vibrations, in the ascending tubular element or elements, and extracting the consumed material and the produced smoke at the level of the upper portion of said tubular element or elements.
