The present invention relates to a method for generating smoke from a liquid smoke condensate for preparing of food inside a smoke housing (4), said smoke being generated in a first smoke generation housing (2) having a channel (3) to said smoke housing (4). The method comprises the steps of : introducing pressurized liquid smoke and air through a first nozzle (13) into said first smoke generation housing (2) for generating smoke; introducing ambient air into said first smoke generation housing (2) through a first inlet (21) that is positioned at a lateral distance to a main flow direction of said first nozzle (13); heating of flowing medium inside said smoke generation housing (2); introducing the generated smoke into said smoke housing (4). An arrangement for generating smoke from a liquid smoke condensate is also disclosed.
