Hello To All

[saovicente]

My name is SaoVicente and from the New England area (MA) and a newbie to smoking. It is an area of cooking meat I have always admired (drooled over).

I have been passing though this site for many a month reading quite a few threads along the way and I have now decided to join in the fun.

I decided to jump in head first and have begun the process of building my own offset/vertical brick/concrete block smoker based on the writings of Wes W. and others. Bare in mind, I do not have any experience in masonry.

I have many questions and hopefully, everyone can give me a hand as I join in on this new great adventure.

Thanks,

S.

Welcome aboard mate! We are here to help. Have you thought of building a smoke house out of wood instead? If you don't have the skills for brick, wood is a wonderful alternative and can be done for under 100 dollars. All you need is to find some scrap pallets for material!

Thanks Gents....I look forward to joining in the fun and learning all about smoking.

I appreciative the advice.

I  had given wood a thought, but I was able to get my hands on free concrete blocks and chimney bricks plus a few fire bricks so all I had to do was get sand, cement, and lime.

I am near completion  of the box. Will share some pics tommorrow to get some advice before I top it off.

Hello and welcome from East Texas, there is a member who posted his build on what you are wanting and I believe another member just built one, Type Brick smoker in the search and see if it doesn't pull up some helpful information
