    How does this smoker work?

    Yes. And that's probably why they ended putting the stack in between the firebox and the smoker instead. What I find interesting with this nice design is that it should be possible to do either hot and cold smoking after finding the right controls. Maybe with these three "main" setups: a)...

    How does this smoker work?

    Hi Dave, Oops, not sure I understood what you meant, here. Is your thought related to the picture design or the solution I proposed? corbion

    How does this smoker work?

    Still doing some drawings before beginning, just to be sure where I'm heading... and I have a question: would it work if I'd place the stack on the top rear of the firebox instead on between the firebox and the smoker like in the picture above? regards, corbion

    That makes sense... I think I'm more or less ready to begin the build now...  Corbion

    How does this smoker work?

    Little by little, I begin to understand what this is all about. Thanks for such clear explanations again, Dave. I think I get it for the heat control for cold smoking with that smoke house.  Two points I still have to make clear though...  1) Apart that you won't be able to smoke a pork butt...

    How does this smoker work?

    Hi again, Dave, I get it and will follow that way: no stack in the smoker but floor vents with closure flaps.  Coming back to the burner and the control stack: I still don't understand something. How can you adjust the heat with that stack on the pipe close to the burner? Is there some valve...

    How does this smoker work?

    ... and thanks for the explanations. I'd like to add a couple of newbie questions about this. Instead of the control stack that we can see on this picture, is there a way to install a valve in this kind of build? And if so, is it possible to do it on the horizontal part of the pipe?  In the...

    How does this smoker work?

    Hi everybody, Still planning my build and looking for ideas and inspiration here and there, I found this picture. Not a lot of comment came with it because it's from a company selling smoked products, not smoke houses.  I don't understand how this smoke house work. Especially, the extraction...

    Cedar smokehouse construction

    Hi, I have another question about this build: is there some kind of design rules to choose the correct diameter for the smoke pipe and to set the distance between the burner and the smoker itself? best regards, Corbion

    Winds, positionning of the smoker and neighbourhood

    Hi, Thanks for your quick answer! And nice to learn that smoke shouldn't be a bothering problem. I really had no clue about that. Hoping to start the build in a few week,... Corbion

    Winds, positionning of the smoker and neighbourhood

    Hi, I plan to build a smoker house inspired by this project  and got a few questions about the right place to install it. The winds blow usually in the direction of the back of my house and... those of my neighbours. If I build the smoke house in the backyard, what is a reasonable distance I...

    Cedar smokehouse construction

    Hi Nick, First of all I want to join the choir to thank you for sharing this inspiring project. I have a question about cold smoking. Up in the thread, you mentionned the possibility to use your build for cold smoke as well, provided you add some modification. Could you please elaborate on...
