But I purchased it from there and found a local hose and fitting shop and told them what I was doing they made the lines for me etc. Cost about 15 for the flame out and another 50 for them to make the set up. Ill try and...

I have used a wireless temp prop on the grates a few inch from the side where the control prop is. I see a few degrees difference no big deal but the control even says its higher. For example i...

    Help and advice on the build

    I used untreated tongue and groove for the outside of mine. But I lined it with 1/2" concrete boards and 1/8" non coated aluminum. I don't run over 225 but have had it up to 350 for a few mins with no issues. I feel I would probably be ok running higher but no reason to for me. I did a direct...

    Wood stove for smokehouse?

    I am not an expert by any means. I was going to do just this before I went with direct heat. I was very worried about loosing to much heat. When I was looking into doing it and may still, I was going to insulate the pipe.

    To much Smoke on a new build? -with pics

    I am working on that, I am trying to set up a thermostat and thermo coupler. but that is the plan. I put a temp prop there during a burn off and never got over 100 down there. But that is a concern I will have fixed when more stores are open

    To much Smoke on a new build? -with pics

    Thanks for the compliments, still has more work to finish up. I know you don't have to have blue smoke just thought it would make it easier to manage. I will try to use less wood and will try other types. Will fix the chimney this weekend to maybe a better draw will help
