Thanks for all the help! I like all the recommendations. I am hoping to get back to cutting boards this weekend. I think everything is starting to slow down now. I believe the law is the same here. I'm not really concerned about it. Its kind of back in the woods anyway.- speedsk899

Starting the Smoke House
My plan is to use two layers of cinder block mortored together. Drive T-Poles down and fill the respective holes with concrete. Bolts sticking up to bolt the framing to. I dont want it going anywhere! The floor will be gravel so I am assuming this is not a full foundation? The White oak logs I...- speedsk899

Starting the Smoke House
Great info! I didn't think about the wood that would be sitting against the cinder blocks. I have access to white oak, walnut, hickory, cherry........ (I save the last two for smoking) so cutting a couple pieces of white oak is not a problem. Would it cause any problems if I didnt let the wood...- speedsk899

Starting the Smoke House
Just thought of another question. I was researching to make sure I understood the board and batten construction and noticed one thing. All of the examples I saw were using finished wood. I will be using rough cut lumber straight from the mill. Since it is rough cut will the boards still be able...- speedsk899

Starting the Smoke House
That is good info to have. I am going to guess that the building can shift due to the lack of support provided by the siding? Do you think it will still be a problem with a structure as small as I'm building? or does size not matter?- speedsk899

I apologize I didn't explain the state of the tree I was cutting but that is good news! I had not thought about what if I needed to change a board out.......going board and batten is looking more like the way to go even if it takes more wood. I do plan on using screws. Thanks for the help!- speedsk899

Starting the Smoke House
When you say "green" do you mean that the tree was recently still living? or just that it was just recently milled? The reason I ask is this tree has been down for over two years. The root ball and everything went over. Over a year ago I cut the base of the tree from the root ball and it has...- speedsk899

Starting the Smoke House
I have considered board and batten for the siding but that would almost double the amount of wood I need to cut. I am planning on using a shiplap joint (I've added a picture below) for all of the siding. My reason is this is all rough cut lumber that will not be going through a kiln. I assume...- speedsk899

Starting the Smoke House
Like I said in my introduction I am going to build a smoke house and I have started getting materials together. Its going to take a little while as I am milling all the wood. Here is what I said in my introduction "I am an amateur smoker who uses a smoker grill many times a year to smoke up...- speedsk899
