Done at last! The money pit smokehouse is finished!

Hi All:

Well, we had a few cost over-runs, but she's finally finished. I've included some pics as well as one of my trial smoking of chicken breasts wrapped in bacon. Thanks again for the input!

Gary

I welcome your comments and questions. It was a fun project, but I'm glad to be smoking finally. Doing tri-tip this weekend.......yummm.

Looks sweet! I like the racks.

As for cost overuns, I almost choked, I was laughing so hard. My estimated $200 smoker eventually cost me $600+. But they're well worth it when you get them up and runnning.

Looks like you did a great job, forget the cost and go enjoy it.

Looks great!
You going to start mass producing and selling them or was one enough?

babysmokologist · Aug 28, 2012

As for mass production Mossy, I might end up sleeping in my smokehouse if the wife finds out what I really spent on it. But it would be fun to build a few. It's kinda heavy though.

awsome looking smoker.

i just got a commercial freezer and cant figure out wether to shell out 250-300 for a compressor or turn it into a smoker.

Great looking smoker!

babysmokologist · Aug 29, 2012

Thanks, I guess you need to decide which you need the most. 2-300 dollars might not get the freezer conversion finished.

Great looking smoker Thumbs Up

bruno994 · Aug 29, 2012

Looks great. A smokehouse like that is on my list of to do's. What kind of temps were you able to get with your burner? Is that one of the burners from Northern Tool? Sorry for all the questions....

chef jimmyj · Aug 29, 2012

That is beautiful! While it may have cost more than planned, you built it! That alone makes it Priceless not to mention I would bet your's will out last a Half Dozen of the Crap Smokers built in China! Best of Luck...JJ
