I wasn't even a member of this forum but I just couldn't pass this one up! Someone posted a photo of this on Facebook and I followed the trail to here and I am so glad I did.
What an absolutely beautiful thing! Your planning and craftsmanship is impeccable and that would make a great addition to anyone's yard! When are you going to come over and start mine, LOL! Nice job man, really nice
And for all you Brain trusts that just kept going on and on about not using treated lumber, Get with the programs guys!!
Not only does the title Read "CEDAR SMOKEHOUSE CONSTRUCTION" on top of that Lumber treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) has not been used since 2004! First the wooden play structure industry agreed to stop using it in 2002. Then the EPA ruled it must be "eliminated in all wood products by January 1, 2004" so Arsenic wood has not been used for almost 10 years now.
And for the guy with the Cypress wood suggestion, sure it is great in water, about that you are right. Unfortunately it should not be used in locations where it gets hot because it can be an irritant. The oils that protect it so well in water are released when heated can adversely affect people with asthma, cause swelling of eyelids, boils, rashes and headaches.
