Hi everybody I thought I would Share my new smokehouse build with you. I've been working on it for a few weeks now and have the cold smoking Part done.
The fresh concrete the dog stepped in
Air operated smoke generation pit
Trial run
Rough cut lumber from local mill
Walls framed
Starting to close it up
Getting there
Completed shell
Time for a door
Time to clean up mess
First smoke
Temporary stainless hangers and racks
Had good luck cold smoking bacon and cheese so far , tried sausages but could not get temp past 145 had to finish inside the house.
Now comes the Hot Smoking, This weekend I will be starting to insulate with rock wool and covering it with Durock cement board and the installation of 12 x 12 ceramic floor tiles to cover the inside. For heat I'm using an antique Boston Stove Co Parlor stove with circulation fans for even heat and I'm hoping for a temp of 300.
I will keep you posted and I look forward to posting the rest of the build
