Hello from another third gen Texan raised next door in Garland.  This is probably a personal decision but there's an old wive's tale that goes something like this: there are two catagories of smoke houses 1) one that burnt down and 2) one that will burn down.  Having said that I recommend indirect fire with metal ducting to keep you out of category 2.

Bama BBQ - Thank for the advise. I had been think the indirect would be best. Interesting, I was just in Huntsville on business, small world.

Hmm, there is a great thread here and if I wasn't on my phone, and could find it,easily I'd post it. It's what you need but bigger! The search feature here works fantastic. Type in cedar smoke house, it should pop up.
