Got To..

...give away my home-built smokehouse! I have bought a CampChef pellet smoker, and it is arriving tomorrow. So, anyone in the DFW area who wants it, I am giving it away, including the propane burner, wooden rods, but no ham hooks or bacon hangers (those were asked for by my two sons). But, you can order them from Butcher-Packer as I did.
My build in 2010:

Found a burner for smokehouse

I'm planning on building my own wooden smokehouse week after next, provided my vacation coverage allows me to go on vacation 2/13-19. I'm winging it on the design, modeling it after the smokehouses my dad used in his store (Koch) in a scaled down version. But, the one thing I've struggled with...

if you want it, leave me a message on here and plan on bringing 4 or 5 strong guys with you and a full size pickup truck, to haul it away (weight is about 500 lbs). Tip it on it's side and drag it out of the back yard though a fence gate. I cannot help with it, as I am totally disabled in a walker.

These were before I added te mailbox mod.

I simply cannot bend down enough to feed the wood chunks into the burner pan as I lose my balance too easily from my brain stem stroke.

Damn Pops, giving it away, I wish you lived near me I would grab that in a heart beat, what a beauty!

Good for you! Hope it finds a good home!

That's awesome of you! Wish I was closer, it would save me some time from having to build my own.

Looks like a fantastic smoker pop's, hope someone can utilize it as you did.

It's all broken in, too. Sure wish I was closer, too.

Good on ya Pop's. Best luck and enjoy the Camp Chef.

If only you were closer heck I'd about drive there to get it except trying to get it loaded would be a problem

A friend of ours has asked for it. He used to live in Fort Worth and worked for our oldest son, then went on to become a OTR long-haul truck driver, and is now retired, living in a motor home, single, in his son's motor home park and has a smoker but wanted to upgrade to a smokehouse! This saves him from having tio build one, and has several big trucker friends to help him get it off our back porch! A win-win situation! Plus, has been using my Pop's Curing Brine to smoke things!

Greg Lee came and took away my smokehouse today! This is a photo of it loaded on a trailer they brought to haul it away!

Greg, his two sons and his granddaughter! They had to remove the gate door going to the back yard to get it out, but they reassembled it before they left with it in tow! A great job well done!

From a 1940's Koch catalog from where dad ordered 2 of them for his business!

And, this is now the view on the back porch with only the Camp Chef Pellet Smoker!
