Thanks Al. After my first test burn, and reading some of the posts in this forum, I cut a 4"x8" fresh air inlet down low on the back of the box. I put an adjustable floor register cover on it so I could damper it as needed. I did another test burn, and this time I borrowed an ET-732 from my...- charliedontsurf

Bug screen
I'm wondering what type of screen you guys use over your smoke house vents/openings to keep the nasties out. Is there a good wire mesh or something? Where's a good place to find it? I looked at Home Depot, but they didn't have much of anything.- charliedontsurf

I finished all the siding, and got the door mounted this past weekend, so she's finally all sealed up and ready to cook. I still have some trim work for final finishing, but it's operational now. I did a test burn late on Sunday just to watch smoke roll through her. I haven't gotten a...- charliedontsurf

I used cedar shims as "shake" shingles. Purely decorative, but I liked the look. There's an interstitial space between the cedar ceiling and the OSB roof deck. I used a 4" elbow that transitions to a 10"x4" register above the door for the vent. Will use a floor register cover with the...- charliedontsurf

I'll just carry on with this one... I used 2x4 rough cut cedar for the framing, and 1x6 t&g cedar siding for the floor/ceiling/walls/door. I built it up high enough so that I could elbow out of the stove, and up into the bottom of the smokehouse. I have a large stack of bricks left over from my...- charliedontsurf

If I "recover" the draft and post it, can an admin clear this thread? I don't want to be the "newbie" who posts the same thing multiple times! Lol- charliedontsurf

I poured a 2'x3' pad for the stove, and a 4'x4' pad for the house.- charliedontsurf

Smokehouse build
I used to do a lot of elk hunting in Colorado, and had a canvas wall tent with a little tent stove in it for heating. I've since moved to Texas, so no need for the tent/stove. I was trying to figure a good re-purpose for the stove when I stumble upon some smokehouse pics online that used...- charliedontsurf
