I like this idea. I think I am going to roll with it as I already have some expanded metal right above the smoke pipe.

No insulation, just the cedar. It holds temperature pretty well but like I said its hot here, cold here, warm here.

My mistake 45 cubic feet.

Just added more details.

So my smokehouse has a heat distribution problem. I have an approx 45 cubic ft cedar smokehouse with an external firebox for wood with about 2ft of piping into the bottom of the house about 18 inches from the floor. Smoke flows nicely around the inside and gets into every corner but the heat is...

Here is the inside.

I was thinking that too.. you think a T and add 2 dampers or just one going into the smokehouse?

So I built a 3 x 3 x 5 cedar smokehouse with an external smokebox (think old wood stove)...what should I do to divert smoke in order to check on whatever is in the smokehouse so I don't die of asphyxiation every time I stick my head in?

Thats the info I was looking for. Thanks!

No worries, just looking for some advice before the build rather than post build, which is usually how I roll. Ha ha.

Pipe going from firebox to chamber.

So I am building a smoker out of an old wood stove and piping the smoke to the 4 x 4 x 4 smokehouse. The stove will be about 14x12x20, should I go with a 6" pipe or a 4" pipe to the chamber??
