Thanks for all the info everyone. I still mostly lurk here, but when I need help, everyone is awesome. Thanks again.

That's what I thought. But like I said, everything I read said cure with sausage, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks again.

Hello Gurus, I've been smoking fresh meats and brined meats that require cure #1 for quite some time and now have decided I'd like to try my hand at making sausage...but I need some clarification. This will probably sound like a silly question to many of you and I think I'm probably just...

Sorry, there are no blueprints...I just made it up as I went along. I started with a cabinet I had already been using with propane and went from there.

Just an update. It's been almost a year since I built "Rosie"...Yes, I named her "Rosie, and I really don't have any complaints. The only other thing I don't like about it is that the door gaskets are on the cabinet itself. When this set fails, and they will, I will put the gaskets on the...

I've done a few turkeys, a couple of roasts and a few tenderloins (both beef and pork) and I have no regrets about the glass in the door. Yes there is some heat loss but nothing that is significant, plus I can see what's going on inside. After the smoke I clean the glass with a razor and it's...

Hey everyone, it took a month of spare time, but I'm finally done. Going to season it tonight and smoke Sunday supper. Here's a quick rundown. I started with my single wall (3/32" thickness), homemade propane job that was 24"W x 24"D x 36"H. I removed the propane setup, plugged all the holes...

No one can tell me what my chimney length should be or if my intake size is adaquate or overkill? Someone must know. Thanks in advance.

Yes they are very similar in principle to a UDS. I do need it to be insulated though in order to cook in the winter. It gets -30C here. This build will be near free since I have most of the materials that are leftovers from other jobs. I just need some confirmation/answers to my questions first.

Thanks for the welcome. It's been about a decade since I've been to T-Bay...Usually the farthest I go is around the Kenora area.

Hello everyone, I've searched the forums, read hundreds of posts, gathered tons of info, made a plan, registered here, done the intro in roll call & now it's time to get down to business. This is my first build, so any and all input is appreciated. At the end of this post will be a pic of what...

Hello from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada I'm not new to smoking or grilling. I personally prefer using wood/charcoal over propane for both. Although I own both kinds for grilling, I only have a small, cheap "Smoke House" propane smoker from Cabellas. It's time to build something that is larger...
