C Can you cover bacon like with salmon? Afraid it’s gunna stink out the fridge.

Thanks guys. From memory I think they are about 50mm thick. I will do a cold smoke tomorrow, let it sit and fry some up to test. How long do you guys normally let it sit for after a cold smoke? There are so many different ways people doing it from instantly frying it up to waiting a few days...

He is by far one of the best characters in all of the Star Trek universe. He cracks me up every time.

After a very successful cold smoked salmon in my new Cedar smokehouse I thought I would give bacon a crack. 7 days curing, now about 30 hours in the fridge to dry off ready for a Saturday smoke! One with skin on and one with off to experiment. Wish there was a little less fat but that came...

Here is a few more photos. Seasoned it yesterday and today as well as checking for leaks, temps, etc. Despite it being pretty cold here I am unable to get the temp higher. I was thinking of buying another temp gauge and placing it near the bottom so I can get a reading down there as well as...

Is there a recommended sealer people use on here and if it’s safe to use? I used tongue and groove cedar boards. There are a lot of mistakes on it but expected for a first go. I am hoping to make a few more down the line for others so will get better and better at making them. I have a mini...

Hello! Apologies for the late reply, I kind of started the build and been building ever since! I also realised plywood is no good as it can contain some pretty nasty stuff in it, not sure why that guy on YouTube recommended it. I ended up sourcing some really nice Western Red Cedar tongue and...

Thanks. I noticed some people use ply which is a good option. I was trying to see if I can source some sort of flooring that way it's easier to construct and does look nice. I noticed people use untreated pine but I thought that would over time deteriorate outside.

Hello, I have gathered some materials to build my own smoker in my backyard. I have a very small concrete slab already there (660mm x 450mm) and looking to build a wooden smokehouse. Since I have a limited amount of room I wanted to put the fire pit underneath but it just clicked to me before...
