    Pit Boss-Traeger-Recteq best for the money.

Unless you use tongue and groove boards you will eventually have cracks. I know quite a few people do use plywood. For the people that are against...

    Started working on my smokehouse this weekend. I am going to use a rather large wood stove that I already have that I use to heat my old house with. It will be about 6 feet away on the left side looking at the door under a shed that was already there. I am going to build a wood frame for the...
