MI Mini Smokehouse (work in progress)
For those watching... I did my first smoke in the new smokehouse today. Man was it fulfilling!! I made 2 sides of pork ribs slow smoked all day. I was able to identify some shortfalls and quirks with the smoker and fix them just as quick. And the ribs were phenomenal!! Some cornbread, souther...- tstank

FINALLY!!! It's 95% complete... needs better legs and trim on the back. But it can be leak tested and brought to temp. What better time than 20 degrees and snowing!!! You can see in the pics it smokes well and came to temp fast, even in the cold conditions!!- tstank

It gets rather cold up here, I'm using fiberglass to ensure holding proper Temps. I'll use heavy duty tin foil to build liners, just throw them away when they get nasty. The hot plate is cast iron and stainless so that should be easy to clean. I appreciate the input.- tstank

Hey yall, I just recently started getting into summer sausage, and have been making my own jerky for years. But in the oven just isn't as good. Well I borrowed a Lil' Chief from my uncle to do some venison summer in. And it was phenomenal!! So I decided to try my oven baked recipe in the smoker...- tstank
