    Smokehouse just smells like campfire

    Right now it's cold smoke only..... I think about rigging my treager jr to pipe better smoke into for better smoke flavor... Run it with 8 to 10 feet of pipe into my smoke house with the amznps running inside

    The Novice "Just Winging It" Smokehouse Build

    You mean to poor concrete over the top of that? Not going to hold up to concrete... Put a piece of plywood under that braced up with two chunks of 2x4.. Wet the ply wood before you pour the concrete then when dry pull out the plywood.

    Not getting TBS....

    I could do the space heater, eventually I will get a hot plate. I will try that heater to heat the house when I get someone to help me move it outside... Then I'll get some better pics, hard to get a good look in my poor garage
