    I will defenitely do that. And what I ended up doing for the air control is making four 2in ports out the sides of the firebox on the bottom and made my own dampers for them which seal up almost solid. And you are right the firebox will be 4ft away from the house and entering near the bottom...

    Wow that's unfortunate about the fish. Glad the smoker survived. I'm gonna start it out pretty low until I get the hang of controlling the temp. Good to know also because I was thinking of throwing a few butts in there after Ive had it going for 6 hours just to play with it a bit. And I almost...

    Thank you. I'm putting the final touches on the firebox today and hopefully have it done and assembled on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. I'm really glad you answered because I was thinking of cutting a bunch of cedar strips down so I can seal the house up better and add a chimney. I will...

    How long /when to replace the wood chunks

    Let me rephrase that using wood chunks they will keep smoking for a while after the outside is charred. I thought I read wood chips. If you open your smoker and don't get blinded by the massive amount of smoke rolling out the door add more wood

    How long /when to replace the wood chunks

    pretty much when you can't see any wood color anymore. It will still smoke for a while after that but is not as much as the fresh wood. You can replace the wood or add more on top of the charred wood. But your new wood will burn faster when you just add more on top.

    First Try at Smoking

    I usually do 70 venison 30 pork but it all depends on how moist you want them. Another suggestion for next time is cheese! I almost always put cheese in all my different kinds of sausage. Don't waste your money on the high temp cheese either. Buy shredded cheese in bulk and have it frozen when...

    First Try at Smoking

    The snack sticks cool very quickly when you take them out. I live in mn and I always do mine in the winter. I wouldn't worry as long as you checked every rack and a few sticks from each rack. Because if your using 4 racks the bottom will get done way faster than the others. I always rotate mine...

    Hi everyone! Ive built a 48x48x72 tall cedar smokehouse (will get some pictures when I get home) And I'm wondering about the intake size of my fire box and the exhaust size of the smokehouse. Here's what I'm doing for a firebox I'm building a 24in tall 24in diameter stainless firebox which...
