    General Smokehouse Questions

    My next thought was foundation?  I'm still deciding, although I might just put it on a field stone or something similar foundation. Thinking maybe C Block and some of that fancy rock veneer? My goal is to make this baby look like it has been there all along. I was thinking of going with wood...

    General Smokehouse Questions

    I certainly will post my build as I go through. My issue at the moment is not if but when. I am hoping to get going this fall, but I might build it over the winter.

    General Smokehouse Questions

    That's huge. I don't have a table saw, but the 30 year old master mechanic circular saw is like cutting butter, in my hands! Now for drilling those holes... One of the things that stinks about living in the Northeast. On a slab. No garage... I have a shed that is like 12 x 20 inside I need to...

    Starting the Smokehouse

    Thanks for explaining all of that, it. That makes good sense to me and I an going to PDF this thread once you get done (for future reference) I have read lots of posts from DaveOmak and you are right, his advice is solid.  One more question, Do you have an air intake down near the bottom? Is...

    Starting the Smokehouse

    I was referring to the outside dimensions of the smoker You are using 2.5 blocks each side which works out to 40 inches length and width? What I am getting at more than anything is if there has to be any correlation to the height and the overall, width and length other than to make it so the...

    You better keep the guard dog on duty or someone is liable to run off with that baby. Keep it coming, very nice.

    Starting the Smokehouse

    Interesting build! Smokehouses are a new interest for me. Is there a particular reason why you went with the 40"x40" size? Also how tall is your house? I have been also wondering about the smoke leaving the smokehouse. Did you leave gaps under the eaves or what is your plan for that? I have also...

    Breakfast Sausage Experiment

    great experiment. That is our life's mission. Take all sorts of chances cooking food and then eating it. We owe this debt to all of humankind! Hat's off to you Disco for your sacrifice!  I'm sure the red wine thing was just due to the "Canadian" time difference!

    Thermometer troubles

    I use the ET-732 and love it. Very accurate, no issues. I use an ECB so opening up to look and probe let's all the heat out. Keeping the lid on keeps the temps consistent... my .02  Smoke on!

    Extra expanded steel = second grill holder

    interesting idea. Hard to picture without a you know... picture. Looking forward to seeing that, sounds like a great idea and easy to do.

    There you go. I just pictured here in an old dusty cobwebbed corner of the garage or shed... all alone... discarded like an old rake with a broken handle...

    hi there you all

    Steve, I think you should be posting that in the Charcoal forum, or somewhere over here: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/f/108/charcoal-smokers I already know your grill, but I'm not sure about the magnetic thermometer? You need to take measurements of the temps as close to the cooking...

    and don't be to hasty to toss the old ECB, pass it on to the next person that needs to learn. Or sell it to off-set your birthday present, lol.
