    Block Smoker Build in MI

    I think the roof of my build, as drawn, will be wood framed, with a sheet of plywood underneath and i'll cover that with some sort of sheet metal.   Mentioning wood smokers- would those be safe to build a fire in? ;) Thanks again everyone for your insight-  I figure i have a solid month until...

    Dave do you think the raining would happen for hot smoking as well?  My intent was for right around the 220-230 degree range for brisket, ribs, shoulder etc.  I suppose i could use it for cold smoking also- but i want to master the hot first ;)  thanks again for your insight

    Block Smoker Build in MI

    Best Barbecue Restaraunt in MI?

    slows is well worth the wait/ drive.  They have a carry out location (slows to go) that has a smaller menu (but still has all meats) and like no wait by Wayne State University (midtown detroit).  Between Slows and Lockharts I figure they are the top two in metro detroit (though i have not tried...

    Block Smoker Build in MI

    Thanks Wes W for posting the photos.  Your smoker is a thing of beauty.  Do you light a fire in your bottom door there or is that controlled from the fireplace adjacent to it?  If your using charcoal how much would generally use to say smoke pork shoulder?
