    Thoughts on a brick smoker...

    I agree with Dave.   It wouldn't cost that much to build another one.  A day project at most.    Ideas are endless this this building.   It would make a great smokehouse.

    Insulating brick smoker

    To keep it all the same, I used type S mortar for my complete build for a smoker.   For my smoker I also used type S.  I mixed it 1 part type S to 2 parts sand.   A very strong mix.      I used the same mix for the firebrick.  But, I kept my joints to 1/4in. max.   A smoker doesn't get hot...

    Will do.   It will be packing somewhere around 100lbs of 1lb packs in a few weeks.  Really looking forward to something that doesn't over heat.

    boston butt help!!

    You did awesome!  As the great one stated,  there is a ribbon of fat  across it.  When it breaks open, just rack it out with your cleaver.  I don't like it so I never serve it.  I also  trim my butts.  I remove all the fat cap.  I use the fat for sausage. Looks awesome!

    Well,  broke down a bought the VacMaster Pro 350.  Reviews looked really good.  We just need something faster then our foodsaver.   Most all our packing is 1lb. bags.   Also got the rolls I need.   Best I remember shipping is super fast, so I should have them by the 20th.    It wouldn't take...

    Lisa, its been a while.  Last I ordered, I ordered a case.   I am in need of another case.  I'm sorry to be a pain, but I'd really like the May discount.   We have done a fundraiser the past 2 years in honor of our fallen son who was a Marine.    All profits go to the local Marine Corps League...

    Roofing material question

    Leoric, the last picture you posted on your thread you were square on top.  Did you step it down to a flue?   If so,  a simple chimney cap to fit the size of your flue liner.    If you are still square at the top,  I don't see why a roof wouldn't work, but there is a risk of fire.   Like Dave...

    Insulating brick smoker

    It kinda depends on how much you want to spend.   I'm a huge fan of firebrick.  Their dense and hold heat very well.  They don't obsorb moisture.  Block are very porious and moisture loves them.   You have to drive the moisture out of the oven before it will heat up.   If you have the room and...

    This is simply awesome!   Beautiful work sir!   Looking forward to seeing some awesome food come out of it. The vents may be a bit small starting a smoke.  Once you get the smoker up to temp,  it won't be a problem You shouldn't have any problems with them getting clogged.  The ashes will fall...

    Insulating brick smoker

    Good evening.    There are a couple different things you can use, but....   your firebrick will hold your heat. I used regular fiberglass insulation between the oven  and block.   On a 10-12 hrs smoke, the only thing that gets warm is around the doors.   Another option is you can fill the void...
