    New Smokehouse Build Finished!

    I have yet to run the heat in mine, but was going off of the expertise of all of the people before me who have used this particular burner. I actually never thought about it to tell you the truth. My plan was to fire it up with nothing in it and play with the needle valve that's inline back by...

    New Smokehouse Build Finished!

    So I finally finished this build. Got two coats of Waterlox sealer and 2 coats of Waterlox finish on it. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Ended up costing way more than I anticipated, and of course, took more time than anticipated as well, but it should last a lifetime. I did put it...

    New Smokehouse Build Finished!

    Hey Jack, I hung the bacon from a dowel, and smoked some cheese at the same time. It was a small 5 lb belly that I grabbed at Harris Teeter a couple of weeks ago out of the butcher case. I also did 18 lbs of cheese. All of the pics are below.

    Thanks Jack. I have the first two coats of Waterlox sealer on it. I still have 2 coats of the finish to get on it, but should be finished Saturday. Will have bacon and cheese in it Sunday with some final pics. Finally seeing the light at the end of this tunnel!

    Does anyone help you clean up after a smoke?

    This is Layla. She is my shadow, and will clean up almost anything that hits the floor, and some stuff that doesn't hit it......if you are not careful. She is a Lab mix and was a Katrina refugee. She turned 10 this summer.

    New Smokehouse Build Finished!

    Not yet Alelover. I still have a few finishing touches to complete. I have to put shingles on the roof, and the Waterlox sealer and finish should be here this week. I am hoping to have everything done and have some bacon in it the first weekend of November. I got it into the curing brine...

    UDS heat deflectors - What are you using?

    I use a 16 inch Terra Cotta saucer filled with play sand and covered with foil. It sits on a rack a couple of inches above my fire basket. You can get one at Home Depot for about 15 bucks. Works like a champ, and I think it also helps keep a steady temp.

    Thanks Bubba! I hope to get it seasoned this weekend. I have 10 lbs of cheese waiting to go in it as soon as it is ready.

    New Smokehouse Build Finished!

    This project has run a lot longer and more expensive than I ever imagined, but I am happy with the results. I had a little more time to work on the smokehouse this past weekend, and have made some good progress. Got the roof on it, and got some shelves built and installed. Also got the concrete...
