    !st attempt at makin bacon

    Well after 2 weeks in the curing brine and 2 days in front of a fan, my pork bellies are ready to be smoked. I'm cold smoking w/ cob/pecan pellets in my Amaze-N-Smoker trays for 48 hrs. The burner in the pic is off for cold smoking and bacon is on the top shelf. So far so good. Gary

    smoking with corn cobs

    Hi: I come from Illinois originally and cob smoked bacon and ham was considered to be the best ever. I am smoking 20lbs of pork bellies into bacon using cob/applewood pellets in the AMNPS. Gary

    SMOKE HOUSE PLANS & MATERIAL'S plus 1st Q-Views

    Thank sounds good Al. Aluminum is a reasonable choice. It melts at 1800 degrees, so unless you like meat very well done it will be fine. Please avoid any galvanized building materials in areas of high heat, as the zinc oxidizes and can contaminate food. So when is the first big smoke going to...

    Very Cool AL!! Is it insulated? Are you painting or sealing the exterior? Gary

    Done at last! The money pit smokehouse is finished!

    Thanks! Because of all the rain we receive, I went with the metal that I had left over from building my shop.

    Hardie Backer/Plank for Smoke House?

    I'm out of my element here and my concerns were probably unfounded. You all make good points for it's use. As I said, my covering it was due to my own neurosis as much as anything, however,  I will have my widow post my obit if I croak since she won't eat what I cook.

    Yes the burner is from Northern Tool. It's a 35,000 BTU propane burner. I have only used the small center burner so far, but got up to 300 degrees. I have not tried to go higher than that. Thanks again everyone for the compliments!

    Hardie Backer/Plank for Smoke House?

    I was concerned about the possibility of contamination of the food smoked in a chamber lined with a Hardy product. The fire proofing aspect of the product is great. I looked at the Hardy site briefly and saw no mention of lining a food preparation device such as a smoker. It is a fiber-cement, I...

    Thanks, I guess you need to decide which you need the most. 2-300 dollars might not get the freezer conversion finished.

    As for mass production Mossy, I might end up sleeping in my smokehouse if the wife finds out what I really spent on it. But it would be fun to build a few. It's kinda heavy though.

    Hardie Backer/Plank for Smoke House?

    I used pink fiber glass batts w/ the kraft paper backing removed for insulation in my 2 x 4 framed smoke house. I don't see a problem when sealed inside a wall.

    Hardie Backer/Plank for Smoke House?

    I just finished a smokehouse build utilizing hardyboard as fireproof liner, but then covered it w/ 1/32" stainless steel. There is some concern over the "inertness" of hardy products when exposed to heat and moisture in a food prep enclosure. On the exterior it should be fine, but on the...
