Another Smoke House Build
Great build I feel your pain in working with aluminum sheet metal. I am curious what thickness did you use? It looks like I am going to help a friend build one. I used 0.040 on mine and I had to score every bend to make it work. It was a pain and I used up a new ferrous metal circular saw...- wazoo

Smoker finished and "smokin"
I had a hard time deciding on racks. I looked at new ones from the big box stores but for 4 racks I would have ended up spending more than I was really wanting to. I also looked at fabbing custom racks out of expanded metal and small aluminum angle but again I wasn't thrilled with the cost...- wazoo

Smoker finished and "smokin"
Yes those are oven racks. I went to a local appliance recycler and picked them up for $2.00. I used their size to determine the final inside dimensions of my smoker. I know this sounds crazy but I don't know what my shelf racks were originally. I got them when I was helping my neighbors...- wazoo

Smoker finished and "smokin"
I know recently there are some concerns with using hardie backer inside of a smoke house. I think they are very valid concerns if steps aren't taken to compensate for it not being fire rated. If anyone is using this build as a basis for designing a smoke house please notice that the entire...- wazoo

Finally started a Hardie Backer Smoker
I found a safety pilot light set up at Lowes for $60. I am going to check it you this weekend. It is a manual system that does not use a PID so you will still have to control your heat with a needle valve and venting but I think it can add a huge degree of safety to using a propane burner. I...- wazoo

Finally started a Hardie Backer Smoker
Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate the concern. I do not have any concerns with my hardie board because of the construction differences. I use hardie board only as a backer but it is not exposed directly to heat anywhere in the smoker. I have ceramic tile on the bottom and all sides...- wazoo

Finally started a Hardie Backer Smoker
It is not a pre-packaged unit for that price. I wish it was. That is an estimate of what I think the parts are going to cost me. I have been looking at parts on line and I think that I can get everything that I need as parts for an Endless summer propane heater for about that price. I have...- wazoo

Finally started a Hardie Backer Smoker
I have had the smoker up an running for a couple of months now. I have been very happy with it. See the thread on the finished project http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/137407/smoker-finished-and-smokin/20#post_971002 I have been able to have pretty good control over the temperature. I...- wazoo

Great meat prices = sausage and smoking this weekend
I just got my RD flyer yesterday. The Seattle area stores have pork butt for $0.89/lb and chuck roll for $2.19/lb. They also have brisket for $1.89/lb. Looks like I going to have a busy weekend. On a side note how long can I freeze cryopaked butts for? At this price I am definitely going by... -
Smoker finished and "smokin"
I had some leftover yellow fiberglass batt that I used. I think it is the same as pink batt insulation just made by a different manufacturer. Several other builds on this site have used the pink fiberglass batt. I did take the paper backing off. I have both aluminum sheet and Hardie backer...- wazoo

Sorry about the name. I have never been accused of being able to read much without pictures. I hope to check out the thermocouple option later this summer. I will let you know how it goes.- wazoo

Smoker finished and "smokin"
Brett, Thank you for the input. I appreciate your suggestion. I knew that could be a concern with hot smoking. The way I configured it there is a 2" gap right above the AMNTS so the smoke goes straight up into the smoke chamber and hopefully does not get pulled over into the flame from the...- wazoo

Smoker finished and "smokin"
Now that I have been using the smoker for a few weeks, I have decided that I need to add a few items. I need a shelf to hold trays when I am putting things in and out of the smoker. I also want to have some dry storage area at the smoker to keep things like gloves, lighters, tongs, and...- wazoo

Newbie - smokehouse build
I have a Northern Tool burner in my smoke house and it can still burn well with the two side vents totally closed and the front vent mostly closed. I think while you have to have some venting for the burner the vents have more to due with controlling the temperature. The 4 x 4 x 60 is a pretty...- wazoo

Kabanosy Today
Looks great. That is another "must do" project for me. How long will you age it before it is ready?
