    Biggest smoker build... = success?

    Sorry was half asleep when I wrote that, also you might want to look into making wooden dowels routed from 2x2's and place the pans on that.

    Biggest smoker build... = success?

    My 2 cents: Just be careful as temps that get too high could cause paint and other metals to release chemicals, fumes, etc. While they aren't touching the meat the fumes are just as nasty. I'm not a metallurgist so I googled it. Galvanized and zinc coating as an example in regards to welding all...

    Biggest smoker build... = success?

    I'm not sure what its called or where to get it but look into the loose insulation they spray in attics. If you live near a beach you could use sand but you are talking about adding some serious weight. Could mix it with perelite to lighten it up. Could also use dirt. All good insulators but...

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    Well IMO you can leave it un-insulated but it may/may not be difficult to regulate the heat. Many leave it uninsulated. As for the cracks in the wood it is good to have some areas to breathe.

    Yea do you plan selling product or more for personal use? From a personal perspective I'd look at it and mistake the rust for you know what. Shouldn't be hard though.

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    No prob...just talking about it makes me want to go outside and work on mine.

    got some questions for my build

    You might try to look up threads pertaining to just that. On another note if your smokehouse gets anywhere near 1200 it probably means the thing caught on fire lol

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    No it won't insulate the wood but if you are using anything treated with chemicals (wood, galvanized fasteners', etc.) you will need to coat it with that paint.

    got some questions for my build

    Hey Jdub good morning...i have heard of a lot of people using mineral wool. I myself am using unfaced fiberglass but will also have Durock between that and CC...looks like a good start keep us posted. 128513

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    Another thing you could try is high temp oven paint to coat any surfaces that might be in question.

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    Also you might want to watch using value wood inside the cook chamber as it may be stored in a bin with other woods that could cross contaminate yours with chemicals. Would consider lining entire thing in durock. I'm hoping to finish mine in the upcoming month or so and will show you what I mean.

    Biggest smoker build... = success?

    Would think with enough bleach and heat could cure anything ;) Hope everything works out for ya. The certification might be a good thing to have if you can get it to have with the trailer so you can show whomever might eat out of it that some hippy liberal went over it with a fine tooth comb and...

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    Yea I hear ya on the budget. I told the wife around 500 on mine. I'm a little over and only half way done. My problem was I'd start building and think "ah I definitely need to do that". It adds up. So for now I am going to finish up mine without the Side Fire Box and cold smoke cheese with AMNPS.

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    Yea lookin good man, do you have a small budget for this build? I ask as you mentioned a lot of bargain wood. You lookin to cold or hot smoke? I am using fiberglass insulation and durock cement board to line my inside.

    Starting the Smokehouse

    Well aside from me having to watch the baby, work, and most of all my daughter being colic and getting over multiple infections, I saw a perfect opportunity to work on it last Wednesday but then that cold front came in and dumped a bunch of snow. At this rate it will be a year before its done lol.

    Want to build a smoke house where to start?

    Yea of course. Here is the link to mine. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/154024/starting-the-smokehouse/0_100#post_1122314 As far as the heat source goes from what I have seen burning wood generates heat upwards 700 - 800 degrees. Sometimes even higher. The trick is insulation. ATCNick did...

    Genie at the Golf Course

    A man and his wife were golfing one afternoon in a very upper class country club when his wife sliced the ball to the right and through the window of a large mansion. While going to the front door they noticed it was open and went in. They noticed all the broken glass and there stood a man and a...
