    Starting the Smokehouse

    Alright got some good weather and laid the foundation. I added one more layer and also poured concrete in every other hole. That in addition to installing anchor bolts so I can remove the cook chamber is a must around these parts as I am in a hurricane zone

Dave found a really awesome video illustrating the use of building an internal wooden frame to cover in refractory mixture and then once you have your shaped/cured box you can just burn out the...

    Starting the Smokehouse

    Haha yea although it may be tricky as the area behind there is owned by the school. A few trees may have to accidently come down haha. The base packs pretty tight. I live in Virginia near the water so the soil is very shallow, soft, and wet almost always so had I done it straight to soil it...

    Starting the Smokehouse

    The plot...hey it's a start. The first dig. I placed my cinder block foundation on the ground and measured a 1 foot buffer around the entire plot. Used fluorescent orange contractors paint to mark the outline. Once I had the plot dug out (approx. 3-4 inches) I went down to the local Stone...

    Starting the Smokehouse

    I'll start off by saying ATCNick and his cedar smokehouse was my inspiration on this build. As stated before I am new to smoking and an amateur in regards to carpentry but just peeled it back layer by layer. Pictures to follow.

    Substitute for firebrick inside of SFB?

    Yea I was looking at that too. I'm military so the 10% off is nice. The refractory cement I was looking at has 12.5lbs of it so additionally I am interested in making my own. I'll find the you tube link on how to make your own bricks and post it here.

    Substitute for firebrick inside of SFB?

    I am still in the planning stage but has anyone tried using a cement substitute in lieu of firebricks? I ask because at around $25 for a 6 pack I started looking around. This stuff is rated at 2200 degrees and is said to be useful for casting stone ovens as well...
