    Not SO Mini Smokehouse Build w/Pics

    The wood racks will stop seeping, mine did by the time we had the 2nd smoke, I draped a little foil over them to keep it off of the meat while it was coming out. You might look into lining your heat chamber where the burner is with some duroc cement board, it works well in protecting the...

    Cedar smokehouse construction

    You might try placing a small fan in front of your firebox door in the summer to get a little slow forced air moving, might drop your temps enough to do some cold smoking in the summer, since you are using an AMNPS for your smoke.

    stainless coloring?

    Stainless in the elements will take a lot of polishing if you want it to shine. Painting stainless can be a pain, you almost have to etch it to get it to hold paint, and I"m not sure how the high temp paints would stick to it. Personally, a real smoker, needs to look like it smokes!! A little...

    Any Wine Barrel Smokers out there?

    Very interesting thread, is there any reason you cut the barrel for the lid instead of just popping out the top and cutting a bevel on it? Also, not sure how well it would work, and it would be a prep/cleanup pain, but we see them do it all the time on the Moonshiners shows, they use an oatmeal...

    5Oaks Smoker Build

    Well after getting over just being sick to my stomach when I looked at it, I have got started on the repairs. Got the cooking chamber re-insulated and re-lined. Got the bad parts all cut out of the door frames. Trimmed down my doors some, and got them squared back up, still have to go buy a...

    Source for cast iron feed doors

    Have you looked at a Barrel stove kit from your farm supply store, they come with a door with a frame, and the door has a slide damper built into it, its big enough for chunk wood. You probably wouldn't need the whole kit, just the door, but maybe somebody else would need the legs and other...

    building an outhouse style smokehouse.

    Having a larger vertical smoker, you have more options available to you than just the standard metal racks. Step back, get creative and see what you think will work for you. Remember, racks are something you can change as you see what works, while other parts of this type of smoker are more set...

    building an outhouse style smokehouse.

    There was a guy here the other day that went to Lowes and got the Chrome plated wire shelving they sell in 12", 16" and 24" depth and up to 12ft long, you can then cut it down to whatever size you need for shelving. It seemed to work well for him, and was an easy to find solution. You can find...

    They turned out great, love that lil smoker, although I'll be glad when the big one is fixed. Probably gonna do some ribs for just me and the wife on the 4th, no big party planned, we both have to work part of the day.

    20gal build Finially DONE

    I read on one of the other threads, that its best to do the test burn before you paint for a couple of reasons, #1 you won't have to repaint after you grind/weld if there is something that needs tweaked, #2 and maybe more importantly, they were saying if you painted your smoker while it was...

    5Oaks Smoker Build

    Finally got around to digging into the smoker, to figure out what all had to be fixed. Found out the true cause of the flareup, we had made an aluminum box for the charcoal basket, which may not have been a bad idea, will probably cut it in half though after thinking about it, and watch it like...
