Thanks Al. After my first test burn, and reading some of the posts in this forum, I cut a 4"x8" fresh air inlet down low on the back of the box. I put an adjustable floor register cover on it so I could damper it as needed. I did another test burn, and this time I borrowed an ET-732 from my...

Thanks Chef J. And thanks...128521

I'm wondering what type of screen you guys use over your smoke house vents/openings to keep the nasties out. Is there a good wire mesh or something? Where's a good place to find it? I looked at Home Depot, but they didn't have much of anything.

I finished all the siding, and got the door mounted this past weekend, so she's finally all sealed up and ready to cook. I still have some trim work for final finishing, but it's operational now. I did a test burn late on Sunday just to watch smoke roll through her. I haven't gotten a...

I used cedar shims as "shake" shingles. Purely decorative, but I liked the look. There's an interstitial space between the cedar ceiling and the OSB roof deck. I used a 4" elbow that transitions to a 10"x4" register above the door for the vent. Will use a floor register cover with the...

I'll just carry on with this one... I used 2x4 rough cut cedar for the framing, and 1x6 t&g cedar siding for the floor/ceiling/walls/door. I built it up high enough so that I could elbow out of the stove, and up into the bottom of the smokehouse. I have a large stack of bricks left over from my...

If I "recover" the draft and post it, can an admin clear this thread? I don't want to be the "newbie" who posts the same thing multiple times! Lol

I poured a 2'x3' pad for the stove, and a 4'x4' pad for the house.

I used to do a lot of elk hunting in Colorado, and had a canvas wall tent with a little tent stove in it for heating. I've since moved to Texas, so no need for the tent/stove. I was trying to figure a good re-purpose for the stove when I stumble upon some smokehouse pics online that used...

Well, I created a huge post, chronicling my build every step of the way, included pictures and everything, and when I got to the end, I hit the "preview" button and my phone tanked, so my post got lost I suppose. I'll recreate it, but I'm going to piece it together with several smaller posts...

My favorite quote from one of my favorite movies by one of the coolest actors who ever lived. ~Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore (Robert Duvall). Apocalypse Now!

Now that I have a little time, I should go back and chronicle my build. The smoke box is approximately 3'x3'x4'. I used rough cedar 2x4s for the framing, the siding is 1"x6" t&g cedar. The whole thing started with this old camp stove I had from back in my elk hunting days in Colorado. I...

"Charlie don't surf" is a movie quote from Apocalypse Now. Got the door on the smokehouse today, so I'm sitting here giving her a test burn. She's smokin' good! Smells fantastic!!

Thanks for the welcome. Here's a couple of pics of the build. Still have a bit left to do, but getting close to the finish!!

My name is Mike. I live in Driftwood, Texas. I'm about 90% complete on a smokehouse build. I've been ghosting info from this forum from other builds along the way. I'll backtrack a post chronicling my build, but for now, just wanted to officially join the conversation with a formal "hello".
