    Pre-Paleolithic era Treager?

    After almost burning my cold smokehouse down by using it to cook, I remembered that a friend of mine about 90 mins a way upgraded his old Treager and offered the Treager to me 6 months ago. Back in the summer when he offered it to me, my wife told me no that I could not have it, that I already...

    New Firebox Lids for both Smokehouses

    I have both a hot smokehouse and a cold smokehouse that I built this year. I was never quite sure how to build the top of the firebox since I could not figure out a way to put fire bricks on the ceiling without fear of them falling in. I saw somebody on one of the forums put a steel plate across...

    Need Advice on Firebox for Hot Smokehouse

    I guess I need to consult the experts on Firebox building. I used concrete blocks on top of a concrete slab. And line floor of fire box and side with fire bricks. That all seems to work great as walls are cold to the touch. I was unsure of how to put on a ceiling when building so I saw...

    I have been taking a lot of advice from the members here and appreciate all your help! I am nearing the completion of my hot Smoke House, which is a Cedar siding both inside and out, with a layer of aluminum flashing on all inside walls and ceiling, and I am most likely not going to be...

    Concrete Board inside Hot Smokehouse?

    I am nearing completion of my hot smokehouse. I have used three-quarter inch cedar both inside and outside of my frame. My wife would like me to make it a little more fire proof by adding protection inside. Is concrete board acceptable to use or is there another, medium, that people suggest...

    Firebox to Smokehouse piping question

    All, I am planning to build a smokehouse this spring. I am drying roughcut cedar in my shop now. I’ll be running a pipe from the firebox to the smoker. A design similar to atcnick’s and cowlady’s smokehouses. A couple questions for those of you who have made a few smokers and have experience...

    Cold Smoke House Build

    Still looking at ideas from previous posts for a new Cold Smokehouse build. I am still a tad concerned about too much heat. Will probably use a combination of ideas from Cowgirl and atcnicks smokehouses but still have questions. I may build a firebox or use an old wood stove I have laying...
