I was going to get the bright red one, but decided against it, and chose a maroons coloured red.  Cant wait!!  Ive done some steel before, and I was always told to screw it in the ridges, and have always don't it that way...

    Smokehouse Galore!

    So I finally finished roof part.  I ripped the first chimney down, and was going to put the vents on the side but I don't have enough space, so I thought long and hard and came up with a sleeker design.  I think it looks good now, I just hope it doesn't drip.  I also finished building the porch...

    Do I need a chimney for cold smoking?

    If I only do cold smoking, is it better to have a chimney or vents on the sides?  I don't really like the chimney I made, so I was thinking of putting two vents on either side of the gables.  Will this be ok, or should I leave the chimney alone?

    Smokehouse Galore!

    So today I finally had some time to finish up the sides and start the roof.  I was going to get some cedar shakes, but ended up finding some damaged (cheap) steel roofing pieces at the local hardware store, that I will use instead. I am beginning to not like the chimney I put up, so I was...
