    Build a octagon/hexagon smoker ? blueprint/pdf

    Would anyone happen to have a blueprint/pdf of a octagon/hexagon smoker? reverse or just offset. I can find alot for propane builds. but as they are hard to come by in my country. i was thinking about building one out of sheet metal instead. but cant seem to find any blueprint for it :)

    yeah i would def let it season for around 6 months. yeah thats my thoughts aswell, i dont you think you can find any orchards, that dont spray for winter. and as the farmer said it would be long gone by now.
