    Metzgermeister schloss

    Fantastic build so far! I'm very impressed with the craftsmanship. I can't wait to see the end result. I'd love to build something like this, the only things holding me back are time, materials and know-how (and the boss).

    Smoke house out of Cement Board?

    2014 Michigan Get Together ( July 19 2014 )

    I'm sorry I missed the get-together. My family passed the 4,000 mile mark in our vacation yesterday! We visited family in Kansas City and St. Louis so we had ribs 3 days in a row. I'm looking forward to doing some smoking when we get home!

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    Here she is with the roof on. I used two pieces on the top and married them together with the 1x4 and instead of cutting it down to fit I left the additional so I could clamp a light onto it for night smoking. Small, cheapo charcoal smoker and an attempt to use it when it was 2 degrees out...

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    Just realized I hadn't updated this since I finished the smoker. I tried the electric hot plates and couldn't get enough heatup. Of course it was bloody cold until the last week or two. I picked up a really cheap charcoal smoker and tried it out by itself and didn't like it too much so I just...

    2014 Michigan Get Together ( July 19 2014 )

    I'll be out of town that weekend so will miss the get together. Sounds like it'll be a good time. Thanks for the invite, hopefully we'll be able to make it next year.

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    I finally have the doors on. I reused some old cabinet doors my wife got free from craigslist or freecycle or some such. They aren't ideal and I had to hack them quite a bit so they don't fit very well. I may have to do some more playing with them to get smoke to stay in. They aren't very pretty...

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    I'll have to fiddle with it and see what kind of temps I can get. I have a propane burner/turkey fryer that I can use if I need more heat but I'd like to avoid putting open flame inside there if possible.

    Building my own with 'value' wood.

    Thanks, guys! I hadn't read about the durock/osb concern. I'm planning to use a dual burner electric hot plate for heat and smoke so I don't think my temps will get very high. Do you know at what temperature that becomes a concern? I'll do some research on it.

    Where does everyone buy their meat?

    OK, thanks! I'll know where to go when I'm ready to tackle that project.

    Where does everyone buy their meat?

    I also recommend GFS (not just because I work there either). If you can buy directly from a farmer that is always best. The closer one can get to the source the better as far as I'm concerned. I've never been in Byron Center Meats but I've only heard good things. I sent a message to you all on...

    Starting the Smokehouse

    I feel your pain on the weather. I've been working in the garage and it got up into the teens yesterday so I got quite a bit done. Not an option for you, obviously. Hope your daughter's better soon and gets through the colic. My oldest girl was colicky and that is no fun. Good luck!
