Drevos Smokehouses

[rawcalls]

Anyone ever seen these? Look like EXACTLY what I want as far as features. Separate heat and smoke function/controls, convection fan, nice aesthetics, etc. I believe they're made in Romania. Price isn't terrible but freight is about as much or more than the smoker. Any of you here in the U.S. able to make me something similar?

Did you build the structure from scratch?

Yes

Nice!

Build one. Set it up however you like heat and smoke wise. Here is mine. I have since added a smoke generator from Smokin-It.

Very nice. What kind of wood is the exterior? What do you have on the inside?

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Nice

I gotta get mine built

The box is CDX plywood (fir) the exterior is rough sawn Douglas Fir. The bottom firebox is sheeted inside with hardibacker cement board, the 1/4” stuff, for the heat, the smoke chamber is just Doug fir plywood.

Patiently waiting Rick. Nothing like getting back into a big wooden smokehouse. I know yours will be nice once completed.

@rawcalls welcome to the forums. Lots of great examples here for you to build off of. Take the ideas and make changes to fit what you want. If you’re not handy with power tools and etc find someone that can take your ideas and build it. And sometimes it takes a bit for us to reply. Patience grasshopper!

I found a local guy that saws his own logs. told him my dimensions and he figured 180 bf of 1x12x8, not bad for $135 so I might jump on it.

Do you have pics of the inside

I'd consider buying one of these if they were in the US.

Thanks, Jim. I am fine with the power tools/building the structure. I would likely need help with the electrical parts of it. Would like a convection fan and heating element with waterproof rocker switches to control them. Wifi temp control (inkbird?) would also be nice to have. Also would like the inside to be lined with stainless steel, similar to the Drevos. At least the bottom 3rd of it. I don't want to have a bunch of accessories hanging on the outside of it. The fit/finish is important to me. I want it to look as professionally done as possible.

Not any real good ones but here are a couple up top (3x3x4’)

A couple of the lower firebox (3x3x3’j

Then I added a separate smoke generator for the cold smoke option, but now use it for general operation, really good unit.

Looks awesome! What is the max temp you can achieve?

 

[SmokinEdge]

250 is the highest I’ve gone. But I have about 6 other bbq pits that are designed for that. This box never usually goes above 170 ish. Most of my smoking is in the 120-150 range.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Yes now that is nice.
