All:
I'm seeking some info from season veterans. I'm planning a smokehouse build for my farm in Maryland. It looks like most people are building smokehouse with the firebox within 3' or so of the smoke house and running a mostly horizontal pipe to connect. My location allows for the option of running the firebox down the hill from the smokehouse with a buried pipe connecting it. I can probably go anywhere from 30' to 50' away with the firebox if I really want to. Any thoughts on the merits of one approach or the other? Should I set up both configurations, and use the close firebox when I want to hot smoke items?
Appreciate your thoughts on the subject.
Cheers,
Bob
