Hello From Sorta Lovely Tempe, AZ
New to smoker game here, but long time Weber kettle grill lover and user.
Going to have upgrade to having a dedicated smoker.Due to my EXTREMELY limited budget have to DIY it in many small steps!
Looking more for vertical space as my wife wants to smoke sausage and cheese, which we are making it home!
SO naturally i am looking to the interwebs for help never built a smokehouse before!
Some things i have to consider are as follows!
1 .EXTREMELY limited budget . Will have to due this in many small steps over the next 6 months to a year!
2. Has to be on wheels due to HOA BS
3. Need to be taller to hang 2 to 3 foot sausages
4. A Quasi disabled gimp like me will have to be able to wheel it around somewhat easily!
5. Everything i did not think of goes here
Below is a picture of what i was sorta hoping was a rough draft
Which leads me to the following Questions
1. Would this wood (cedar V grove panls here work for the Walls and roof https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-4-in-x-3-5-in-x-8-ft-Cedar-V-Plank-6-Pieces-14-sq-ft-8203015/202106509 ?
2. Given the 2' by 4' foot print at 4' tall would this fire box work https://www.homedepot.com/p/Char-Gr...Grill-Side-Fire-Box-in-Black-E82424/310668067 ?
3. Would good old fashioned NON treated 2"x4" work for the frame to attach the panels to ?
4. Last but not least how would you attach firebox to Smokehouse?
