My first photos are on a smaller chip that my pc just won't read so I ended up using my wife's camera today to get some shots.
I have been wanting to build a smokehouse for some time now but life is just a little too busy. I spied a half of a shipping crate at work and decided it was time to build. I decided to build it in the corner of my shed that I already have. It's 10x16 and houses my mower and some larger power tools so there was plenty of room. I think this will be great since it will be out of the weather and should stay fairly clean. I plan to use it mostly for cold smoking during the non-summer months here in AZ.. I did alot of looking around the site and I have to give thanxs to Pops since I'm stealing alot of his ideas!!
I need to add some more 1x2 trim to the inner corners and get it sealed up a little better. I also have some hardware / seal conflicts I need to work out but I should be up and running real soon..
The lower door will be sealed, I just ran a little short.. I'm no photographer as you can see. The ceiling has a little pitch to help the smoke flow and the floor has some 1/2" masonry board on it. I plan to skirt the sides a little when I can get another piece of board.
Final inside dimensions are 31x39x 7'
