I plan on building a smoker.

[rsp4834]

I've looked at some awesome smokers on this site and that's what prompted me to join. I plan on building a smoker soon and I am unsure what type to build. I'm sure everyone has their preference but I would be interested in hearing the pro's and con's of each from you guys. I have the materials available to me to make propane, or wood fired, even electric but that wouldn't be my first choice. I'll be reading up on construction etc. I hope you guys can give some advice to a newbie like me. thanks.

 to SMF!!! We're happy you joined us! There are a lot of people here who have built their own smokers so you should get a lot of help with it. Here's our "Smoker Build" forum, there's a lot to look at in there: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/f/197/smoker-builds

bigbluerog i built my smokehouse back in oct. and love it!!! I use propane as a heat source. I call it the " Infidel Smokehouse" all pork is welcome lol. since I mainly deal with wild hogs. there are some great smokers and smokehouses on here. Since building mine I have learned about curing meats and made home made bacon, cured "wild hog" hams, Canadian ham, was already making sausages and slims jims. I use mine at least twice a month smoking . and thats with working shift work!!!
