My cedar smokehouse build

[foamheart]

It's an insulated section of stove pipe that runs from the firebox to the smoke house.

Thermal isolation, smarter than the average bear!

Firebox walls are done. Refractory panels will go in next. I was finally able to start building the actual smoke house. The first pieces of cedar have been installed. I got a great deal on some reclaimed cedar 2x4's [emoji]128515[/emoji]

I live in Fort Worth, Texas.

Looks great, fellow Fort Worthian!

Greetings. I actually live in Haslet but nobody would know where that is so I put Fort Worth. It's close enough.

Looks great... Do you have plans that you can post?

 

[pilotom]

No working off any palms plans. I'm actually following another guys pics and build on this forum. Here is the link

Congratulations on your progress so far.  The masons I used to work with, (I was on the carpentry crew), used to add anti freeze to their mortar mix.  I've seen this done when the temps would drop below freezing before the mortar would dry completely.  Might be worth looking into.  On the other hand;  I don't think that I would want to be out there handling cold block and brick in those temps if I didn't have to be.

I was able to get back to the build today. Framed the smoke house. Installed the refractory panels on the back and sides and front of the firebox [emoji]128513[/emoji]

Got a lot done this weekend. The entire frame is done out of reclaimed cedar from a torn down fence. I got a great deal on it [emoji]128513[/emoji]

WOW that is looking very nice!! I like the kind of Chalet look to it. Will make a nice place between the fire box and smoker to keep your wood out of the weather. Great Idea!
Keep the pictures coming!
Keep Smokin!!!

Coming right along and looking good.

Roof is done. All that is left is the door. I did a little test smoke and this thing actually works. I can't wait to start smoking [emoji]128513[/emoji]

GREAT looking project Pilotom!!

  Have you been meat shopping?  (Or hunting)?

What are the dimensions of the inside of your smoke chamber?
