My new shack for my smoker

[DRKsmoking]

Here is my new shack for my smoker to help with smoking in the cold weather. First smoke last week was a boneless pork loin, did a cider vinegar brine, it turned out great . So yesterday i did my first set of ribs. "St Louis Vanilla brown sugar glaze " 3-2-1. Came out great, This is going to be a lot of fun, trying new things to smoke and playing with different woods and rubs. Thanks to all here with the great posts i have been reading for awhile now. Giving me the info to move forward with my new pleasure. And hopefully not a new waist size, ha ha

Great looking setup you have! Did you build it yourself?

great set up!

thanks masssmoke, fun to set up and change as i start to use more and get a better feel in there while cooking, the Dutch door helps so i can just look in at the inkbird thermometer on wall as i walk by

I was a union carpenter for 34 years, did a lot of finish work in my time. Looks like a fine job there, nice work! RAY

Hi TuckersBarbeque
Yes built it last week , we had a 2 day warm spell, just above freezing, finished it on the inside in a couple days . I will change inside items as i see how it works as time goes on, not where the smoker sits though
I have 5 sheds around the yard for different things, wife says they are going to have an intervention for me to stop building sheds

Thanks Ray, I cooked for 20 years , been a carpenter now sense 1987, the shed needs to have the finishing touches but i have to wait until it warms up here . Needs paint and some final trim. Will put metal screening in the open rafters to stop the birds and squirrels

Wow game changer!!!

I built the shed on skids so i could move it if i need to for some reason. Also i used an old set-up i had in one of my old work cube trucks. I could pull up to some ones house to work and just plug into their power and i could work in the back of truck. So now i leave plugged into the side of shop, power and lights . Will be adding wire screening to the open rafters to stop small visitors

Yes this is why i built the shed, to help with the wind and keep smoker from weather so it will last longer here .

Thanks i'm loving the shack
Ha Ha , funny you would say that. we are on a lake and we never see any shacks on the lake for fishing, nice Trout in spring and small mouth all summer. Today lots of walkers and snowmobiles . So this summer i can see Trout from water to smoker in 150 short steps

Some insulation, big screen TV and a beer fridge and you'll be set.
