AFTER COMING ACROSS THIS SITE AWHILE BACK AND READING OTHER POST ABOUT SMOKEHOUSES I DECIDED I WANTED TO BUILD ONE. I LOVE TO DO LOW AND SLOW BBQ. ANYTHING FROM BRISKET TO WHOLE RABBITS. IN THE LAST YEAR I STARTED MAKING BREAKFAST SAUSAGE AND FRESH SAUSAGE AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO GIVE MAKING SMOKED SAUSAGE A TRY. SO I BOUGHT A BOOKED CALLED SAUASAGE MAKING AND SMOKEHOUSE DESIGN. AFTER TALKING WITH THE BOSS AKA THE WIFE WE CAME UP WITH A COMPRIMISE. FIRST I POURED A 5X4 SLAB THEN BUILT A 5FT X 3FT FIREPLACE THAT WAS LINED WITH FIREBRICK AND COVERED IN REGULAR BRICK
THEN I STARTED TO BUILD THE BOX WHICH WOULD BE AROUND 53 INCHES ACROSS AND ROUGHLY 30 INCHED ACROSS AND 4 FEET HIGH
I DECIDED TO USE 1/2 PLYWOOD. AND I DECIDED THAT I WOULD HEAT IT WITH PROPANE AND I HAVENT DECIDED IF IM GONNA USE A SMOKE GENERATOR OR USE WOOD CHIPS IN AN OLD CAST IRON POT THAT I HAVE. I HAVENT COOKED ON IT YET BUT I HAVE STARTED A SMALL FIRE AND USED APPLE WOOD TO START CURING THE BOX TO GET THAT PLYWOOD SMELL OUT OF IT. I HAVE USED MY PROPANE BURNER WITH MY POT AND WOODS CHIPS AND HADGOOD SMOKE AND A STEADY TEMP OF ABOUT 225-240 AND HAD IT AS HIGH AS 315. ANYWAY THIS IS WHAT I DID I HOPE YALL LIKE IT AND IF YOU DONT OH WELL I LIKE IT LOL
