I've been smoking now for a few years. Started with one of those basic charcoal, vertical cylinder type smokers. Then my uncle gave me a charcoal grill with a small smoker box on the side. I've grown comfortable using the shitty grill, and i can get a killer smoke on meats. I need more room for more meat and I'm thinking of building a smoke house. My biggest issue is the wind.. where I live, it's windy pretty often. I need help on which direction I should position the opening of the firebox. I was thinking either perpendicular, or opposite the usual wind direction. I also have the option of putting up a fence around the entire thing. I just didn't want to spend that much money.. attached are a few picks of some of my smoker jobs
