You may want to check out some of the builds on this forum; without knowing what size, etc. difficult to provide do's and dont's.  Definitely use western cedar - eastern cedar is very aromatic and resinous.  You need to break it in with smoke before you start using a new house.

Nice looking smoke shack. What are your plans for heating it and how are you planning to generate smoke?

Well my friend at work tells me to use the northern tool propane burner, but open to ideas!!!!

I just got my northern tool burner yesterday. Haven't fired it up though.

That's a good looking smokehouse you got there. Got some pics of the inside?

Can I use insulation board in my smoker if I cover it with 1/4 in plywood???

Nice build. Good work!

Only advice I have is; to avoid confusion, don't keep it next to the poop shack!
