Hello everyone. First post. Been a long time pellet grill and chest smoker. We do a lot of deer hunting and like to make a lot of summer sausage and snack sticks. Our little smoker is proving to be too small for the volume we are wanting to do. I'm hoping I can lean on on some of the expert members here for advice. I've begun looking into building a Smokehouse. A lot of you guys have absolutely beautiful smokehouses. The information that you share on here is outstanding as well! I've decided to go entry level and do a pretty basic build to start. Something affordable and simple.
This is the plan I'm thinking of doing n't. I'm guessing a lot of you've seen these plans on the internet. Has anybody done a build similar to this? Couple of questions. This plan does not incorporate any type of insulation into its design. I'm planning to run a propane burner within it. Will not insulating cause major issues for me? Another question I have is this design does not incorporate any type of flame protection. Should I incorporate aluminum flashing the first few feet of the house?

Like I mentioned, I'm planning to use a propane burner as my heat source. I've seen a few controller builds that allows for temperature control down to the degree. In my previous Homebrewing days, I also saw several Raspberry Pi controller builds that allowed for control of a burner over a wireless network. If any of you have had success in builds like these please chime in and in and share. I'd love to hear your experience.
Foundation wise I'm just planning on placing this house on top of cinder blocks. Nothing too fancy.
Like I said we're trying to do something basic and simple and we're going to try to get it up pretty quick. Please try men with any advice you have. Thanks in advance
