Hello I'm noikin66 from Rushville, Ilinois. I use an electric smoker to learn some smoking skills without battling temperatures! I work in a local lumber yard and love working with wood as well as smoking. I want to build a wood smoke hoouse and pipe the heat and smoke into the smokehouse from an external hot box, but
I also want to line the interior of the Smokehouse with copper tubing and pump pool water through the pipe to heat my pool. I imagine being able to smoke meat all day for a party in the evening and being able to heat the pool for great night swimming to entertain our guests! I welcome any advice or ideas and thank you for welcoming me to this community!

Welcome aboard!

Now heating your pool with a smokehouse is one of the coolest ideas I've heard in a long time.

Welcome from Oklahoma.  I have an electric smoker also, and it works well for us.

Heating a pool is going to take a lot of heat over a pretty long period of time.  I think you will need a big burner using a lot of fuel.  Might want to do some checking on that before you combine it with your smoker.  It might be hard to keep your smokehouse at a constant temperature when your pool is cool..

Good luck and let us know how it works out.
