Smokehose 101

[schmedleyp]

I am considering building a smokehouse.

I found a set of plans on the Internet called:

Smokehouse 101 by A.E. Poynor, Fish Alaska, July 2004 Vol 5, Issue 5. pp 30-35 and Transcribed by Cameron Fausman and Alton Blodgett, Dept. of animal science. U-Conn. Connecticut State Dept of Agriculture.

Has anybody looked at this and if so what did you think?

They look pretty simple and straight forward.

Please let me hear your opinions.

I have looked at some of your designs and I am also looking at incorporating some of your designs into this build.

Thanks in Advance

Marty

is this the plans you're talking about?

If so, on my sig line below with all the links, please see my plans under "Smokehouse".

I currently use this smokehouse all the time and it works great!

schmedlyp,

I followed instructions from this site...http://www.hotspotoutdoors.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2245229/So_you_want_a_smoker_huh_How_t

The key to it's size is only using 2 sheets of plywood.

All together I have about $250 invested in mine.  I've been smoking over a year in it with no problems.

And you can build it with a jigsaw and a circular saw.

Yes Pops, those are the plans I was talking about.
I have already looked at your build and a couple others.
I was wondering if anyone had built that particular model to see if it was worth the trouble.
I'm an old aircraft mechanic and not a good carpenter.
I do love your build tho!

As i proceed with the smoker and get more proficient with the website I'll keep you guys informed

Thenks for responding!

Teddy, thanks for the look see! As i stated in the above reply to pops, I need something simple.
The only thing I know about biscuits are that they go good with gravy.
I do like the looks of your smokehouse.

Trust me before I buy 1 board or nail I'll read everything I can get on the subject of smokehouses!

Thanks
