Very nice looking smoke house ya got there. Fore someone that hasn't built alot of stuff you have done GREAT work.

Beautiful build and great wood working skills.

I love the look of cypress and wish I could find me a butt load of it that would not cost an arm and my left...

Well, the smokehouse has made it home!  Moved it from my Dads house this Tuesday to its new home...my backyard.  Here is a few pics of the shelves I made.  I made the dowel rods to hang sausage from as well as use for basic shelves.

And here is a pick of my 732 and the shelf I had made for it....Cant wait to fire this thing up!!!

That looks awesome. Can't wait to see some smoke.

My shelf for jerky.  I only built one since the metal racks are stackable to allow plenty of expansion.

[oldschoolbbq]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have one question, is the metal mesh for the Jerky have a Zinc coating?????

Having the meat "on" the Zinc may have an affect on the Jerkey, the heat won't get high enough , I was just worried of the Marinade juice and salts would react with the coating.

Just want to have ya safe, happy experience...

Have fun and...

I'm not familiar enough with wood types and weathering.  Will you put any type of finish or protector on the smokehouse?

Hey npellegrene

I don't know much about cypress wood but I'm guessing he out a protective coating on it. Just wanted to point out that this post is 2 years old and the poster hasn't made a post since 2012 on his account. Just FYI I wouldn't hold my breath for him to respond. But don't let that turn you off. There are a pile of active knowledgable members willing to help u out anyway they can

Afternoon...... I would use boiled/raw linseed oil on the outside and flax seed oil on the inside.... Flax seed oil is the edible version of linseed oil.... It is a "drying" oil that hardens over time.....

Some pics of a smoke I did in the past. I plan to do 100 pounds of sausage this weekend. Maybe it will look a tad but more to capacity. It swallows that 10 pounds.

I smoked it @ 150 for 3 hours and then @200 for about 45 minutes until the sausage reached 155. Any suggestions/comments are welcome
