Homemade Smokehouse
-
I’m not Brian, but being nosy sort will interject an answer. I have two which I bought on line (Amazon I think). I use atop my wood stove to send heat around the room. They are silent and I never worry about turning them off.
Try Googling “heat activated fan”.
Thanks for the info. I will look into these.

Snake River Smokers very nice. Mine will be very similar to that except I will be framing mine out of wood. Sheeting the bottom 3’ with sheetmetal on the inside and siding the outside with rough sawed lumber to match the rest of my out buildings.
Made some progress today.

Something you might want to consider is that with a wood smoke house you want to keep it far enough away from other buildings incase it catches on fire it does not burn down another building.

Hope for you that it never does burn down, But I have a friend who had his wood smoke house catch fire and had a heck of a time saving his SMOKED chicken and getting the fire out.

I’m not sure how stove fans work exactly, but I think they require a substantial difference in temperature between the contact point and the ambient temperature. Meaning if you put it in a room that is a constant temperature above 120 it won’t spin. The spinning is the action of it dissipating heat which it wouldn’t be able to do at a constant ambient temperature.
