PK 100: Indoors or out

[Menuchah Meats]

Looking at possibly getting a PK 100 in the near future. Wondering if everyone keeps their’s outside or inside and pipes the exhaust out?

Mine is outside. I bought a good cover for it.

Menuchah Meats i dont have the pk100 i have the 100SS. Either way mine is on wheels so i just roll it out of the garage to smoke.

Menuchah Meats I hope the picture uploaded I use a kitchen exhaust fan above my smokers totally inside well insulated room this helps out with maintaining temperature

genex and if that is excepted per code by your state and local regulations than all is good. I would have done it differently but nontheless looks like a nice spot to do all your processing

Looks like a sharp operation, love the artwork on the wall! Just converted my smoker to natural gas 2 years ago and built the hood this year for my 30 year old smoker. 883E81A0-3D83-4BC2-B2F7-71A5A8484D53.jpeg

twilliams this is just my smoking room there are reasons why I had to do it this way but I thought I’d just share what I did it has work for me

akdave thank you your style hood is what I wanted to build but ran out of time and ended up buying one and I do that artwork on my plasma table

[akdave]

I would have bought one but I could not find one that was deep enough for a reasonable price and I already had a fan. Some day I will permanently duct it but for the time being I just open up the window and place the flexible duct outside.

I have the FEC-100 Fast Eddy by Cookshack set up inside my metal building (garage) and cut a hole in the wall to run my exhaust out then added pipe to run the exhaust up past the roof line for better draft.
When I built the shop (2012) I added double man doors on one side so I could roll it out to use but quickly got tired of doing that.
