Home built smokehouses
-
Who has built their own smokehouse? This is one my grandson and I built last summer. I have mostly done Canadian bacon, belly bacon, and country hams. It is a great cold smoker, but will get hot enough for the Canadian bacon.

daryl Here is the one my father in law and I built last year
Brian Schneider that thing looks awesome

Wow, that is amazing. I have always wanted to do one very similar to that. What lumber did you use? It looks a little like Cedar in the photo, but hard to say for certain sometimes. I like the idea of the roof extension for keeping the wood a little out of the weather. Very Nice!

daryl Our hunting group is still using the one our fathers built about 50 years ago, still going strong.

Our chicken house is the old smoke house from a little over 100 years ago. I sometimes wonder if I should clean it up & convert it back to the smoke house. It would be an awfully big smoke house though as they were doing some serious, long hanging, meat smoking back then.

calldoctoday I’m not sure what kind of wood the siding is. It was repurposed from an old chicken coop

daryl That smoke house looks pretty good. Does it have racks for jerky and the like? Here is a pic of mine. It was built many, many years ago. The inside walls are WELL seasoned. I just love the smell inside. It’s been on my property the entire 30-some years I’ve lived here, and it looked the same when we moved in. I just started using it about a month ago. I’ve done two rounds of jerky in it so far. Smoking two turkeys tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes.
Jonesy Looks like it has many years left in it, you are lucky whoever built it did it right.

Brian Schneider Sounds like you did the reverse & may be a little smarter than I am. Really nice job & great job repurposing that chicken house lumber.
