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.

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.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/55036https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/55036Thu, 04 Nov 2021 20:06:48 GMTWow, 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!

With concrete its expansion that is trapped… Things that go boom when you don’t want them to go boom. (old Artillery saying, sub bang for Infantry)
