I am running on propane and I am short of room so I cheated a bit. Maybe not a fire pit as much as a smoke/heat source. I have a bit of a dip that runs in front of the shed and smokehouse to drain rain off the yard (it slopes quite a bit toward the shed and smokehouse) What I am using is an old portable RV BBQ that I cut up the lid and modified to attach my pipe to, set in the bottom of that dip.That is just for cold smoking. To hot smoke, I just take the lid off and set it in the bottom of the smokehouse and run the regulator from outside.I have 3 regulators drilled out differently. The smokehouse is fully insulated so no problem getting it hot and keeping it steady. Actually had trouble keeping it cool because it was such a mild day. I need some more ventilation.I have nothing on the high side (right side in pic.) except lifting the roof a bit.(it is removeable) Taking care of that tomorrow so I can get some cross venting. I can take off the roof and cover it with an un-insulated piece of plywood as well if need be and add a vent there. I will have to do that for all cold smoking I do in the future if the weather is mild.Got a way to go to get it the way I need it, but so far so good.
