    wood fired - plywood smoke house?

    I have been looking at a lot of the other smoke houses in this forum. I see that most use gas and dont insulate the smoke house and this goes against my original design idea of an electric smoke house. So if the smoke house is not insulated does I assume it breaths more which is good for...
