so here's a few pics... just need to make a hole for gas line and put some trim on the door
So I have 8 dowel rods...if y'all think we need more please feel free to bring some... they are 3/4 x 36"... I made the dowel racks with 1" holes so it will hold 1" dowels if that's what ya have... for now

Looks great!
Just a suggestion. When you put the trim on, use screws every 3". When I made mine I used glue and brad nails. As the door heated up it bowed inward and created leaks. I was able to solve it by adding screws to the trim into the door.

Keith, I'll bring a grinder, mixer, and stuffer if it will help.So I went and got materials last night to build the smokehouse... built the house today ... tomorrow I will cut door and vents and make dowel racks.... speaking of dowels... think I may have to take them back... they are pine and food will be in contact with them... should I get oak instead (more expensive) ? spent to much on this build alreadyLOL... sorry, haven't took the time to stop and take pictures... should be able to fire it up for a test run sometime this week... maybe the weekend....
Unfortunatly, We lost a few of the things that Dave was gonna bring since he can't make it....

I'll be bringing my seasoning box with me. I have just about everything.... I have cure #1 and mortons TQ if needed.... I'll also be bringing a hank of brat size fresh hog casings, some 22-24mm sheeps for some hot dogs and those cologens I posted earlier.....
Kieth, Do youthink the smoker is big enough..... I thought you were going to build something bigger and nicer.... When you paint the smoker make sure you use high heat paint.. We would like some yellow daisies and I want some lights installed... Pretty ones... not something cheap here..... We have to make a good impression........ lets not be skimpy............................................LMAO
I would like the lights to transition to black lights and a fold out disco ball for the late night smokes.... :)
HA HAAAA... Y'all are to funny
OK.. so I made a new pipe burner, long enough so the venturi is outside the house.... I cut 21 slits in it 1" apart... so I installed it in the house and fired it up.... WAY TO HOT on the lowest setting... so I used metal tape and covered every other slit... now only 11 slits are lit.... STILL TO HOT.. 160`+ on low...
Do I keep covering slits until the temps get down low enough ?
here's a couple of pics
gonna post this in the smokehouse section as well... see what kind of answers I get....

so I taped more slits off.. only have 6 slits burning now... it's asking for more air now (yellow tips on flame)... still 160`+.... thinking I'm just going to have to use just a pilot light... LOL
where are you doing this... in the garage where its warm and no air flow. I wouldnt cover the cuts in the burner and they should be 1 1/2 apart....we only need to drop 20 degrees.. Its ok to start out at 140.. with lower outside temps the smoker will be at 140.....and were good,,,,, dont sweat it.............
Hey Joe.. I'm not gonna leave the slits taped up... was just experimenting to see If temps would come down...
So Joe.. do we need to get smaller casings (19-20mm) for snack sticks... as I said earlier... for me I would prefer more snack sticks than anything....

Could not resist posting this.
Keith, not many in the store hear, but I will pick up about 4 packs of 19 mm collagen casings for sticks.

No, I don't think so, but it is badass.HA HAAAA Ron... I like it.. is that your next project ?...
I picked up 10 oak dowels today, so that should be plenty I think, or maybe not.
I'll order some 19mm collagen casings tonight, also bringing spices.
