Question about bigger smoke house

[john duncan]

This is a pic of the stove I plan to use for the smoke house we are building. Would it be big enough for the smoker which is 8Wx6Dx7H?

Maybe, possibly, but not sure.  Hard to tell what size the pit is.  What temps do you want to run?  Also, will the smokehouse be insulated, where is it located etc...

A smokehouse that size is gonna hold a lot of meat!

I hadn't thought about insulation. I figured packing things in salt during the process would keep them from freezing. Also it isn't the firepit I will be using for smoke it is the little military stove to the right. Originally I wanted to make something a few x a few feet. The big building was my father in laws idea. Never done any of this before. Pretty much wanted to learn to smoke and tan leather while I went. Trial and error.
