Hello,
I have constructed a 6'x8'x8' smoke house out of native lumber. I am ready to put on oak 1x4 siding. I would like the building to be tight so I get good drawl out the top vents. I was leaning towards placing tar paper behind the siding boards and between the decking and metal roof. Would this be ok since the house will only be used for curing and cold smoking hams and bacon? Or do I risk contamination? Thank you for your assistance.
