Good morning, my MES finally gave out and it’s time to replace it. I’ve been dreaming of building a wood smoke house for years so that’s my plan. Most smoking I do is cold smoking aside from some bacon once in a while. I’m looking for ideas, suggestions, and pictures are always great.
As it stands I’m planning on something in the 2’ square by 6 or 7 ft tall. I’m thinking a concrete pad with two or three courses of concrete block. Then build the wood structure on top. The area I have to put it is fairly level so I can really put a wood stove “down hill” from the box but I’d love to use a small, camp type wood stove as the smoke source!
Should I plan on using a propane burner as heat source when needed? Any thoughts on air intakes and chimney designs?
Let’s see any builds and let’s hear what you like about your design or what you would change. Thanks much!
