My goodness this is awesome. Amazing job from start to finish. ♥️
Nice set up. However, you needed to add a floor drain... All the drippings (especially during hot smoking) will accumulate on your slab and get nasty over time. A floor drain (with plug during smoking) would have allowed you to pressure wash the pit out.
shower pan for the drain hole would work
Also just put several drip pans. Save the fat drippings from them pigs! In the Oregon trail days, they stored their meat in lard/fat drippings in glass jars! Will last for years. In a cool place.
Growing up we built our smoke houses from block and stone. the structure was all concrete blocks then lined the inside with creek stones, and the outside with cut creek stones to look pretty. our deer camps we just used blocks no concrete or mortar so we could take it down when we went home. I grew up in the mountains so we relied on a smoke house. smoke is by far easier to preserve meat than a cooler when at deer camp. we could cold smoke our meat in camp for weeks, and wood is everywhere. a cooler we would have had to go 60 miles for ice, at which point might as well go home. for us we went to deer camp for the whole deer season. we hunted from thanksgiving day till I had to go back to school in January. they won't let kids do that these days. if we tagged out we still stayed to help others tag out. we had tracking dogs also, so we helped people recover their deer also. we always had deer and turkey tags, so we hunted both as well as hogs. back then there was also a bear season and dad would usually have a bear tag too. we got all of our meat for the year during that time. I always had bird tags too, so we got that during that time. it saddens me other people will never have those kinds of memories anymore.
I grew up on a farm in the 60's and we had a 10 '× 12' smoke house . Over several decades I have smoked in about everything , barrels , weber grill, plywood box throwed together , and even a hollow log about 4 ft long. Go find you a oldtimer that knows what is going on , eat well but eat safe. God Bless
The old style board n lap is perfect. I am 75 years old and I built a off-road trailer using the same technique. Wish I could send you a picture. Be proud of the job you done. Good, it will last well past your great grandchildren.
My smoke house was built before my grandfather bought this house in 1936. Its just a cold smoker. There is nothing piped. They used flagstone to channel the smoke. Looks like a sidewalk to nowhere. I have reworked the flagstone twice in my lifetime. First in 73 74 and 2 year's ago. I love the conversation with the neighbors and sharing it with them. Have fun. Great video
That’s awesome!! The old smoke houses like that really intrigue me. Thanks for watching!
I LOVE IT! You may really need that smoke house with the way things are going! Don't tell no one where you live and tell the people that know ya, IT BROKE!! Well, I don't mean lyrics, but if you ain't got no wood, it's broke. Just don't tell them you need wood! Put a lock and motion detector on it too! I'm serious!
Very nice , ya might want to add a piece of gutter so the water doesn't run off the roof and o. To you and the cold fire box when it's raining.
Great idea!
Cold smoke works tons better when you baffle it upward and then down again against a wall so it cools and gently spreads. Perfect at 75 to 90f.
Thank you sir for your video. It was an inspiration. I miss having smoked fish and cheeses, they sound mouth watering. I'm from Michigan originally but I've been in San Antonio, TX since 2006. God bless you and your family.
You can be proud of that. Nice job
What a fun little project. You did some things that I learned too. Always good to learn something new. I may take this one on. Super thanks for the video.
Thank you very much! Good luck on your project!
That’s a sweet smokehouse for both hot and cold smoke!!! I look forward to seeing what you smoke and lessons learned. Thanks for sharing!
You could also insulate walls with rockwool so the temperature would not flactuate in hot summer and cold winter.
Also some kind of drip tray on the bottom to acumulate dripping fat!
I have also installed a smoke filterto remove tar from smoke.
What a great project!
Run your fastners thru the raised ribs on roof tin panels. The fastners will not catch leaves and cause a dam. Trash buildup on a roof will hold moisture and begin to rot leading to the tin rusting sooner than expected. By running your fastners thru the ribs on roof panels you are less likely to have any leaks.
If you want to cook like Boston butts or anything and you need more heat . We added a turkey fryer gas burner and drilled a hole for the gas line put the gas 20lb cylinder on the outside. We put a old cast iron skillet on the burner and put wood in the the skillet. It will smolder the wood and create smoke and the burner heats up the smokehouse like a stove. We adjust the burner with the regulator to get desired temperature inside. We could run at 180 to 250 degrees. Just an Idea if you need more heat for cooking. We run the outside hot smoker at the same time. At 180 we can smoke a batch of link sausage in 7 hrs.
Do you have any pics of that setup? Sounds pretty cool!
@@christian4ever672 yes but don't know how to post them on UA-cam.
Very nice build. Since you don’t have a drain system, you can build a small pan to go on the floor to catch grease drippings and add some sand to it to absorb some of the moisture. Dump it out or use a shop vac when necessary or it’ll get a little smelly inside after something like a long brisket cook.
Nice. I would have put the smoke pipe on the barrel at the opposite end from the door to get a better draft through the fire barrel, better combustion in the barrel. Leads to better smoking in BBQ pits.
I came on here to say the same thing.
👍🏻👍🏻😊
The only thing I would add is an insulated 'through the wall' kit for the hot box application. Just in case.
Kudos. Well done.
Great project. I agree that you may have a drainage issue and if you want to do whole animals plus, you may want to make it 3' or more taller. Makes my mouth water just looking at it. In some areas, they suggest putting a lock on the door.
First time visit to your channel. I’m impressed, great work! A couple things…
Looks like you’re gonna get wet if you ever cold smoke in the rain. That box is just under the downslope.
For a few extra bucks I’d have made it a couple feet taller and put a small overhang off the side to run my smoke boxes. You could do wood storage off the back and have another small BBQ and sitting area off the side. I like to sit outside when I’m cooking/smoking. Just personal preference.
All in all, great build! Kudos!
NIce job young man. Keep up the good work. Thanks for filming and posting.
Excellent video thank you so much
With the cold smoking method you have to really watch that you don't produce as much heat as you only need smoke for the most part. You can have enough heat to help evaporate moisture as much as possible. I like to use a blower fan inside the smoker to help my temperature to stay even as best as I can.
That is awesome! Only two things I would do different. Bend a little piece of metal and stand it over your cold smoke hole in the floor so no drippings would go down it and second, I would have built it at my house. Job well done!!
My 1st video of yours. Was interested in the Smokehouse build. I Just SUBSCRIBED! NOW TEACH ME! ❤❤🤣🤣😎
Gorgeous. A couple of sheet pans, on your floor will catch the drippings. You won't have to worry about grease buildup in your floor drain.👍🏼
Wow, great job!
That's the best smokehouse design i've seen
Cold smoke is great for smoking deer hides. Nice smokehouse!
Nice build man
Great job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ir you put logs directly on the ground you should burn them where it contacts the ground. The burned outer layer will keep the moisture out and they won't rot.
Im not sure if anhone has mentioned it yet - sorry not reading all 200ish comments lol....
One thing you can do to extend the life of your burn barrel would be to season it - think seasoning like cast iron. Anytime after you've got the paint burn off of it completely completely feel free to start coding it with some rendered down fat or anything you would use to season cast iron - even some cooking oil.
Hth
I didn’t know this. Thank you
It's not going to make the barrel last forever or anything but it's not going to hurt it and it can only protect it from some of the outdoor weathering it's going to take even though you've got it covered. Every little bit helps and all that :-)
And once you get it seasoned up pretty well it shouldn't be hard to maintain it, especially considering that you're not really running that Barrel super red hot or anything like that like you would a trash barrel or a barrel stove used to heat a workshop or something of that nature
when you poured around the door of your cold smoke box you should have used a sawzall without a blade and put it against the form to vibrate the concrete in tighter around the door. it makes dinser concrete that won't chip over time. you should have put hog wire in the concrete to to reenforce it. if you line it with fire brick it will last forever also.
That's an impressive smoker build! Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
My cold smoke house had a 6” pipe, when I was smoking a strong wind caused the fire to get really hot and it started my smoke house on fire!
I had the same exact thing happen.
I worked so hard on that thing and it came out beautiful. The door closed like an old Cadillac.
I even had tile floor on the bottom.
I got exactly 2 smokes out of it.
Poof….. gone with one really windy day.
@@merrywissemes in version 2.0 I installed a damper in the fire pit so I could close that path when not smoking, or restrict flow when it’s windy
On the cold smoke fire box? Did u use regular Portland cement? I be worried the cement would pop/explode if it gets really hot!!
Shouldn't you put the pipe there a ton plate instead of putting your boards against it. Looks like a fire Hazzard. Good job on the rest.
That`s a beautiful smoke house!!
Well done!
Awesome and it's settin in the perfect spot
Grew up with a smoke house that was a 12x14 building and it got pretty small most of the time!
Excellent smoke house
Man, this is cool. Thanks for sharing all this.
Awesome very simplistic yet appears to be so very functional
Thank you
God Bless

Great job. Thank you.
Awesome 👏🏻 awesome 👏🏻
That came out amazing nice job good luck with the smoking, cant wait to see some smoked meat.
Excellent build! May your smokes be Blessed! 😊
Great job.
Awesome job. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to build my own.
Hey, from the barrel to the smoke house (not the cold smoke line) did you use a double walled pipe? That short distance and that bend, I can only imagine that pipe will get hot.
Really enjoyed your video
That is bad ass!!!
Great job, nice smokehouse. We always used old freezers when I was a kid (we smoked a lot of mullet) I've been seeing a lot of them homemade ones lately..... Making me think.... I might be building one. Great job
I would put some kind of rain cap on that cold smoke pipe. You don’t want any juices from meats going in it.
Great video, wanted to build one of these for a while
That was interesting
Awesome job!!!!!!!! you should be proud.
Very cool project!
Awesome job!
Awesome dude. Love it
Nice build!👍
I've had mine for 2 years now and I love it
That's awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
Looks a little better than the one I built 45 years ago for my father! This is more modern.
Good, Thx. Nice work, looking forward to more
Camt wait to see this being used. Maybe its already here, i havent been to this channel till now.
Very cool!!
Great job it looks amazing
Great video thanks you
You did a good job laying the blocks and the concrete slab.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
Very nice setup
Nice job!
awesome job
Well done 👍 You really made this project accessible; we tend to overthink things, but you made it look easy. I could tell that you put thought into things and the results look fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching. Appreciate it!
Nice, looks like a Tim Farmer and Danny and Wanda box. I want one just like this one. Great job!
Thank you!!!
Very nice so when can I use it,, you said it was ours lol great job bud
Nice job, man. Update on how hot you can get it when hot smoking, whenever you get a chance. Looks really good.
Where did you get the stove doors from
Even though the interior is sealed, you also seal even all the small exterior penetrations like the channeling in the roof material, or you will get all kinds of nesting bugs and critters. Expanding foam spray works well. Wasps ants and gnawing will be especially pesky and attracted to this structure
Very cool!
simply awesome thank you for sharing
Awesome build,brother!!!!!
Ill tell ya buddy... this to me, is one of the nicest ones i have see .... regarding what i would build for me. I love the logs you did for the poles on the roof end. That was a nice touch. Beautiful craftsmanship buddy!❤
Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words.
Excellent build...
Well done
Super job !! Very professional overall design, fit and finish. 👍
This is very nice
Nice, would have made whole thing taller so you don't have to be bent over when tending barrel stove and loading smoker.
Looks good. Believe I would have had eves overhang my sides and front. Make that rough cut lumber last a lot longer. Just me. Time to hang some sausage
Impressive
Done well cheers from australia
Nice work , beautiful job
