I know I should be focusing my thoughts on tapping, but when I woke up to -8* this March 3, I figured I have some time to work on planning a different project.
I have intentions to construct a smokehouse this spring/summer about the size of a one hole outhouse. From what I am reading I believe I am looking to primarily do "cold smoking" of meats, cheeses, etc.
I have looked about on line at various builds and thought I would come here also as many of you/us are DIY folks, that can make a lot of stuff work.
What do you have? How do you use it? And my favorite, IF you did it all over again, what would you do different?
Pictures?
My intended desgin is a concrete base, with fieldstone up a ways. (dependant on my energy level) then rough sawn wood above. This would be fed from a remote heat scource probably a reclaimed LP tank then metal or clay pipe to the center of the concrete floor. Acording to the property aesthetics manager, it MUST match the Sugar Shack. (see photo)
Thanks for the replies!
