Thread: The big smoker build

As some of you will know i have a wine barrel which i made into a smoker
But have always wanted a big proper smoker

Well that time has come i lit it today for testing still need to build the house itself
Big thanks to my good mate Dave the builder who has donated his weekends to this free of charge





Like any house a good foundation is a must

Foof for all weather smokeing


Fire door made by the local welder which i have now painted with food safe high heat bbq paint

Smokehouse foundation and flue in with stainless bolts for attaching the smokehouse

Firebox started 24 hours to dry before laying the roof







Firebox roof done 2 weeks for everything to set properly

First fire just nice untreated pine for testing due to not having any manuka yet
Just the big smoke box to go now getting there

Mostly 2nd hand materials which we like recycled as its cheap 
