That smoker looks a lot like the one my hubby built a few years back...kinda like a outhouse? :chuckle: I've always wanted to paint half moon on the front of ours.

You might want to put a few pieces of that cheese into the back of the frig and age it a few months.
We do smoked cheese for gifts at Christmas.....it is aged from 8 to 12 months...it gets so much better when you let the flavors all meld.

Anyway, the smoker looks good and soon it will be black and smell wonderful!!

Bacon has cured and just made it to the smoker.  At the top of the bacon it's sitting at 113 degrees and the bottom 118.  Will hold this for an hour, then up to the mid 130s and so on.

You have no idea how hard it is to not open that door and cut a piece off!

I am absolutely amazed at how well this build regulates and distributes the heat between different elevations.  Right now the probes have a roughly 16" difference and the temps are only 3 degrees different when I took the picture, as I am typing it's a 2 degree difference. 
Also, the wind started to scare me last weekend and then I saw 40 mph winds forecasted for yesterday so I added wind protection.  Yesterday at work I was wondering how it all held up in the 40 mph wind with gust well above.  When I got home, all was well.

Can you fill up a section of block with concrete and drop a cement anchor through the bottom plate?  That should hold the front down.

I could but in the 6 years I've been here we've never received a 20 plus mile per hour East wind. The door is facing straight East. Our stupid crazy winds are always West and South. Now that I said that tomorrow will be a hurricane from the east.

It is a very nice smoker. As long as the fence would hold it up, I doubt it would tip over. Nice work on the outside and the work on the inside looks darn tastey.
