smoker
« on: November 21, 2010, 08:47:02 PM »
Well I just had to show what I did in my spare time (ha ha) when I was not hunting. I had to build me a smoker this is my third  that I have built. I built one a while back that I put an eletric burner in would not hold temp burner had a shut off in it and I was afraid to use propane in it cause it was cedar, DougeDoug took it to his uncle he got it to work (did not have pics of that one but it turned out nice too) DougeDoug gave me a bottle to build him one he seen on the site that used propane. Well it worked great. So here you go

It is made of plywood all but the door. The doors was made from what I call wafer board with the in side lined with cedar cause the plywood was warped and the door had to big of a gap. The one I made for DougeDoug was all cedar except for the bottom door and the back.
Not sure if it is the Cedar but when Doug brought over some Peperoni over that he made fro his smoker it had a better taste then mine that I made in my master built electric smoker and he can put a full 24lbs of peperoni in at one time. That's when I decided to build one of my own.

Thank you all for the complements  :hello:

Nice looking smoker, I'm in the process of building a smokehouse in the back yard but this weather slowed me down a bit. I hope to have it completed by the end of the weekend.

That looks good man. One thing that I would recommend is to not use the OSB (Oriented Strand Board) that you mention and used for your box as there are generally some pretty nasty glues that they use to put that stuff together, which, combined with moisture and heat would probably not be the best stuff to have floating around your meat. Not that I build these things, but I do know that the OSB is some nasty stuff. The cedar route seems like a great way to go in the future. Just my  :twocents:

Can't wait to see pics.

Yeh I thought about this too. The only thing that is made from the OSB is the door and that is why I lined it with cedar. The rest of the box is plywood witch I know has glue in it too but I seen one on here before that was made from plywood ( that is where I got one of my Ideas from ) I wanted to line the whole thing with cedar but I did not have enough.

After your comment about the OSB board and the glue in it you got me thinking that I better be safe then sorry so I went out and bought some cedar and lined the whole inside with it.

So here we go with more pics and how I spent Friday night and Saturday.

The starting of the messy kithen


Cut the casings in half to make a smaller log of summer sausage


I put some of the summer sauage meat into left over casings from peperoni


I had to make some of these too  :drool:


The mess in the kichen witch the wife did not mind cause the kichen was cleaner when I was done. She didn't have to do dishes.

Very cool, how long did you have them on the smoke?
And what type of wood did you use?

It took about 6.5 to 7 hours ( Like I said I kinda dried some out so I could of stopped it sooner). I used Hi Mountain seasoning and  Hickory wood chips. The test will be tonight when my daughter tastes it.

One thing I try to do is record the product, which brine used, cooking temps, time on smoke, and type of wood used. Then add a comment on how it turned out. That way I have a baseline to how I want to smoke the next batch. So far temperature seems to be the most critical.
