Title: Another Smokehouse project
Post by: dogtuk on January 30, 2011, 08:45:04 AM: Hello Everyone

here is a link to another project for building a smokehouse this seems to be a popular style smoker and seems easy enough to build in this link it uses propane for heat but I would use electric for better temp control and I would insulate it
