Building a Cold Smoker with a Smokemiester Smoke Generator 

The boy's eyes lighting up when hearing the word "bacon" made me smile. Who does not love a smokey piece of pork belly? 😄👍

Love seeing you back to homesteading.

Wow, that's JUST what I need, and it's the Beloved Hubby who showed me this video! Heck, it looks even simple enough for **me** to make it ;-)

I'm very excited about this smoker. I've got plenty of pine lying around and building will be a breeze. Thanks for sharing.

WOW you did a really great job building that!

I have an electric and propane smoker but have wanted a wood fired smoker like you built. Nice job. Anyway, I get new pallets from work, and now have enuff longer 2x4`s in which to cut 2x2`s from and the slats on the ones that I take are wide enuff and clean. Who cares if they already have a few nail holes in them. I will buy a Smoke Meister in lieu of messing around with a char coal BBQ and pipes. That is an excellent little unit and creates more than enuff for a decent afternoon smoke. The only thing that I am going to change will be to put a little slope on the roof, more of an out house style so to speak. And make a small chimney on top to adjust the smoke ventilation. This is exactly what I was looking for plus light enuff to be portable. Again, nice job and thanks because I am using your design. I don`t make a ton of sausage at any one time and will find a couple of old oven racks to fit in so I can also do fish, a chicken, brisket and cheese. I buy my meat from a Ukrainian Butcher shop. Double smoked pork chops and bacon. I am going to try and find a used bar fridge to marinade bacon in. I`ll be all set.

I am going to make a smoke maker for my pallet grill thanks for the video. just made a diy smoke maker.

Impressive build! Looking forward to seeing how the bacon smoking goes!

Great build and that will be some great yummy bacon.🥓🥓 Have a good evening 🍁🍁🍁

Nice build!! Can’t wait to see that bacon inside

One day when I have my own place, this in the first thing I'm building :D

I don't know where you are, but in Alberta where I am, solid wood shrinks in width, sometimes as much as 3/8" in 6" width in the first year! Sometimes very dry shelf material moves less, but common and pressure treated shrink that much across the grain.

Wow nice work Dan

Looking real good. Cheers from Denmark

Thanks for the ideas! 🤗 I already have a large Ozark front loading propane cooker smoker. The propane is just getting too expensive. Living here in the desert, I figured why not use this thing at a large dehydrator because it's solid black inside and out, and with your idea put a smoke generator on the side and I should be able to smoke and dehydrate just about anything I want including jerky! It gets plenty of ventilation at the bottom around burner, two side vents and the top vent. Because it's solid black, here in the Mojave desert, the internal temp can get as high as 160 Plus. Had the smoke and the salt, bacteria hasn't got a chance. LOL I just need to figure out how to build a long slow burning smoke generator on the cheap, cuz I can't afford to Shell out $160 bucks for this one. SMH

How easy! Definitely going to steal your design 😀

Servus! Congratulations for the new smoker. The kiddo is so cool! BR, Ovidiu

Just found your channel to nice smoker👍a built sheet of how much 1x12s and 2x8 is what I’d add a list and actual building size

Great job!!

How long are you letting it initially burn for before closing the lid on the stainless steel tube

Excellent!

just purchased that smokemeister this evening. had to have a friend do the actual order bc they only do PayPal...which I don't have

Just found your channel and this video.. first off love the build, we also like the bacon cure video. Your helper(son) is funny, needs to be in more videos.. so my question is what size 12x did u start with?. New at wood working, so trying to figure out sizes.. thanks looking forward to more videos..

Like this video, Only 1 question; Can I build this cold smoker also with plywood?

What model of smokemiester do you have .I googled it but didn't see the one you have. I built a cold smoker and I love it,but I want to get the smoke generator outside the unit so I can get the temperature lower. Smoked cheese is Awesome actually almost anything smoked is good.

Smokin Hot!!!!!

Any idea what the internal temp is? This looks perfect for smoking sausages.

You do not have a floor in your cabinet it is the first one I’ve see open to the bottom have you tried using it like this and the results ? Peter

Would you recommend any sort of grease/liquid trap underneath?

It could of been easier if you use turn and groove wood 🥰

So do you have any measurements? I am a very visual person What modifications have you made? What kind of wood did you use? (Got wood tyoe) tyoe of fastners nails/screws?

could you use this build for cold smoking cured fish ?

Do you think you could put LINKS to things in your videos?

Did you make the smoker generator

can you post the specs of the cabinet??? I am looking to build a cold smoker this size.

PUT IT OUTSIDE MAN OR ARE YOU WANTING TO SET THE BARN ON FIRE ?
