The first half of the ru-vid.comUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.
For me, the ideas in ru-vid.comUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
Great Video! Would you recommend preseasoning the interior with smoke before using it for the first time. I've never used or even seen a smoke house so I'm starting from zero.
Very helpful. Great video. Just out of curiosity do you only cold smoke with yours? Or do/can you also bring the temp up higher to cook with it? Thanks
Where's Ana White? I thought she was the star of the show. That type of stand up smoker is something I didn't know existed. I'm glad to see that the heater is a ways away from the structure to prevent any fire hazards. The fish look so delicious! I guess the tongue and groove should have gone the other direction on the roof to shed the water better, but I'm sure it doesn't really matter.
+Heavyboxes Hi there! Thanks for watching! This was a project my husband was really excited about, so he took the lead on this one. We will be adding tin to the roof soon. We did the tongue and groove this direction because it was a shorter span and didn't have to add in rafters this way. Thanks again! Ana
nice set up, what would be the best wood to use for the siding and the frame? would it be alright to use cedar? how do you regulate the internal temp to keep it constant? sorry for all the questions I'm new to smokehouses and really like yours.
Best video how to make smokehouse I've seen so far. I'm new to smoking as well. It would be great if could show us your smoke generator in some video. Thank you.
Nice build! I noticed in the 3D animated video you recommend plywood but I would think that would make your smoker rather toxic. In your build you do use tongue and groove pine so the better choice. I love you website and video's but just thought to point that out.
I know this is 4 years old, but yeah, agree. Build it out of materials that don't give off toxins when heated. I'd stick to hardwoods or food safe metals. If you wouldn't make a pipe out of it, don't make a smoker out of it.
Love your website:-) I built many projects from your awesome plans as gifts. And now I found your videos. You've been my inspiration and got me going with my wood working projects. Thank you for sharing, and one of these days, when i get braver:-) , I may post a project of mine on your braging page. Many thanks from Boston!!
Great job on this!! I was contemplating building one without an external wood stove simply for aesthetic reasons although it seems like its easier to the fire when its outside rather than inside?? Very nice job!!
I know this video is super old… I live in AK too and am wondering what you use for wood to smoke? Seems like most of the native trees around here won’t be any good for smoking meat and I don’t wanna buy 50lbs of wood to smoke summer sausage or salmon.
Is that stainless pipe or galvanized? I’d be worried for getting sick from the galvanizing burning off. I’ve been sick from breathing in smoke while welding a galvanized plate and hole crap did I feel like I was gonna die.
this may be a dumb questing but would using plywood be safe ? again i know this maybe be a dumb question but i know nothing and i would just like a explanation
Hi, I know lots of smokehouses are made from plywood, and we are using ours as more of a cold smoke over longer smoking times, so for our purposes, can't see an issue. But perhaps if you are hot smoking and the plywood has alot of chemicals it could affect your food.
Hi, great video!! I was just wondering why did you not use varnish on the lumber. Is it okay for the wood to be exposed like that to the weather (especially Alaskan cold and snow!!) ? Where I live, snow wouldn't be a problem, but we do have a lot of rain that always ends up rotting the wood. Or does the smoke itself "cure" the lumber? I was also wondering if the varnish combined with the high heat could contaminate the food with toxins, and that was the reason why you didn't use it! Once again, thank you for the video and keep up the good work! Greetings from Portugal :)
Great Video! One question, I see you are using wood that interlocks. What is that kind of lumber called? And do you buy it like that, or do it yourself? Thanks for the video!
Awesome video, we live in Michigan 2 miles from Lake MI a lot of salmon and everything else.. how many days you smoke for and whats your temp usually at?? Have you tried smoking other meats in it yet.. I'm definitely going to build one of these.. Thanks for sharing
Not dumb at all. You really don't want the heat it would create in your smokehouse. The idea is to produce cool smoke. Cool...sweet....smoke. Only way is to distance the fire from the hanging meat.
Hey quick question : whats the temp inside and how long would fish need to stay inside ? Really wanting to cold smoke here in germany but sadly we only own a hot smoker so far
Didn't have a thermometer, but with that being said I could touch the stack of stove pretty much all the time. It was more of a cold smoke. I smoked and dried this batch of fish for 5-7 days. They came out great. Thanks for watching
@@AnaWhiteDIYafter 5 month I will finally do this project, will be using T11 siding, any advice on how long the nails/screws should use for t11? Having in mind the thickness of the 2x4 is 1 1/2, I don’t want the screws or nails piping out the wood.
sorry to bother you with such a stupid question but since I know nothing about smokehouses--do you have to worry about bugs or flies or other pesky insects? I heard you say you leave the meat in there for a couple of days or so and I assume the smokehouse is not without gaps etc so I just wondered if this is a problem?? Thank you for your videos, they are always very enjoyable Tim
Great job, nice smoke house. Smoked Alaskan salmon...Yum! Mix it up with some cream cheese, dip your favorite chips while sipping on a cold one......Opps....how do you get drool off a keyboard?
Be careful using galvanized pipe on the wood stove. Depending on how hot the stack temperature gets, it could vaporize the coating and contaminate all of that nice salmon. Black stove pipe would be a safer choice. Dan
Galvanized metal is poisonous. I knew the dangers of that before I could even weld. Which was a young age. Shack looked neat though. I mean for seconds lumber. Fish get any less fishy tasting in a smoke house?
