New DIY Cold Smoker/Smoking Cabinet REVEAL! 

You did a great job. If you don't mind me saying.... I would put 2 pavers in the bottom on the wood and put a large steel catchpan, like a big cake pan on top of the pavers , then put the smoker tube inside of the pan. Just last month, I used the smaller tubes like yours from Kingsford while cold smoking a fresh catch of fish, came back to check on it an hour later to find the tube in flames and my temps out of control. I was using slightly moistened kingsford pellets as it said to do in the instructions. This strangely happened on a somewhat colder than normal day which was in the high 20's/low 30's.. I figure I might offer this info that will certainly save your smoker and probably home too as this could cause an inferno while using in wood. This flare up could happen with anybody's smoker. Good luck and thanks for sharing. You did a wonderful job!

Simply perfect! Nice work.

Thanks! So far the best build I've seen.

Perfectly simple, well done!

That is very nice, and you done a beautiful job on building it .

Congratulatios. Excellent job.

Awesome job. Thanks for sharing

Awesome , thanks for sharing .I find this very interesting.... Keep on smoking V.

Very cool! Add a smokemiester smoke generator to the cabinet and your good to go! Smart gal.

Nice design. I would recommend raising that smoke tube off the bottom a bit more because that foil won't keep the bottom of the cabinet from reaching near ignition temperature. Maybe set it on a rack or something.

Damn V! Way to go girl!!

Add some caster wheels , then you could wheel it around

Sweet, so simple!

Excellent video. gathered some good ideas from your design! I know you will tweak the smoker as you use it a few times. Let it evolve as you discover ways to improve the smoke generator, etc.

Nice build . Thanks for sharing. Cld you show the vents again I cld see for the glare off that ring lol

Thanks this is a really nice design!

Excellent job

great job looks amazing

Great job

Super nice build and video

Very Cool , well done

I'm going to copy your design this looks perfect for what I need

Does it get really hot if you do not put a pan with ice? What size holes did you drill for the bottom part where smoke is going up?

neat cheese smoker!

That's prity slik I love it great job

Very nice love , like the idea of the cookie racks 👌. One thing I'll do is maybe using ceramic tiles for the smoke tube area.

Nice.. very creative.. Cute

Good job

You did good I like that myself.

Thanks

Have any plans or dimensions for this cabinet? Great simple design that I would like to build myself.

Where did you find the racks?

Impressive! I like it a lot!! Nice and simple...clean looking... lots of rack space!! I like the latches!! Where did you get them? What did you use for the door seal?

Cabinet Measurements *the following is all ½" plywood* Door - 20½"×48" Back - 20½"×48" Sides - 11½"×48" Top - 12¾"×21½" Bottom - 11½x17½ *these measurements are for 2x4s* 4 pcs @ 60" 6 pcs @ 4⅝" *these measurements are for 1x2s* 16 pcs @ 11" You'll need: (8) 10"×16" cooling racks for inside the cabinet (2) latches to seal the door shut (3) hinges Some weather stripping to go around the door to make it sealed The things I would change now that I've used it for quite some time now is: - build it out of cedar - build wider feet so its more stable - I've had trouble with the intake and exhaust since the wood shifted and bent a little, so they don't open and close to easily. I would just drill a small intake hole and a larger one for the exhaust at the top and build a little peaked roof so if it rains, water won't enter the inside of the cabinet - remove the deflector plate, it's not really serving any purpose, just leave a 18"-22" gap between your first shelf and the bottom

Cool. Going to build this. Funny that in the beginning of the clip the door is right side hinged, and than its left side hinged :D

Best DIY cold smoker I've seen. Where did you buy those racks? Do you have a link? I am in Canada too.

Yes Everyone needs more people like you. Corporations are killing us. And we have forgotten thousands of years of history.

After spending 2 months on RU-vid looking for a Cold smoker and Bingo just what I was looking for Question how long to smoke Bacon and till what temp ? Thanks a lot for posting this

Where did you get the racks? I have been searching allover for them.

Excellent👌👌👌👌💯💯💯💯💯

Will the smokiness be consistent for the top and bottom racks?

hello i am trying to make in my house. can u tell me right size of chamber?

I'd love to build a mini version of this, maybe 4 racks. Do you have an idea on measurements?

That doesn’t seem that it’s gonna last too long, just because the nature of the material being exposed to the elements but it’s cute and well done

You could also cold smoke bacon in it!

Great video! Have you had any issues with temp in your chamber using the A-Maze-N tube? If so, do you think it is primarily the deflector that helps regulate the temp? I smoked cheese this weekend and had issues with keeping the temp below 90F. Thanks!

Thanks for the video! What was the overall cost of the smoker? Subscribed for future videos of you using the smoker!

nice build but I'd be really worried about the glues in plywood since they leach the glue chemical

Can your smoker reach 140 degrees with the tube smoker?

👍

Where did you get your racks?

Do you have a build video?

Big Lot's have the racks.

I wouldn’t be using plywood. The glue used to make plywood may be carcinogenic. Best use solid timber.

Looks good but I do not like the plywood, to many glues and chemicals for me. Also you need to take some better precautions for a fire situation. I have the luxury of large amounts of space and ability in my world though. I have a cold or hot smoke house built on a metal skid. It is a concrete base with a with a oak and maple cabinet.

Hi V, can we smoke sausages in it??

Plywood contains chemicals. Use untreated pine instead.

Idea

Oh, sweetie you didn't think about the chemicals used in the manufacturing of the plywood and their off-gassing. It's a very nice design, but the plywood industry uses chemicals like Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, Phenol-Formaldehyde, and Urea-Formaldehyde to glue the sheets of wood together. They off-gas all the time - no matter the temperature. Oh - no...........

In my first work I always used Woodglut plans.
