Smoker plans
I have yet to build a smokehouse but I have in mind to use 3/4 inch plywood and cut 4- 2 feet by 4 feet panels. Hinge one and fasten the others with screws. Set it on a raised base and provide a vented cover. Supply smoke from an external fire. just have to figure out how to not set it on fire.

Eureka! I think I've got it!
Look at the picture again. Photobucket has cut all your tomatoes and eggs in half!

Stop embarrasing me!
I knew that this new technology was cutting edge but had no idea that it would prepare food. Now I can avoid the drudgery of cutting this stuff up, simply use Photobucket and put it in the smoker? Should I put the photo in too? I'm confused.

Welcome Ross and good luck with your project. I am not an authority but would recommend a smaller metalized smoker for a first go. One of the big concerns about plywood is the plastic that is used to laminate it. Should that leech into your smoke it could potentially contaminate the food, even lethally. If you wish to continue, please buy an industrial sized fire extinguisher first.ssorllih wrote:I have yet to build a smokehouse but I have in mind to use 3/4 inch plywood and cut 4- 2 feet by 4 feet panels.

There are many smoke generators out there which could be attached to your concept but they would have to be insulated against the inevitable heat generation. Another solution would be to extend a 4" - 6" pipe from the smoke source to the plywood box. This would provide a cold smoking environment but I still have concerns about the possible chemical contamination.
Cheers!

Hi ssorllih,
Before you lay out any bucks, why not read Stan Marianski`s book "Meat Smoking And Smokehouse Design" (available at Bookmagic.com). This book is jam packed full of ideas and information. To get an idea of the material in his book, click on Wedlinydomowe.com then look in the upper right for smokehouse plans.
The link for the firebox itself is:

PS... having some computer issues... or I would fire-up the link for you.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
