Step 8 – Build Your Smokehouse!

To build your cedar smokehouse, you’re going to want to watch Video 4 below.  Also, DIYer Nick has some incredibly awesome photos of his project here. The two smokehouses featured in this post look the same on the outside, but a little different on the inside!  Nick’s project is super designed for hanging meats.  In his photos below, see how he has cut his side boards with half rounds to be able to insert rods for hanging meat:

Here is what it looks like once the sides of the smokehouse are built.

And here it is with the meat hanging from the rods!

As a DIYer, you can always put your own spin on your smokehouse, but you’re going to want to learn how to build a port for the smoke to come out of the top of the smokehouse and a stack house to go over the port. You’ll also want to learn how to build your roof, the partition for your wood, the front door, and about adding temperature gauges, which can all be seen in Tim Farmer’s video collection below, starring John Aker, Craftsman Extroardinaire.  Tim of Tim Farmers Country Kitchen visits with John as he shares his Smokehouse tutorial.
