was thinking such a complicated way to make such a simple device but then realized it's for COLD smoking...compliments!and thanks!!
My old man built his own smokehouses back in the '60' s. We would smoke the suckers and carp from the creek next to our house. Yes, poor hillbillies. Best fish I ever had.
Just love the high class safety footwear!
Australian Safety Footwear :D
Good job! I built the same sistem but much simpler, a hole in the ground, a little covered ditch and the wooden case for smoking meat, works the same but a much much easier job.
Awesome 👌
Well done.
Thanks so much
Thank you for sharing your project !
i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Bobby Elon instablaster ;)
@Jared Robert Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Jared Robert It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out!
@Bobby Elon Happy to help :D
Wish people wouldn’t add music to videos
Thanks! Might make something similar to this as my spring project next year!
Bravo , good job , and product, outstanding ideas about everything...well done buddy! best regards from CANADA . 👍🍷🍸💕👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank You ❤
Interesting!
I know this video is 5 years old. But youtube has always been a video site. Slideshows are nice for a website. I really feel like that's why this video got alot of down votes. Great info in the video none the less. But not what most people expect on TH-cam. EIther way, stay safe during these times of struggle
Nice shepherd! 😉🇨🇦🐾
muy bueno mas limpio imposible ah muy bueno si y el fondo musical genial
I liked the brick set up for channeling smoke but mabye will try under ground like your suppose to do leading up to the smoke house.
Nice build. I have a slopping site. if I built the firebox down slope it might heat better? !
I really thought he was building a cold smoke house but he may have stumbled onto a great idea as to have a cold smoker and a hot smoker by just blocking off the upper or lower flue
That was cool
nice I'm about to build something similar
+glina miki Have fun building it and enjoy the end product!
If anyone wants to build one look for a book called foxfire it’s a book about doing things the old fashion way they used clay tile pipes and placed the smoke house on the top of a slope with the fire box on the downside of a hill you could do a half of a cow in it.
I salute innovation
Was wondering if instead of the long cinder block vent couldn't you have used some hydro conduit instead?
d video owas awesum..lot to learn...but hey id appreciate if u can tell me the back ground sound of this video...nice music...
I really enjoyed the video. After doing this I have one question. What would you do differently if you were to do it again? I like how elegant and robust your design is and I would love to learn from your experience and mistakes.
The fire place could be smaller if you just use it as a smokehouse. You could build it half the size and one brick lower then but we use it as a BBQ as well so happy with the design so far. The smokehouse is working very well and we are happy with the fire place as a wood fired BBQ as well. Cheers
Thanks for getting back to me.

You don’t think the concrete channel was unnecessary when you could have just used a pipe? Hm
Just seems like an obvious one that you won’t seem to address
Cool music
i could tell when they were setting the channel it was not going to have good transfer but at least it was an easy fix
I saw it too, in fact I used a pipe, it was much easier and I covered the pipe with sand. SR
I couldn't see how they missed it? It kills me when ppl make videos to educate others on subject they clearly haven't mastered. Lol
Sorry but that music sucked looping over & over !!. But you did an amazing job on your smoker (very cool)!!.
All the Beautiful work making this, why did you put a Hillbilly roof on it. I dont understand the concrete smoke channel ???
How do you know how long to make the pipe between the firebox and the smokehouse?
Nice dog.
Nice smoker dude
Good video. I was thinking your smoke channel was too low at first. But in the end you got there. Well done.
Nice work!
What is the cost to build it? When you build something by yourself and at the end it works as you want all other things don't matter!
Ciao from Italy
Thanks for sharing 👍
When I was a child I asked Dad why they called an old unused building a smokehouse.He explained it was for the storage of cured hams with smoke to keep flies off in days before refrigeration.
Could you possibly do a video on how it works. I liked this video but I've no idea how it works. Also, would if be possible to convert an old wardrobe into a smokehouse?
Hi, you can see the sneak peek of how it works here. Cheers th-cam.com/video/Lq5uJEyNebg/w-d-xo.html
Depends what the old wardrobe is made of. I wouldn't recommend it if its made of painted or treated wood.
Nice
Very nice. Do you have a manual or design on paper?
Thank you :) Yes, please check my blog www.countrycookery.net You will find more details including the measurements and drawing there.
an upward slant increases air flow
omg it really working

I love your design! How long is your smoke channel and what kind of temperatures are you getting in your smokehouse? What do you cover your firebox with (I didn't notice in the video). Also curious how you attached the wooden section to the bricks on the smokehouse.
+WhirldWorks Thank you :) I will upload a video with the details and answer your questions within the next few days. Cheers
+WhirldWorks you can see the cover of the firebox here :) th-cam.com/video/Lq5uJEyNebg/w-d-xo.html
The channel is 3 meters long. The wooden section has been attached with long bolts but you can also use metal straps from a hardware shop.

Great Vid even GREATER Music
It looks beutiful good idea about bricks with holes. Just one question when cement in going to expierence heat? What about like poison or toxic material? Are they not gonna idk appear? Or make problem? Sorry again if its a stupid question
Thank you. No problem with that as we have burned it out with high temperature right at the beginning. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment
Great video and easy to follow

Music is great miscalculations happen now the lesson has been passed on
HI there, nice vid. How long is the meat good for when smoked like this?
Thanks Mat, you can keep it in the fridge fro up to 3 months if you vacuum seal it.
Can you control the amount of smoke reaching the meat?
This is awesoe, wish i had the room for a big one like this
Not actually a video but a slideshow of images. Not too bad if you mute the volume.
not sure if it's even worth mentioning. Turn down the volume and increase the speed to give yourself the illusion its a movie.
I hate slide shows. It didn't teach me anything about building a smoke house.
How long did those bricks last with the fire?
What kind of wood you use to build it?
ok guys, for everyone who was asking about how to prepare the meat for smoking: www.permaculturehaven.com/intro/slow-smoking-smokehouse-dimensions/ with a video and lots of photos like all my recipes! Enjoy :) And here just the video: th-cam.com/video/yKmRsoJGxng/w-d-xo.html

I wonder does it work in the winter or in cold areas also.
Sure it does!
What kind wood do you use for make the fire smoke?
+aguimars We mostly use Ironbark timber only because we got lots of it on our property. Gumtree is good as well. The timber from fruit trees is apparently the best, but very hard to get. I would say depends where you live, there must be some good local timber you can use. Just NEVER, NEVER use timber from any needle trees!
+Ewa Bekiesch Hi there, tank you for answer me, yes the timber are different every part of world, I live in southern Brazil at the beach, and just wanna smoke some fisches such get a delicious taste, I most try wity orange or tangerine timber :) By the way thank you once again
hello, what is the size of the bricks? thanks
I build channel a bit high.or even with top, on fire, then give it a slight upward tilt towards the area meat will be hanging, to work with smokes natural ability to rise. Low air intake at fire, high outlet, side ..above meat. It's just the way I make it. Thank you for your share,
Sounds great!
how long will deer meat ladt after smoking. do you have to keep in refrigerator . ??
I been cold smoking meat for a while now, am a hunter and have done deer back strap. After the kill i hang the meat 7-14 days in a cold (under 8 degrees Celsius) area (must be fly proof). I use a large old fridge when its to hot outside but i got a box with fly net to hang them outside in cold months. This is done to all meat, even store brought meat is hung for a period of time. In fact some of the top steak cuts are hung for 30 days. Trim the meat very well take off as much fat and ceniue as you can as it becomes very unpleasant when dry.
As for smoking i do close to what this bloke does, Salt and garlic heavily for 5 days, wash the salt off and let its dry for a day in the fridge preferably hung. I smoke for 3 days light the fire at night and let smoke till next night (smoke last for about 5-8 hours. I use cherry to smoke as i get it for free from my uncle. After its been smoke i let the meat air dry this take about 1-2 months depending on how you like it, how big the piece of meat is, temperature, wind etc. I dry it in the fly net box that's placed somewhere open that gets a bit of wind. (MUST BE FLY PROOF) Keep checking the meat after 3 weeks and see how you like it. The more it drys the hard it gets. Once you happy cut it up into smaller pieces and vacuum seal it as if left in the fridge it will keep drying to the point it a rock. Key thing to remaber after you smoke it and hung it for about 2 weeks its ok to eat its just becomes prefernce from then, so get test. 1st time you do it get 5 pieces and leave them all up for 2 weeks then start takeing one buy one off week at a time and see what you like.
Alot more then u asked for but anyhow hope it helps mate
Thanks for this. I don't get it though. You said there was not enough temperature so you had to modify the design. Why did you not just build the fire closer to the smoke chamber? But I thought it was a good thing if you end up with cold smoke right?!
There was not enough smoke coming to the smoking chamber. Yes, cold smoking is good but you need to maintain a certain temperature at about 45-50 degrees Celsius.
cool
can u tell me how much time does it take to smoke meat and what is the temperature inside?
+guja gujadze I'm just about to finish a new story about the smoking itself. The recipe of how to prepare the meat and how to smoke it will also be included. Stay tuned :)
+Ewa Bekiesch ok thanks :)
Ewa's Country Cookery
could you make up some blueprints and put them onto your website of dimensions like length and width, and all of the parts that you will need? thanks
Sorry, no time for a blueprint atm but I will put the measurements on my website soon. Cheers
Ewa's Country Cookery thanks man and could you smoke fish with this and what would you have to do differently?
Sure you can smoke a fish!! We have done it a couple of times and it was sooo delicious!! You just need to put the fish on a rack. Season the fish with some salt and herbs if you like and smoke till ready. The time depends on how big is your fish :)
Here some measurements for you Rex. Cheers
countrycookery.blogspot.com.au/2017/02/slow-smoking-smokehouse-dimensions.html
Just started one am using blocks people gave me an pallets for siding inside I am using used sheet metal an found three fridge shevels what size opening
would you recommend
You can find some more info about the dimensions and more on my page here www.permaculturehaven.com/intro/slow-smoking-smokehouse-dimensions/
@permaculturehaven Was your fireplace covered? Or open on top??
It was covered. Cheers
It sure would have been nice if you explained what you are doing and why
You could have improved the intensity of smoke arriving at the smoke-chamber by fully covering the conduit by dirt soil; the insulation thus provided would create a smooth flow and a much better draft.
Is it true that your Native American tribes smoked all meats for weeks at a time after salting it to create pemmican or jerky to last for the frigid months from October to March?
You didn't have enough draft , any particular inches per feet of rise?
+Straightwhite male 2 inches rise per one meter channel is enough. The more the better actually. Just make sure that the outlet in the fire place sits above the fire. Cheers!
Why’s the distance so far to the smoke house from the ambers ?
To cool down the temperature of the smoke. The longer the channel the cooler the temperature in the smoking chamber.
Why is the smoke channel so long and could I use metal tubes like old Victorian drain pipes instead of blocks? Thanks for the video.
The smoke channel is so long because it is a smokehouse for slow smoking. The long channel cools the hot smoke down up to 50-60 degrees Celsius and this is what you want in this case :)
what is the distance between the firepit and smokehouse pls? does the snoke cool down enough ?
Hi Michal, The channel is 3 meters long. Yes, the smoke is cool enough. You need to check the temperature during the smoking process and adjust if needed, means add wood or cool it down with spraying some water.
cool thank you very much
Michal Zaskovsky had
Oh god this music...
If you don't mind me asking, but what was the cost to build that?
+Isaac Bos Sorry, not sure about the cost as we used material we had sitting in a shed. You can keep the cost very low using second hand materials
My word! Just build your smoke house, use a 5 gal. Metal can, w/lid, put in charcoal, add smoke wood, set it/forget it for boutbbn 8-10 hours!
What kind of wood did you use for the smoke house ?
We used hardwood but any untreated solid timber is good. If you have termites, you need to put the smoke through few times to make it termites proof.
Alder is great. But you’ll need a lot of it. As it burns fast.
Why didn't you use a fan? Instead of going to all that work?
Is it work for tobacco ?
Great picts but you should have done a voice over and explain what you were doing and why. I don't care what your voice sounds like. I was trying to get information. The picts are good but I don't understand them all. You could have voice overed the basic dimensions, materials, possible alteration and directions. Thank you though. It still gave me some information.
Yes, know this video is not perfect but I cannot change it anymore. It was my first video... Thank you for your feedback.
Can you use chimney pipe?
Sure you can.
Thanks dude.. Top video too, no narration just visual step by step, I wish they could do this with furniture instructions... I thought the stones would cool the smoke some. Good acoustic music 🎶
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Doi! Where's YOUR "How to Build a Smoker Movie"?
It is simply crazy .......
Hi, I wondered why you would make the offset fire so far away from the smoker itself, wouldn't that loose a lot of the heat transfer as it's going through those 12 feet of concrete in the cinder blocks?
Called cold smoking, not suppose to cook it cures.
Good on you for all your hard work. And I credit anyone trying to create and build projects... But dude, way over kill, pouring cement, this could have been much more simple.. Still, high 5 for a good concept
surely a simpler way other than building a whole house
Ya music was a bit loud, the smoke channel seem'd to long why was that?
Sorry for the music, I know, I know... No one likes it hahah The channel does its job. It is cooling the temperature down to around 55 degrees Celsius which is perfect for cold smoking. Cheers!
why not just a pipe? Why all that concrete? Seems like too much
Hi Steve, We didn't have any pipe available but we did have the concrete blocks sitting at our property. That is why :)
Is it used as cold smoking also?
yes
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👊🏼
yumo is that Shunka
Over kill , all you have to have is a small building 5 ft. Square more or less with about 8 ft. High a good roof something to hang your meat on a tub to hold your smoking material
👍
Have you smoked anything in it?
sure we do, regularly
Explain!
Great video. I think if these guys talking smack cant figure out what you're doing without hearing you explain it then they wont be able to do it either way. Thabks for the tutorial.
Thx mate!
That concrete channel was too much work and overkill.
Possibly a large metal pipe at a little bit of an uphill angle would be a lot easier and just as effective??
That’s why I changed to another video to much work for smoking meat I know there is easier ways
The channel was too far away. That's why he had a great problem.
Then make a video of how you built yours
you should have just dug the fire pit deeper would have taken far less effort and time
Not really :) because in case of heavy rain we do have during the summer time very often, the fire place would be full of water.
Sorry lame excuse
music by squeeky finger ,
Лайк 👍👍👍👍👍
what kind of meat was that?
+Fredrick Browmstein it was chicken breast and pork leg/ham. Please check my other videos to see more of it. Cheers
