Keep your smoker all Cedar like you had it before but building underground pipe that comes into the side of the bottom of your smoker have a firebox 5 ft 8 ft 10 ft away on the ground and run all your heat and smoke through a pipe that is late in a trench under the ground coming into your Smokehouse. And doing a brisket like that in a Smokehouse you don't bring it to temperature like you would a traditional BBQ Pit smoker what you built is more traditionally is for cold smoking. If you want to make you a pit or a smoke Ox for cooking briskets or any other kind of meats that you have to have at a certain temperature build one out of all that big rock all around your place with a big fire box that's offset from your grill so you're not cooking directly above the fire and build a drain system for all the drippings that would make it self cleaning while you cook
With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
You have so much posative energy all the time my dude. You are so upbeat. a Smoker you put time and work into BURNS, and yet your pretty well unfazed. Its almost like it burning down is just an excuse to have another project to work on.
That cement board stinks like hell when it gets hot. I laid a sheet of that under a barrel wood stove (6" clearance) in my old deer camp tent one time. It off-gassed some horrible stench filled toxic fumes. I hope you have better luck with it.
I burned down the old smoke house on my grandfathers farm. I was burning brush and the wind shifted toward the smoke house which was covered in tar paper. Didn't take much for the tar paper to ignite. I had tools to contain a fire, but not to put out a fire. All I could do was stand there and watch it burn - all the way to the ground.
That was a wild scene you had there. I'm glad it worked out. I think I would've gone to the dump for another abandoned boiler and done something with that. Bulletproof.
You need a water pan for the drippings. It will keep the meat moist, modulate the average temp and prevent the drippings from catching fire. like 1 or 2 inches of water as big as the drip area.
i has smoke meat,pork,fish,cheese last 50 year and not newer has need water anywere in smoker room, i have 50 year has my granddad build old smoker and newer not burn, only big idiot burn,
I was really impressed with how "spot on straight" you applied your eyebrows and mustache with the charcoal with NO MIRROR!! WOW! A+! 😁🤣🤪🥸 Great video, wildly fun and informative 👍. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family .
Love that you used the old burnt wood and didn't replace it, it just shows that we all make mistakes and instead of trying to sweep it under the rug you leave it out there to remind yourself that no one is perfect. Also, like you I wouldn't have trusted the galvanized sheet metal but it would have made a good outer box (second line of defense),you could have built the cement board box inside of it,no zinc issues then. Regardless, looks great, the charred wood gives it character.
I came here late but now love your channel. You start and complete projects fast enough to keep me interested and your sense of humour is fantastic! Thank you.
Great rehab. Adds character. Just wanted to let you know that I will continue to watch every video (I'm a little behind) but they are really cracking down at work, so I won't be able to comment as often. Please know that one of the thumbs 👍 is mine.
Have you thought of separating the fire from the smoker? Having the fire box at a lower level where the rising smoke enters the bottom of the separate smoker box. Maybe add a thermometer on the smoker.
@@ModernSelfReliance just get a good ole fashioned analog thermometer which are still used in home/boat and RV ovens. Slap one of those on the stainless door and Bob’s your uncle.
I think it’s cute when I see fancy smoke houses. Just build about the same size box with brick or cinder block and just toss dried corn husk on the ground for smoke. Wood shavings for flavor if you like.
I don’t know a lot about smokers at all. I have a question about the chimney and smoker chimneys in general. Did you put the chimney out the top for a reason? If you put it lower on the side would the smoke stay trapped longer in the chamber? Is it beneficial to exhaust it faster or slower?
You want the smoke to pass under, around and over the meat you are smoking, then exit...vs have it trapped/swirling too slowly in the meat containment area. The smoke must exit this area smoothly and continuously, which is accomplished by a proper diameter flue pipe to create the draw in the metal cylinder chimney, which will help pull ambient air into the firebox rather than 'choking out' the firebox due to lack of airflow. The design of this smoker can serve either as a cold or hot smoker, depending on the size of fire in the firebox. Good job on the improvements from the first build !
You should consider putting a vented dampener on the door where you feed the wood. That way you can control more of the air flow. It would be a easy retrofit as well
I am looking forward to see what creative use you come up with for the sheet metal box. It looks good, I could almost smell it from here. Thanks for sharing.
Your wife is going to love your new eyebrows! I laughed my @$$ off. Thanks for that! Even though the ductwork didn’t turn out, at least you’ve got yet another raised garden bed. 😂
Hardy panel is your best friend when doing a home diy smoker or shop fire place!!!!! Its great skirting for houses but its multi purpose. My fireplace pipe is lined with it and could take a 1500° fire im confident. I think you are right about the drippings catching fire, same as a bbq when you don't clean it!!!!!! This should work very well now
Nice to see you kept some of the "shou sugi ban" exterior. The whole thing looks awesome. Pork belly would be great in that. Maybe even some nice smoked Eggplant or tomatoes.
@@stephaniemackes5305, who me? I stopped dealing with the vape industry. But I have thought about doing an outdoor channel or I am planning on buying a farm soon. Maybe that could be interesting.
DO NOT, under any circumstance dispose of the drippings in that corn can. That stuff is friggin' delicious! Just let the grease solidify on top and the juices you'll find below are liquid gold
Yeah I agree with Quim Jardi, plus that grease makes for a fantastic grease sandwich for when you pack a lunch for work and your tired of people eating your lunch at work. I've never made a bologna and bacon grease sandwich and took it to work........
I add the yes to this, mon dieu !!! (see french, Canadian eh?), that grease would be awesome. Add sadly is probably what was on fire, dripping in the ver. 1 of the smoker when it was over fired I'd gather. Think of the tasty irony!
Whoever said you were doing this wrong where you stored the wood should honestly be embarrassed never bring someone down who knows what they’re doing even if they make a mistake ppl learn. The meat turned out looking delicious I always enjoy your project videos they’re fun! As a woman I enjoy it I’m studying to be a very talented Architect and I just enjoy little bits of craftsmanship done by men or women. (: I feel satisfied watching what you create!
You can scrape off the char from the wood after the shou sugi ban and it will crate a smoother surface. You don’t need to put any varnish or clear coat on it. Now your smoker is (somewhat) weatherproof. Nice rebuild!
Love your channel. It’s somewhere between The Red Green Show and This Old House, maybe with a little splash of Tim the Toolman Taylor, but for the outdoors!
Muriatic acid on galvanized does not remove zinc, but it does etch it and makes it paintable. If after etching you paint with high temp paint, you lock in the zinc and will have no problem. Even if you don't paint, a smoke layer will form eventually that will also lock in the zinc.
Here where I live we usually build wood burning chamber farther away from smoker itself and just connect it with some pipes. It's usually 2 to 3 meters (around 10 feet) away.
I apologise for I didn't look through the comments prior to using the terminology "armchair professional" I feel as though I plagerized your comment a little. My deepest apologies.
After charring, you can use an oil, such as boiled linseed oil. There may be others. Or don't, just leave it. Or brush off the surface ash, because that doesn't actually do anything.

You should put your drip pan drain out side of your smoke house so you don’t over flow your can and catch fire again
It's poam time

The thermometer company was gonna send us a replacement.
@@ModernSelfReliance just get a good ole fashioned analog thermometer which are still used in home/boat and RV ovens. Slap one of those on the stainless door and Bob’s your uncle.
So glad you were watching it and didn't burn down the forest, those trees close to the smoke house needs to go
Wire brush the burnt parts. It comes out looking brown streaky. Did that to an entire home once...all the 12by12s and 6 by 12s. Great look.
The smoke house i like consists of a separate smoke area with smoke channeled in from a barbeque grill.
I think it’s cute when I see fancy smoke houses. Just build about the same size box with brick or cinder block and just toss dried corn husk on the ground for smoke. Wood shavings for flavor if you like.
You did it again Kevin! You bring out that wonderful community with great comments!Amazing!Blessings to you all!

The higher up the chimney exit is in the meat containment area, the better airflow/draw you will have.

Glad to see you salvaged the smoker👍

I completely agree. Gotta get the welder fired up.
You earned a new sub. I really like your content. I wish you all the best for 2021 and beyond
Nom! Smoked venison sounds yummy. I like the cement board liner idea and how it looks. 😎
The drawn eyebrows and mustache opener lmao
My ex had eyebrows so light, she had em tatoo'd on. Guess makeup tatoo-ing is a think. Not self-reliant, but modern for sure.
I am looking forward to see what creative use you come up with for the sheet metal box. It looks good, I could almost smell it from here. Thanks for sharing.
Sad the Old one burnt down. Good videos as always ofcourse!
The New eyebrows are great🤣
Couldn't wait anymore for the video to come out so thank you very much.
I love your positive mental attitude 💜

Now I just kinda want you to go around with the torch and char the rest of the wood to make it match! I love the look of Yakisugi.
Dude you are hilarious!!!! I’m crying laughing! The opening with the eyebrows and mustache was too much, I lived it!
DO NOT, under any circumstance dispose of the drippings in that corn can. That stuff is friggin' delicious!

Yes sir makes steak,and eggs the best on the planet.!!!!!!

The eye brows and moustache looks awesome.
Ol buddy better than ever what you did to the smoker is smart I so much enjoy watching I'm ready for some beef brisket now good job
To me, this is one of the most enjoyable yt channels. Keep the vids rolling my friend.
Thanks, will do!
Out loud laughing when you drew in eyebrows and mustache. Always entertaining Mr. Fancy Pants.
Hello brother
Happy Saturday from the lower pnw
I have recently started watching your channel and I love your humour and your videos!!
Fingers crossed! Lmao I love that you used the fire 🔥 wood!!! Smokers looking good!
You're living the life that I wish I could.
That fire was crazy scary in the woods. You handled it fine. Still scary.
Now it is a better smoker! Congratulations for your great job, I would love to help building that amazing cube

Hi Brother
Dude, my daughters want to do your eyebrows now! That was hilarious!
Love you kept the burnt facade as a reminder not to burn it down again haha.
I had one of those water tanks as a kid and it was awesome for water fights with neighbor kids.
Now that was hilarious Kevin. Nice eyebrows and stash! Nice repair too. You should name it “The Phoenix Stoker and Smoker”.
You can scrape off the char from the wood after the shou sugi ban and it will crate a smoother surface. You don’t need to put any varnish or clear coat on it. Now your smoker is (somewhat) weatherproof. Nice rebuild!
What a great thing to wake up to... been waiting for this one! Happy smoking!
The first one was a prototype to see where the weak spots were. Rechargeable water fire extinguisher, smart man.
the new upgrades look great looking forward to seeing more smoked good for the hobbit storage
You're a hoot, informative and entertaining
Love the tongue-in-cheek. Great vid.
Awesome rebuild!
Love your channel. It’s somewhere between The Red Green Show and This Old House, maybe with a little splash of Tim the Toolman Taylor, but for the outdoors!

I was able to actually remove the zinc.. I just didn't want to trust it.. Didn't want to risk it.

I like the re-build. This looks even better. The jerky looks delicious 😋

U did a great job kevin. Love how you keep it real, no ones perfect no not one, except our lord of course. Now, you got my mouth drooling.
Your channel is blowing up quick nice job!
A damn good show. i think youve nailed the smoker this time.
Hope so.
Lmao yeah my panic from your last video is probably because I live in Cali. That would have probably caused a huge fire here. We need more rain!
