This is my first time commenting in the chat although I watch every single video you upload. I could not watch this video and not comment on the awesome work you all did. I also must say you and your wife must give each other a top on the shoulders for bringing up such hard working, willing and industrious children. Your family is an excellent example of what a good family unit looks like. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy life's to show us all what you do on your homestead.
Absolutly gorgeous Smokehouse but...One thing that I absolutly hate about 8 out of 10 of these builds is..They never show what they do for a fire box and in my opinion thats as important as the smokehouse itself!
You were so right about Joel, he can be a builder, a concrete layer, a roofer, a mechanic, SO MANY PROFESSIONS! It was so sweet to see Frank working away and was that Cynthia working also? And your wonderful guard dog 🐕 😅. McGie I LOVED this video I have watched it 3 times 😄👋 later
Awesome video brings back memories of me and my family’s building projects 3 generations working on the farm together we never hired out anything rolled up our sleeves and got to work it is inspiring to see your son’s working together with you great group of young men your raising them correctly this is what made America great we are missing that with our young generation hard work never hurt anyone.God Bless
Awsome video! You all do a great job. Look forward to seeing that smoke house in action. I like the way you milled all the lumber from the trees that fell on the old smokehouse.
What a great build! Pretty smart having those nooks built into the sides to store the wood. You are sure gonna get a lot of use outa this awesome Smokehouse! Thanks for sharing the build Brother. You folks have a good day.
Fantastic job Men. I absolutely love not wasting good material. Beautiful smoke house and use of a potentially bad situation. I love your channel Mr. McGie. Keep up the great work.
What a great build, that is the most functional and pretty smoke house I have seen. I have seen many made of stone, but that has to be the best wood smoker I've seen for a household. Very nice job to you and your family.
Micah I love the new smokehouse looks awesome job will done. And you have an amazing family love the way you all come together work to get a job done no matter how big or small. And see Frank was helping out he is an amazing person and friend.
your kids already have more knowledge than a lot of adults keep teaching great build i bet you have to realy understand smoking for this to work and not ruin your food
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures your exactly right about that if something was to happened to all the grocery stores people would starve to death this day and time
Hello McGie family. Nice smokehouse build. You will have a monument for generations to be reminded of a family who works together lives together. Did you by chance have a plan that you used to keep on track?
Awesome smokehouse, i wish i had the skill to build something even half as nice. I know you use coolers to salt your meat but have you ever considered building a salt box for curing the meat in? Its super simple and you can always reuse the salt.
Building a shelf over the smoke exhaust (Intake to smoke house I guess you could say) may help keep hot spots away. I think I would add some gable vents, I don't think your Ridge Vent cut was large enough.
Wow pretty nice smoke house ,and what a power house family all work together god has blessed you and your wife them kids are just the best family unit great job on raising them with the love of the lord
It turned out amazing ! You guys did a top notch job that's for sure . It didn't take you long to start smoking meat in it . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
I hope your boys and family appreciate how much knowledge you are passing on to them. Even though the work seems mundane and not exactly what they want to do, they will be able to continue to pass the knowledge on to their families. They will be able to feed and house fellow man. I was in the Army when 9/11 happened and my first son was born. Unfortunately, I married the wrong woman who could not handle the time away, we divorced shortly after my second son was born. I spent their entire childhood, teenage years, and early part of adulthood, either in a war zone or preparing to deploy. Again, I truly hope you and your family appreciate what all you have together and let each other know every day. Family always helps each other, regardless of the differences.
Great video guys. Really nice job! Oh and as for the dog.... Remember he works nights too as well as being on" stand by "all day. Or in his case " lay by"?
There's an old Blues song named "Smokestack Lightning" by Howlin' Wolf . Ima gonna name this video "Smokehouse Lightning" , because y'all built that thing lickety-split with pure raw controlled family power ! ........ Loves awe your videos , but for some reason THIS one was the most satisfying ~*
thanks for the feedback, I have a lot of untreated oak 1x rough that I am going to build a smoke house with in the spring. As good builders know, nothing is great without a good foundation. Concrete is not my thing. Thanks again, I do enjoy your videos@@McGieHomesteadAdventures
From the slaughterhouse to the smokehouse, Porky Pig, we have drafted you into service! We have helped you fulfill your destiny and we feel good about it.
I don't know about a smoke house! I'd be happy to live in that! The quality is really great! Would you all want to come over to my farm in Greece and build me one please? 😁
I am absolutely in awe..how all of you work together..as a fine tuned unit...you are so fortunate...I love this family...
We have always let the boys help, even when it wasn’t much help at all……… now we reap the benefits of that strategy!!!

Thanks so much for the great comment!!! We are very happy with the smokehouse, but even happier with the boys!!!
That’s a MIGHTY FINE smoke house. BEAUTIFUL!! The work you and your family do is amazing.
Thank you! I'm excited to put it to use!
Absolutly gorgeous Smokehouse but...One thing that I absolutly hate about 8 out of 10 of these builds is..They never show what they do for a fire box and in my opinion thats as important as the smokehouse itself!
Good morning Bro. Micah. The proud look of accomplishment on your face while you hang your meat is priceless. Have a bountifully blessed day.
That was definitely a very good feeling!!! Everything just worked perfectly!!!
Beautifully done! A smokehouse for the ages.👍👍
I think it should hold up well!!!😂
You were so right about Joel, he can be a builder, a concrete layer, a roofer, a mechanic, SO MANY PROFESSIONS! It was so sweet to see Frank working away and was that Cynthia working also? And your wonderful guard dog 🐕 😅. McGie I LOVED this video I have watched it 3 times 😄👋 later
Yes, that is Cynthia! We had a wonderful time building this!
That’s an awesome smokehouse! Definitely the nicest one I’ve seen built on TH-cam!
Thanks bro! You made it possible and a lot of fun!!! Great job cutting the lumber!!!!
Awesome video brings back memories of me and my family’s building projects 3 generations working on the farm together we never hired out anything rolled up our sleeves and got to work it is inspiring to see your son’s working together with you great group of young men your raising them correctly this is what made America great we are missing that with our young generation hard work never hurt anyone.God Bless
Right on! We’re not letting the current society dictate how we raise our family!
Great job on the new smokehouse. You guys really work well together. Way to go Micah and boys and ladies. 👍💯🙏
Yes! Thank you!
Absolutely love seeing the Honored Elder come to observe, witness, and be a part of this important build for the family. That's heartwarming. ❤️
Yes, it is! One of my favorite videos ever!
Not a thing wasted. Thats what i like. Great job on everyone's part.
Definitely makes a huge difference!!!
Mighty fine smokehouse you got there. Some really capable help as well. Thanks for Sharing.
I’d have been hard pressed to to it by myself! These guys are invaluable!!!!!
Excellent family project you guys did an awesome job
Thanks! We really enjoyed this one!
Awsome video! You all do a great job. Look forward to seeing that smoke house in action. I like the way you milled all the lumber from the trees that fell on the old smokehouse.
It sure worked perfect!!! And as you see in the end of the video, it didn’t take long at alll to get in the action!!!
What a great build! Pretty smart having those nooks built into the sides to store the wood. You are sure gonna get a lot of use outa this awesome Smokehouse! Thanks for sharing the build Brother. You folks have a good day.
You know me well!!!💋💋💋💋
Awesome family effort. You are totally self sufficient, a rare trait this day in time. Great content love y'all. 🙏🏼
We do our best! Unfortunately our blessed government makes it impossible to be totally self sufficient, but we definitely do the best we can!
Now THAT'S a fancy smoke house that should last a lifetime! 🔥🙏🏻
Absolutely!! I’m very happy with how it turned out!!!💥💥💥
Watch he will zoom out and it will be next to a leaning oak tree. 🤣
@@iowaoutdoorfamily LOL 😂
😂😂😂
Love the out lyrics of the building nice job guy. God bless your family.
Me too!!!
Forgot to say how amazing your smoke house looks. Can't wait to hear how the food tastes
Oh my goodness it’s amazing!!🥓🥓🥓
Fantastic job Men. I absolutely love not wasting good material. Beautiful smoke house and use of a potentially bad situation. I love your channel Mr. McGie. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much Wade!! We’re having a great time!!
BEAUTIFUL!! Love watching this family and learning.
We love sharing!!!
its a thing o beauty McGie, a thing o beauty! and all yall teamwork makes the dreamwork. God bless you all
That was one of my favorite moments in life ever!
What a great build, that is the most functional and pretty smoke house I have seen. I have seen many made of stone, but that has to be the best wood smoker I've seen for a household. Very nice job to you and your family.
Wow, thank you! I know we are extremely pleased with it!!!
Micah I love the new smokehouse looks awesome job will done. And you have an amazing family love the way you all come together work to get a job done no matter how big or small. And see Frank was helping out he is an amazing person and friend.
Thanks so much! We love doing it so much!!! It’s our happiest days!!!
Man that is the nicest smokehouse I’ve ever seen! Good job building it McGies’!
Thanks a bunch brother! I couldn’t be happier!!!
When you say you're going to upgrade you really upgrade beautiful post and beam Smokehouse thank you mr. Mcgie and family
It wasn’t until the tree came down that we decided on this design…… it was time to get lumber sawn and he’d to make a decision!!!😂😂😂
That’s a work of art. You all should be proud.
Thanks brother! We’re completely ecstatic about it!!!
your kids already have more knowledge than a lot of adults keep teaching great build i bet you have to realy understand smoking for this to work and not ruin your food
It actually is not very complicated…… mostly making sure the salt cure is well established is the most important part.
Great job Micah and family start to finish.
Thanks brother!!! Now we’re back in business!!!
Heck yeah, that’s a fine smoke house right there. Youns did AWESOME! Awesome video!
Thanks so much! We had a blast!!
Absolutely wonderful ,,,well done,,so happy for you guys to have this beautiful smoke house ,,shes perfect 🙌🙌🙌

I’m absolutely tickled with how it turned out!!! Absolutely perfect!
Them boys have a awesome work ethic need more people like this in the world you did good job with them
They’re great boys!
That’s what a man and woman can do working as a team,raise a great bunch of well adjusted children,who will be just fine,as adults!
That is a beautiful smokehouse. you and the kids did an amazing job building that. keep up the great work.
Thank you! We had a blast!!!
Love the construction videos.... Frank is a bonus 😂. Keep up the good work!
We love it! He is an absolute hoot!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Do you ever get Frank up on the roofs? 🤔😂😳
Looks great. I really like the sides of the smoker that you made to store the wood
It’s gonna be a great addition to the place!!
Going to be a very nice smoker Thank you for the wonderful video McGie
Thanks for watching!
That is the smokehouse of all smokehouses, awesome jobs to everyone involved.

Impressive craftsmanship. That should last slightly longer than forever.
😂😂😂 we definitely hope so!!!😂😂😂
Nice smokehouse, great craftsmanship,
Thanks brother! We’re rolling now!!!
Wow, absolutely beautiful, great job guys
Thanks so much!
❤ gotta be the prettiest smoke house ever. Custom is always best, in my opinion. (I do custom leather work)
When you come south you gotta come for a tour!
@McGie Homestead Adventures that is definitely on my to do list.
Awesome!!!
I stumbled up on your channel over the weekend and am sure glad I did. I have really enjoyed the videos of yours I have gotten to watch so far
Welcome aboard! We’re having so much fun sharing our lives!!!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I do a lot of the same stuff you have in your channel myself just not much on making videos to share lol
Everyone used to do these things, now society is weak and vulnerable.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures your exactly right about that if something was to happened to all the grocery stores people would starve to death this day and time
What a beautiful family looks like
Very very impressive!!! Job well done
Thank you very much!
I like the way you have the wood storage under the eves.
I think I’m a genius 😎😜
great video and a awesome smokehouse I am envious of it
I’m it’s definitely a nice addition to the farm!!!
Hello McGie family. Nice smokehouse build. You will have a monument for generations to be reminded of a family who works together lives together. Did you by chance have a plan that you used to keep on track?
Thanks so much! No I just built it in my head…… I never even wrote down a material list! Needless to say I had some leftover parts!😂
Awesome smokehouse, i wish i had the skill to build something even half as nice. I know you use coolers to salt your meat but have you ever considered building a salt box for curing the meat in? Its super simple and you can always reuse the salt.
I did think about it……. And still might……. Thanks for the reminder!!
Great video buddy I like the smoke house I liked the video yesyerday sawmilling the lumber I watched it while I was sawing some cedar at our sawmill 👍
I thought about you yesterday! You know exact what we’re doing!!!
That is beautiful, I'm jealous now, great job
Tell Todd to saw you a smokehouse package like this!!!😂
Awesome looking smoke house certainly didn't waste any time getting meat hanging great job to you and the boys
You got that right! We had a well oiled machine in this crew!!! The bacon was ready to go in just as soon as it was finished!
Building a shelf over the smoke exhaust (Intake to smoke house I guess you could say) may help keep hot spots away. I think I would add some gable vents, I don't think your Ridge Vent cut was large enough.
That might be, but it definitely filled with smoke!
Wow pretty nice smoke house ,and what a power house family all work together god has blessed you and your wife them kids are just the best family unit great job on raising them with the love of the lord
That’s the part most people overlook and dismiss as trivial…….. but it’s a proven fact that you can’t get kids like this any other way!!!
Wow that is one nice smoke house! Well done
Thanks brother! We’re happy with it!!
It turned out amazing ! You guys did a top notch job that's for sure . It didn't take you long to start smoking meat in it . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
I put my bacon in the salt before we finished, so that it would be ready to go as soon as we were finished!!!😂😂😂
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
I hope your boys and family appreciate how much knowledge you are passing on to them. Even though the work seems mundane and not exactly what they want to do, they will be able to continue to pass the knowledge on to their families. They will be able to feed and house fellow man.

Again, I truly hope you and your family appreciate what all you have together and let each other know every day. Family always helps each other, regardless of the differences.
That’s unfortunate that life dealt you such a hand…….. hopefully you are doing ok!
The smoker turned out awesome great job
Thanks! We are thrilled with how it turned out!!!
I'm absolutely crazy about this love it and once again I wish you was my neighbor
I definitely understand that!😂😂😂
Beautiful!
Thank you! We really love this one!
Awesome build 👏
Thank you! 😁
Great video guys. Really nice job! Oh and as for the dog....
Remember he works nights too as well as being on" stand by "all day. Or in his case " lay by"?
A very valid point!!! He is definitely worth his weight in bacon!!!😂😂😂
Great video Mr. McGee !
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s a neat way of doing concrete 👍 I don’t think I’ve ever seen that 😮
It’s something I learned from the Hondurans!
Great family effort.
Thanks so much!!
Its is very Very impressive, you all did a great job!
Thank you very much! We’re extremely happy with it! Lots of pork should make its way through there!!!
@McGie Homestead Adventures do you have an email I can send you an email
Yes it’s drmdmcgie@gmail.com

Anything that includes bacon has to be epic!!!😂🥓🥓🥓
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures .. doggone rite ! .. and I see you didn't waste any time hanging some Bacon to Smoke~
Now that is nice. What did you seal it up with though? I can all most smell the goodness through my phone 😅 job well done.
Linseed oil ….. it definitely smells like bacon now!
Great job McGees
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Do you have a video of the freezer you hung the big steer in?
Not about it specifically.
That is some rough work mixing concrete in place. Mixed a little by hand many times, just always used the tractor bucket.
Awesome new smokehouse, I knew you wouldn't waste anytime filling it.
It’s a job for sure!!! But many hands make light work!!!
I was definitely itching to get it rolling!!! 🥓
What a test drive it was!!!
Impressive, did you tilt your slab at all? Any recommendations as far as the slab goes?
I didn’t tilt it. Just broom finish it so you’ve got traction. Put plenty of steel in it and you should be good!
thanks for the feedback, I have a lot of untreated oak 1x rough that I am going to build a smoke house with in the spring. As good builders know, nothing is great without a good foundation. Concrete is not my thing. Thanks again, I do enjoy your videos@@McGieHomesteadAdventures
You are very welcome!!!
Very nice buddy😁👍howdy from Texas
Hey, thanks! Great to see you!!
Looks like a smoke castle or maybe a smoke church! Holy smokes!
😂😂😂 that’s the way it used to be!!! Revival!😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures 🤣
that's a fine smoke house!
Thanks John! We’re very excited with it!!!
what is your spacing for the timber trusses, this is awesome!!!
If I remember correctly we just spaced them evenly just under or over 3’
Awesomeness video
Glad you enjoyed it!!
That is the best smoke house ever
We’re very excited about it!
Watching this video, felt like watching a rerun of the 1980's TV Show: The A-Team👍
Oh wow! Awesome!
haha that's how I do concrete. Random metal pieces, and I usually stab a bunch into the ground, makes it so the pad can't slide.
It definitely works!!
I am glad frank came to be supervisor 😅 everyone did a great job not your first rodeo😅😅 thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida
Yes we’ve got a little experience doing this!!😂😂😂 I’m glad you enjoyed it!!!
Now that's a goodun PaPaw!!!
👍🥓🐷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks brother!!! I love it myself!!!
Ya are awesome 👏
Thanks! This will be my favorite video for a while!😂😂😂
From the slaughterhouse to the smokehouse, Porky Pig, we have drafted you into service!

Absolutely! Let the good times roll!!!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I figure if word got out how wonderful the food on your dinner table is, it could torch off a second Civil War.
Great build
Thanks brother!
A job well done by all she's a beauty.
Thanks brother!!! We had fun!
Wow very nice smoke house :)
Thank you 🤗
I don't know about a smoke house! I'd be happy to live in that! The quality is really great!
Would you all want to come over to my farm in Greece and build me one please? 😁
❤️❤️❤️. I sure wish we could!
Nice great job y’all
Thanks so much!
