Smokehouse!!! I built a cold smoker, need a hot smoker. I'm either building a crap house looking one or using a all steel old refrigerator.
All sorts of brines and marinades for bacon and hams in www.lemproducts.com I've bought stuff there. Got a www.sausagemaker.com catalog recently, really liking some of the stuff in there.
You can make your own brine. I did for corned venison and smoked venison pastrami. Kinda used Alton Browns corned beef recipe. Got the cure from Lem, enough for 50lbs for a couple bucks.

Edited to add, I do not buy equipment from them!!! Unless you've got $ rolling out your pockets, really nice stuff. I only buy seasonings and casings. Always buy seasoning kits for 25lbs, only costs a couple bucks more than 5lbs.

I also vote for a smoke house... soooooo nice.

Some people up here have a really nice smoke house set up so that they can do buckets of Salmon during harvest season.

I am not that awesome, we just have a smack homemade welded together smoker... works OK, can't get it to say at temp in the winter though.... but it works well enough.

Sounds to me like your fireplace would do nicely.... just pump that smoke out and through a box with grills.... Viola dual purpose..

well um... Maybe not.

I think I might want to make it out of cedar it isnt going to be a huge thing maybe house is to big a term I was thinking like a smoke cabinet....

I just havent gathered enough info on the wood type... I thought cedar tongue and groove or maybe pine?

using hot plates and some sorta racking and hanging system...

if I cant get 50 on board with it I am fairly sure I can build it myself...


I've seen the fridge conversion ones....dont think I wanna do something like that...but they sure look hella kewl

I inherited a big green egg. I need to rebuild it.

But I would like to build a smoker as part of my new kitchen.

Jamie Oliver made a cold smoker out of old wine barrels, that might be cool. Or if you can find some old whiskey barrels or something.
