I've built numerous smokers through the years , steel barrels work well if not to much space is needed , right now I have a smoker with sheeting , about four feet high by four feet square works ....but the plan is to build one with cinder block at the lower two feet , a concrete pad , and a small wood stove as the fire box , easier to control the heat etc . This one would be six feet or higher , and about six by six , louvered vents to have better control of the smoke / heat as well as being able to hopefully do cold smoke .....but we'll see how that works

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.

was looking for a wine barrel to use as a container garden they wanted like 150 bucks for half a barrel...hmmm but those barrels are usually oak if I recall right

metals not a option for me lil beyond my skill set and not to interested in learning it...I was thinking like a 4 foot tall box... I thought if I used cedar tongue n grove the cedar of the walls might add a bit of flavor...and the tongue and groves would help keep it airtight with whtever venting or whatever might be added......50 at a stack of bricks and stuff he was gonna build one back in maryland but since we are selling that house it's not a project thats going to happen there...
