Homemade Smokehouse
- Thread starter Crazy Chaingun
- Start date
we had a digital Bradley, but the wind took it right off the deck, broke a door hindge and did some dent damage. so we bought a Big Chief, it was cheap enough to buy and works well. we don't do big batches at a time, so it serves us well. we did have some problems with the Bradley not wanting to feed the pucks consistently! and I did read somewhere that the pucks have some binder in them that may be hazardous to your health if not used properly. I like chips and chunks system much better. the Big Chief is in operation right now as we speak, and it's windy as Hell, so she's ratchet strapped down. doing a couple doz Hi Mountain snack'n sticks.

just hook up the smoke generator to any old box you've got around, or build something out of plywood. Or buy some old school lockers or any other metal cabinet from Kijiji. Or use your bbq grill. Lots of options.

I'll take this one back to the top.
It's not homemade, but I have an offset, horizontal barrel smoker that gets great results. I switched it to gas from charcoal. I just couldn't get consistent temperature from the charcoal. It works great. I got it on sale at TSC at the end of the season. I made some modifications for better results.
But I started making my own sausage and now I would like a vertical smoker.
I found this plan for a relatively inexpensive one made from plywood.
I'm just gathering materials when I see them on sale and will build it later this spring.

Here's another one that uses a seperate fire pit for cold smoking.
