Good video thank you. I was wondering how you made the date hyperlink you show (at around 2.10) without the hyperlink symbol being visible beside the date. Its a lovely discrete way of using the feature. Thanks for the video.

Hey, young lady. What you have is a good cold smoker. Cold smokers are difficult to achieve. Cold smokers are good to smoke cured meat such as pork loin, pork belly, eye of round. So you can make cold cuts. I also like your cork soaking in alcohol to start a fire. Good thing I don't throw away my wine bottle corks. You could modify your smoke house (cabinet) by lining the lower part of it with bricks so you could burn wood directly inside of it. This way you can have a cold smoker and hot smoker with the same cabinet.

Sorry I am trying to understand the term HOMESTEADER: this is what Google shows: “someone who goes to live and grow crops on land given by the government, especially in the past.” Is this the context you mean it in? EDIT: The above is the Cambridge dictionary definition. I see there is also a Wikipedia definition. Is this what you mean by Homesteader? “Homesteading is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. It is characterized by subsistence agriculture, home preservation of food, and may also involve the small scale production of textiles, clothing, and craft work for household use or sale.”

The caterpillar she picked looks like army worm. For 2 years they were the bane of my existance! Somehow I beat them. Had zero in 2024. Only had horn worm pop up on one tomato plant and I whooped him, had great tomato season last summer. Btw didnt even know you two started a channel! (My sister just told me) Congrats.

Hi there!!! I'm happy I found you. I am doing this right now with 10 trees/shrubs we found in our yard. We just purchased some land and keep finding goodies. Beauty Berries are one. I'm in Central AR as well. I'd love to know about the group so I can join. We are new to the area and are looking for a community to be a part of.

Wrap some insulation on your pipe from the burner to the smokehouse. I think you are losing quite a bit of heat as it passes thru the connector. I love the rack set up, that was a great idea, strong enough to hold heavy meats, far better than light weight wire. You have me rethinking how mine is, now just to find a thicker rack.

Hey Shelly, great build. I built a double barrel smoker a few years ago and just replaced the fire box/barrel. The one thing I did for my doors is I bought an extra barrel and cut the doors 3” wider and taller than the opening.

IDK what your plans are for the beds that were infested. However, if the beds are deep enough, lasagna gardening with layers of wet cardboard and compost/soil on top might be a good way to go.

Thanks for the video. I have a question - is there a pump with aeration in this system or is a regular water pump installed?
@ConnerHomestead
@ConnerHomestead 7 ай бұрын
The aeration comes from the space between the Roots and water line. They're not completely submerged. They have pumps that work on a schedule 30 min on/off.

What are you smoking? Asking, because I see your smoker on an extended pipe, but you at the same time water the wood flakes. If you smoke on cold smoking, don't add any water to the system... don't water your woodchips.

Smoked a ham. This was not a cold smoke. Pipe connects it to a separate smoker serving as its firebox.
