I totally agree!

[@alsharp5824]

Very impressive! Would there happen to be a schematic and parts list available? Would love to build one just like this. Thank You!

[@stevenhall9349]

Did you ever get one if so where?

[@edged1001]

Mr. Akers is a talented builder.

[@gcm34]

I stay in the UK and I am at the half stage of building my smoke house. I have the foundations built for the fire pit and the smoker. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will have it finished off and have a video uploaded showing it in action

[@johnbrowne204]

Thank you for sharing. I got some ideas for my country house!

[@PineRidgeHomestead]

That is a very nice smoker. I am going to build one on my homestead!

[@AliAhmadi-hq9pj]

Wow. What a beautiful job 👍

[@rizboys7015]

Outstanding!!! I want one!

[@TomBeckett76]

Awesome video ! I've watched all the steps in making this.Can't wait to build one like it this spring to smoke some fish , meat, etc. Only thing is i'm building the top to look like an old Outhouse, lol. I live in the country and thought it'd look cool .Thanks for the videos . Great job.

[@angeliquekikudi4331]

Thank you for such a biotiful work. So easy to build. Hope that the food comin out of it will taste as good as the house. Stay committed to teach people. Stay blessed.

[@jimpinckard7891]

I've seen a lot of home built smoke houses by people that thought they knew what they were doing but this is the very best one of them all. This one is the most efficient and best thought out one I have seen yet. Great job John. Do you have the plans for this one and do you sell them? You done good...........

[@homevalueglass3809]

Beautiful! Now as long as someone doesn't mistake the smokehouse for an outhouse.

[@TimFarmerCK]

Hehehehe

[@stxrynn]

You had me on pins and needles waiting for this! Thanks a ton. Down this way, everything is mesquite. I can hardly wait to get mine built and smoking. Thanks Tim and John

[@TimFarmerCK]

stxrynn I'm enjoying the heck out of mine!! Have fun, and send me pics when you get yours built!

[@herminmorpeau6330]

[@pim1234]

Very nice smoker ! Well build !

[@pennystpierre4740]

Beautiful Job.

[@gimesamis]

So beautiful! Well designed and a work of art!!!!

[@miguelfilo962]

Beautiful. I'm thinking about building one big enough to hang a field dressed deer & a hog in at the same time. Maybe a 10 X 10 foot box.

[@RsBeta]

Beautiful.

[@pavelschleiss7048]

Thank you so much for the great inspiration to make a wooden smokehouse!

[@TimFarmerCK]

You are so welcome!

[@dalebarker510]

[@contreeman]

[@OffKilterHomestead]

[@garylong7096]

Nice job, starting on making one myself.

[@ShadowComic]

[@helldragon691]

Love your smoke house trying to build one myself but having trouble finding a fireplace clean out door here in lexington

[@dananelson3534]

Great build guys, thanks.

[@paulcorbeil4364]

Hi Mr. Tim and John. Very, very professionnel work. We see a skill man craft worker, very nice job. 1 K Bravo. 2020 06 02 Saint-Joseph de Mékinac, Trois-Rives, Québec et Labrador libre et souverain.

[@TimFarmerCK]

Thank you!

[@firsttruckcentreedmontonwe1050]

Nice work John!

[@leovasquez5016]

Outstanding video. What type wood do you use for the 2x4 framing? Thanks

[@TimFarmerCK]

Western Red Cedar

[@adamfernandez3417]

berry berry nice work

[@gilleslanstroffer3518]

Very good work. A french Friend . Nice

[@TimFarmerCK]

Thank you

[@Trapping_Charlie]

Do you have a complete parts list?

[@freddypatterson8653]

Great job, and thanks for posting this and all your other post, Freddy

[@dawnpatriot6248]

Nice job!

[@fishinncookinnsuch]

most important info for a cook would be the temperatures! so after you put two thermometers in, what temps did you obtain?

[@TimFarmerCK]

Remember.....this is a COLD smoker. The temperature should rarely go above 90. That's why the firebox is away from the house.

[@ericjohnson9080]

That is an awesome project! I would like to know what temps you got with it....

[@rogerrathbun444]

The frame doesn't need to be any special lumber ? so I can use plain fraiming 2X4 from the home depot ??

[@TimFarmerCK]

Exactly

[@mandolinman9300]

I really enjoyed this video series. I haven't been able to find the "roof" for the firebox either. I'd really appreciate knowing where to get it. Thanks!

[@TimFarmerCK]

John said he got the "stone wall cap" at Lee block and brick in frankfort.

[@hihoney1122]

Now that looks gorgeous ! :D

[@drew_9154]

very nice!!what kind of wood did you use for the construction of the smokehouse??

[@TimFarmerCK]

Western Red Cedar

[@xseedlingx]

What a beauty

[@flaviusnita6008]

Thank You!

[@billray1785]

Just a observation but is the brace on the door the wrong way, should it not be at the top, lock side, down to bottom hinge side (I made this mistake). Still a very nice smoke house. Do you use any other wood for smoking.

[@sebastianrobertson3123]

Any fireproofing measures? Or is the temp low enough that they're not needed?

[@TimFarmerCK]

The firebox is separated from the smokehouse by several feet. This is a COLD smoker, for meats, fish, cheese etc.

[@justinholliman1732]

What did he use for a roof for the firebox?

[@bushido74b]

Can that large slab piece used for the firebox roof be purchased at Ace hardware ?

[@bigmark2.046]

Nice tutorial! When can we expect to see it in operation, and some product?(unless it's already available, and I just can't find the thread) Thank you.

[@TimFarmerCK]

+boredinPA We have smoked bacon (kzbin.info/www/bejne/apbboGappK6De7c) and cheese (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKTKpaKHpKh6g5o) so far!

[@bigmark2.046]

Thank you. I'll check 'em out now.

[@MilosStevanovic1]

Interested how would you keep the temperature if you are to do this when it is freezing outside....

[@TimFarmerCK]

This is a COLD smoker. We typically keep it below 100 degrees F.

[@BiggBenn323]

How do you control the temperature? And do you have any difficulty with keeping it regulated? Thinking about building one, but if temperature fluctuates a-lot i might just buy a commercial one.

[@TimFarmerCK]

This is a COLD smoker. Used for COLD smoking hams, bacon, sausage, fish, cheese, etc.

[@mexicanme2769]

I am jealous of the place you have there

[@todddelp7419]

Was regular mortar used in the firebox, or do you have to use something special? I think this is an awesome design.

[@eltonsbbq-pit]

Really liked this! Will it coldsmoke ? Cheers from Norway!

[@oscarsantaella]

Great Job

[@EastTexasEquity]

That looks great!

[@anthonymason2186]

What temp were you able to get it to and hold it to while smoking? Were you able to say this is a cold smoker and hot smoker?

[@TimFarmerCK]

This is a cold smoker

[@howielane8406]

With this design, how does air get into the burner box to support the fire? Other than that, the smoke house looks very attractive and in place. Thanks for posting.

[@TimFarmerCK]

+John Lane The door on the hot box is not airtight, and I crack it just a bit to get it to draft…..works like a charm...

[@howielane8406]

Oh ok. I figured it may have an inlet or something.

[@randyy1964]

Are there plans available?

[@gRosh08]

Well done!

[@bobcat9314]

What a great project..one day..I'll get to it..hahaha

[@BrosephRussell]

That is freaking awesome

[@karenkirt243]

Very nice !

[@hnrhoyos]

that is a very nice smoker

[@johnmorrison8956]

What was the end result as far as being able to hot smoke in it?

[@MikeJones-yf2xx]

Looks good

[@Vikingking19787]

can you paint the outside of it to help the wood from rotting faster or will that hurt the meat

[@jesseison-bowman3964]

Us Kentucky boys love us some smoked meat now!

[@TimFarmerCK]

Amen Brother!

[@ltcajh]

Are there issues with critters getting in there, or does the smoke keep them out? I heard smoking has to happen during cool weather to keep meat from rotting. Sound right? Where did you get the fire pit access cover? Thanks.

[@TimFarmerCK]

+ltcajh Might get a mouse, or a spider, but they won't bother much...

[@OurLifeMix]

Wow! That's COOL!

[@nickstickford1]

How hot have you been able to get and maintain inside the smokehouse?

[@TimFarmerCK]

This is a cold smoker....for most things I want the temperature in the 80's or 90's.....

[@trickydick4235]

Now that you have had some use, what would you change?

[@TimFarmerCK]

It works really well! I can't think of anything I would change. Getting ready to smoke some sausages!

[@murrayarmstrong461]

Great lookin smoker

[@TimFarmerCK]

Murray Armstrong Thank you!

[@nathanrichardson2055]

Amazing

[@anthonymason2186]

Is there a plan design for this I can find?

[@mikenicholson2548]

Is there any plans for this smoker?

[@danielchervin]

gonna build me one...

[@trethehunter]

John sounds like Phil Roberson

[@joecaley]

Have you had a chance to hot smoke something in your smoke house yet? How high of a temp have you reached?

[@bushido74b]

any advice on where to get those long interlocking cedar boards and high heat tiles? I went to Lowe's and they looked at me like I was crazy :(

[@fridaywm]

+charlie marrero I went to Home Depot for my interlocking siding. It was called Knotty Pattern Board. We call it "bead board". It's made of pine. I found fire brick at White Jones and Ace Hardware. I had to order my chimney cleanout door from Ace online, and for my flue liner, I used 4 cinder blocks joined with mortar and laid in concrete.

[@charliemarrero4145]

+Grace Medlin Is White jones another hardware store or specialty shop ?

[@fridaywm]

+Charlie Marrero Hardware and sporting goods. The split fire brick comes in boxes of 6. It's kind of expensive. You could do the entire fire box in full size fire brick for roughly the same price.

[@shaneedwards367]

Thank you

[@mcdaniel01]

how is the stove getting its air ?

[@ooberroadie14]

Was the lowest area able to get hot enough to slow-cook meat? Have to temped the various levels yet? If so what are your readings? Absolutely great vid. Can't wait to build one for myself. Would like to have that lower area get hot enough to slow-cook some brisket? Yummy.

[@rick1613]

Where did you get the fire box door - I like that style?

[@hansstuttz3806]

I want the plans for this smoke house. Can you send it to me please

[@wntu4]

Outstanding. Thanks.

[@dougiefresh8275]

great job !! thanks

[@raymondaston4796]

will you be doing any videos of the smoke house in use

[@TimFarmerCK]

+Raymond Aston yes...we have shown bacon, cheese, and fish....
