Smoke House

[Traditional-Archer]

I wanted to smoke some venison; the only problem was I didn’t have a smoke house.

[Traditional-Archer]

So I decided to remedy that problem.

I cut the 6x6 timbers in half to make the post.

I had an old Ben Franklin woodstove I used for the fire box.

My little helper T-Rex was just plumb wore out.

I used fence bords for the Sides and made the box area double walled for insulation.
 

[Traditional-Archer]

I added doors and a thermostat

I tested the smoke house to make sure the Teperature would come up to proper teperature, it was my biggest concern. I got the teperature up over 300 deg. at one point we were good to go.

a deer neck roast split down the middle. I put bacon on top and found out this was not necessary.
 

[Traditional-Archer]

I put the roast on at 7:00 am at 9:30 I had to look. I adjusted the temperature by using the flue adjustment on the wood stove. I started at 210.deg at 9:30 I dropped it back to 140 deg.

My God can only tell you how good this is.

I pulled the meat to make sandwiches like pulled pork.

Thank you God for this gift, I will always show appreciation in using the animals I take with my bow. I am dedicating this smoke house to my late uncle Hank, my uncle died at a very young age of 49 from heart complications. He was an avid outdoorsman and was a master at smoking game, and fish. He was a great deer hunter and salmon fisherman, an outdoorsman we would all be proud of. I miss my uncle and will always feel his presence as I enter the woods.
