ZedAbdn Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hi, I've been a small-time amateur cold smoker for some time. I have an unused granite and brick outhouse that I've never done anything with. I'm thinking about upping my smoking game and converting this to smokehouse. Never having done it on this scale before, I wanted to ask the expert's opinions on whether this seems suitable? I would need to do some work on the interior, but what do you think? Thanks. Photos can be seen here https://tinyurl.com/2bf924vy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Looks ok to me, wish I had it...😉...as you said it'll need a clean up...a chimney outlet. What heat are you going for??, you'll need a wire rack or bars to hang whatever your smoking.. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of heat, this is still all up for debate...I've traditionally done cold smoking on a small basis and was thinking of extrapolating. I usually do cheese and butter but also fish, but given the room in there I'm considering experimenting with hot smoking. Still need to properly consider my equipment/heat sources for this scale!

I'd say reasonably high though as even in winter these granite buildings are well insulated and temps for storing my cheese has been too high.

Justin Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Any electric in there mate, You could plug in a dehydrator and do some smoked charcuterie if you get he humidity under control, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
