Here is my new Raptor/Guru combo.
Smoking the tasso and some homemade breakfast sausage for dinner tonite. Thought I was going to get to bring everything to the deck but its too cold so in the garage it stays. Going to build a nice smoking shed close to the back deck to put BS in, Side it with a pitched roof, doors, electrical and vent.

I've already got mine in a little shed that needs some work yet. Got plans drawn up for a shelving unit with storage underneath. Also going to put an outlet in there with an outdoor outlet on the outside to connect it to the extension cord in my garage. Shed cost about $125 and the shelf & wiring should be done for under $75. Also have a roof vent to install in the top as soon as the snow/ice melts off.

Sounds like what I want to build. Post some pics when done. I prob wont get started until some good weather sits in.

Yeppers. Not your falt I just found out. I'm at work and this frigging fire wall thing they have on the slope doesn't let you get to most links. Bummer. Links that stay black like the rest of the font are not useable. >:( I'll just have to wait until tonight. Thanks T.T. :)
Okay, that's cool. Sorry ya have to wait to see such a masterfully built shed. ;D ;D ;D
Why wait?

Haha! sorry i couldn't resist it! ;)
Hey Tiny Tim, i looked at something very similar and slightly bigger over here in the u.k., i think adding a vent/chimney would make it very suitable ;)
Hey thanks L.S. ;)

Works pretty good the way it is, but it'll be even better once I don't have to run the cord out the door.
Hey Tiny Tim
Is that one of them rubbermaid sheds? I was looking at the big max jr shed but its way to big for the back deck. One like yours is what I need.
nepas
Very similar to Rubbermaid, but it's made by SunCast. Inside is 29" wide, 19" deep, and right at 72" tall (I think).
Won't it melt? Or do you let the BS site outside till it cools? I was looking for something to cook in as well as store it in. Like the person who put one in the garage with a vent and all! How sweet that would be?!
Hasn't melted yet. :D My smoker sits on an old "end table" inside it right now, and the inside of the shed is large enough to have about 3+ inches of air around the smoker cabinet, so I don't really think heat will be a problem.
If it causes a problem, I have a direct radio link to the County Communications Center to get our local Fire Department over here (also have a key to the Fire Station). :)
I really wanted to use our garage as a smoking house, but Dad wouldn't allow it...he doesn't want the wood smoke smell "contaminating" his pickup.
That is not contamination - it is an additional use of a good smell. Also saves on car freshners lol. ;D
That's what I thought too...especially the Hickory smoke, and usually Apple.
I was thinking on the setup you have TT, but being my brain is aching to build something I am going that route. I'm sure i will have photos.
nepas
Yeah, I wanted to build it myself too, but I just couldn't argue the price difference between this and how I would have built it (I tend to over build badly, if a 1X2 is sufficient then a 4x6 would be better :D ).
