Does anyone have a smoke house built out of cinder block.

Been along time since i seen a complete cinder block smokehouse.

Is this used as a cold smoker. I would think if the brick was cool it would be some trouble to get it warm.

With insulation and gas burner would not be hard to heat.

What would you do to seal off the pourious brick oppenings of the brick on the iside?

Seems like that would get alot of bad stuff in there.

What are you thinking the heat will bring bad stuff out of the brick or bad stuff will come from outside in. Most bricks are made out of natural materials are they not. I have not even thought about this. Hopefully someone out there knows.

cinder block and fire brick are two different things.

cinder block is very pourious. Unless,

They make a cinder block that is more of a thicker pour.

Then you may not be able to pick it up.

Yes I like the idea of Nepas's smoker. I have messaged him on it. I have a worry that the glues in the wood will cause a problem.

All my life my dad has used a plywood smoker and I have used them up till I got the OBS and we are all fine.....unless you count this nervous tick we all seem to have. :D :D :D :D

I still have to convince the wife on building a smoker. I will post pics when i am done.

classicrockgriller · January 20, 2010, 10:19:36 PM

I would be less worried about the glue in that the smoker will only get to 220 or so.

I spent part of the day looking for an old proffer box or a steel lined fridge or freezer.
