Smoking in a garage

[Fireguy06]

It's gunna be awhile building a new house in the spring so trying to figure out what to do in the new garage live in iowa and in the winter I like to smoke but can't when it's so damn cold out or windy

Living in Ontario it can get cold and since I have the cold-smoke adapter I wanted to take full advantage.  All I do for winter smoking(hot or cold) is went to Home Depot and got a 5 inch to 3 inch dryer vent converter and fastened some flexible aluminum pipe to it.  Duct taped the 5 inch to the top of the smoker but left a spot untapped so I could move the Bradley damper, then I just brought the aluminum dryer pipe out the garage door and taped it to the soffetting.  Easy to put up, easy to take down - voila!  No smoke in the garage.  Chimney cost all of $20 and is portable.  Doesn't look the best but who's outside other than the snow shovellers and die-hard outdoorsmen/smoker enthusiasts when it's -25F.  :D

Yes it's done. Have been seasoning it n was gonna throw some jerky in there to smoke but it's been too cold to go outside.

Did some salmon on Saturday while it was still in the single digits above zero. My smoker is pretty well sheltered so it wasn't to bad once I got things rolling. Mid thirties this weekend, woo hoo! I'll be fishing though so my smoker will just have to be lonesome.

Looks like that ought to handle a few smoking marathons.

there's lots of room and very well insulated. I'm impressed how well it holds heat
