Spataro, Make sure it's RODENT proof, the 2 and 4 legged varieties are extremely smart and quick and have superb taste buds. Good Luck, Jan. Hello Jan! Thanks for highlighting it, I will make sure about every little hole. My first line of defense is a pair of cats, the heavy artillery is an always ...

spataro-it looks like you have the real deal. The holes in the floor are definitely for a smoke chamber and it should work very well-whether with the A-MAZE-N unit or a more traditional smoke generating fire/coals. keep us posted on your progress-- Thanks for the heads up! Let me explain the setup ...

The roof looks very replaceable. If you make your fire with several small pieces of wood and one or two quite large pieces a fire will make smoke for a rather long time.. We will replace the roof for sure in the future but at the moment it will be fine. The fire can not reach the roof because there...

Hi again! Today we made a door for the smoker from leftover wood and set up a small fire. It works like a charm! Smoke was coming out from every little hole of the smoking chamber. It looks like that the ventillation is fine without any kind of door for the fire pit. The next step is to craft an A-M...

hmm, that building is raising more and more questions..

I will go there tomorrow and shoot some proper pictures.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Spataro-welcome! I agree with redzed, I think this is an old wood fired oven. In the photo I do not see a means for the smoke to move from the firebox to the main chamber. I have seen a couple of these old ovens and at least one of them vented around the roof rather than with a formal chimney. You ...

Welcome to the forum Spataro. We look forward to reading about your efforts. At looking at your photos and the fact there is no chimney, I would question whether that in fact is a smokehouse. To me me it looks like an oven used to bake bread. Talk to some of the old timers in the village. This is n...

That never had a door on the fire place.. Just build a little fire in the bottom and observe. That will be a cold smoke smoker is my guess. thanks for the info! we would like to operate the smoker with woodchips, hopefully it will do the trick. btw I am still concerned about the chimney. do you thi...

hello! we were trying to build a smokehouse with my friend, when suddenly we found a very old smokehouse behind the bushes of our grandparents garden. i am not sure about the operation of this smokehouse, it has a concrete layer between the fire pit and the smoking chamber. there are some holes in t...
