Built my concrete reinforcement with rebar and some mesh to go above and below the rebar. Made it in a "v" pattern to drop the fire as low as possible.
Formed the slab with 2x6s and made a lip around the edge for the smoke house walls to sit into. Added a drain pipe that I will remove after concrete is poured. This will also be a vent though the slab and under the fire.
The rain caught me on the last 2 bags and I made the last batch to soupy so I couldn't form it perfect. Hope being so wet doesn't weaken it to much.
10 80# bags of quickcrete.
Got the 4 walls done with tongue and groove knotted pine. Drilled 1/2inch holes down a 2x4 and ripped it in half for shelf supports. Will give me plenty of options for hanging the 1/2in rods to use to hang meat or supports for trays, pans or grates.
Fit like socks on a rooster! Time to smoke a lil smoke, drink a lil drink!
Its go time. 2 Boston Butts , a pork loin, 2 chickens and 3 racks of ribs. Turned out great!
