kbraker, I got a small brick utility building out back of the house that is 16 x 20. been thinking about doing a 3 x 6 box inside with a outside fire box like the above or buy me one of these
$119.00, free shipping and will hold up to 25 lbs
The box would be cheaper as I have the wood but I would have to have two young meat cutters to build it and they work free as long as I have the beer, the beer would cost more that the little Chief lol
Cowboy that is a nice smoke house. I have two friends that has a little chief smoker, both like it. I have eat some of their smoke sausage and really enjoy the taste, not like what you buy pre pac. don't think you would go wrong with one
when I was a kid at home, I use to help my grand father do some smoking, he use to do a few hams, bacon and country link sausage, wish I had paid better attention, in recent years I have gave it some thought. If you get the little chef I hope you will let us know how it works, one on those would be nice to have around
when I was growing up there were many families that killed hogs and smoked the hams and bacon. my family would go over to help them, they would share a little meat with them for helping. they wasted nothing. their sons can do it but would rather go to Walmart and buy what they want. there is few of them that carries on the skill and traditions
