Watched all 7 episodes, this is how you do youtube, genuine knowledge sharing with no ego. Also best smokehouse build. (friendly tip) if worried about concrete cracks, use GFRC fibers in your concrete mix for that heat/cold expansion/contraction, use plasticizer water reduction for a more compact mix, top off with a penetrating densifier :-) Thats all I would change other than that, this is my favorite smokehouse build.
for bacon .. use this formula ...2,4% of the meats weight is the amount of salt you wanna use .. that way it get's perfect every time and you dont have to "water it out" (place it in luke warm water) i have smoked meat for 26 years , so i've made my share of bacon .. LOVE LOVE LOVE the smoke house.. it's beautiful .. very well made
Good Job Guys on the smoking. You might consider drilling 2 or 3 holes in the door at the bottom and then with a through bolt (or welding) mount a cover plate (rectangle shaped piece of steel) to act as draft control without having to have the door open. Use a big wing nut to loosen or tighten the cover plate over the holes leaving one, two or however many you put on.
Good morning to you both. I learned something new. I thank you for that. Sun isn't up here just yet, but I have a full day ahead of me. Hope you get your potato's in before the rain sets in again. Looking forward to seeing the bacon as it finishes the smoking process. It sure looks good now that it is done! I was going to ask if you would use portions for your beans. My mother used to make us cornbread and beans all the time. It went a long way with a family of several children. And the following morning we could have the leftover cornbread crumbled in a cup with buttermilk over it. Sorry, I got a little carried away thinking about that. Have a good, good day. Blessings. :)
You need to devise a draft control through your access door or otherwise such as a damper in the chimney. I expect in a few years you’ll wish that fire box was situated so tending the fire doesn’t have to be done on your knees. I already heard you and your bride wondering how you were going to get up off the ground…perhaps only joking but that becomes a reality all to soon as we age. I’ve enjoyed your videos during the construction of the smoke house. I’ll be subbing. Thanks for the education. That bacon is truly beautiful. If it taste half as good as it looks it’ll be killer.
Maybe you could find a 4” steel disc and drill 3, 1” evenly spaced holes in it and a 1/4” one in the middle. Use it as a template to drill the same holes in that cast door for an adjustable draft.
Don't know if it has been suggested. On the firebox end of the smokehouse area, could you dig that out some. Like a few steps going down a bit. The point is to extend the roof out where you could get under it when it's raining and keep the area dry where you have to tend to the fire. I'm actually doing this build at the moment.
I bet you your home smoked bacon taste fine real fine. I've never tasted home smoked bacon or home smoke anything. I really admire you and Wanda for all that you do for yourself and others. And I love that you work together God bless you both. Love and warmest thoughts from chilly 23°F Canada
WOOHOO!!! We makin' Bacon Now! So proud of all your hard work to prepare for this day finally! Yay!!! I couldn't be happier for you! I love the day to make bacon. I am so glad on the last video you explained about the use of pink salt for curing. I would get so much backlash from other people about using it with no use explaining to them nay-sayers! Poo Poo on them for being so negative! They are so set on their negativity they'd rather spread it than change their ways. So happy to see this video. Gorgeous coloring on the bacon. Thank you for sharing. So exciting!!!
man that bacon looks awsome already. I watched all of the videos from start to finish, now seeing the end result. I am definitetly going to build one. love to smoke.
Evening sir, I enjoyed your video on how you make your home made bacon. Also like the fact that you have no waste of meat or ingredients in the curing process. The one question I have is where can I source a couple sets of the bacon hooks that you use to hang the slabs of the pork belly in your smoke house with. The stainless steel hooks. Thank you and keep up the content of the videos as they are so enjoyed by all.
hey guys watching , see that nice tile job on the counter? Danny did that too! Love me some hickory smoke cured bacon, what kinda wood did ya use, Danny? Oops, you did say apple and hen pecan, I was too quick on the trigger with that question. Another project that will be wonderful use on the homestead, I really admire you two!
Loved this build, nice job . First generation American ,my folks migrated here from Europe . Dad and I built our smoker from Field stone about same size. My father was a master butcher and made all different types of sausages, he smoked all sorts of meats . Do you smoke the jowls from the hogs you slaughter ? Making jowl Bacon , Italian favorite Guanciale
Danny as my mommy used to say you are acting very ugly for doing this to me. Wow I can just taste that sugar cured smoked meat. I'm eatin on memory. It brings back memories as a kid we'd kill several hogs each year cure em and then smoke em. We had bigger area with ply wood hangin with same principle. We would smoke hams and all. It sure was nice going down to the smoke house on a cold mornin and get that bacon. Mommy would slice it right off in that big skillet kinda makes my eyes cry a little God bless you and Wanda for making my day I love you both in Christ Jesus!
Maybe install an exhaust vent on the door and leave it closed, that way you can fine tune the airflow during less than optimal weather. Great content here, keep it up.
great video you made references to perfect smoking weather. I live in Fl and was wondering can it be too hot to smoke bacon and what is the maximum outside temp you would consider smoking it at
What time do you want us to come over in the morning for the bacon slicing and cooking? I'll bring a couple dozen biscuits and a gallon of Tea. I'm in Maine and i'm leaving the house RIGHT NOW !!!! LOL. God love ya'll.
Hello,this was soo interesting to watch.This bacon looks awesome.Would make some tasty blt sandwich's.I saw the flooding in Mississippi hope it stops so you two can continue planting.Keep warm and take your breaks to.Love,me&Honey kitty.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.......
Amazing smoker! i love the fact that the wood has its place. Great job. Delicious looking bacon. Will you smoke a ham for holidays? I would love to see that process.
if in the oven to dry shouldn't' I put a wire rack on the bottom of the sheet pan so the slab doesnt sit in its grease? also is there a step by step of building the smoker

Danny I had no doubt that the smoke house would do a good job. I am so happy to see it.
Perfection! I keep bragging on your smokehouse to my family. A must have item on the list for sure!

Superb job buddy. Loved your step by step educational videos. God bless and cheers from Antonio, from Goa, the state of India
Your Smoked Bacon looks so good. Thanks for taking us along the smoking process. God Bless You and Wanda.
Maybe you could find a 4” steel disc and drill 3, 1” evenly spaced holes in it and a 1/4” one in the middle. Use it as a template to drill the same holes in that cast door for an adjustable draft.
That is some very beautiful bacon and that is true smokehouse bacon
Awesome job brother hats off to you love it God bless

Lord have mercy!! My mouth is salivating right now and the bacon has yet to be sliced and cooked!!

Have a wonderful weekend to you
LOVE THIS VIDEO! BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO FIRE IT UP!
I use the EQ method of curing. No need to wash or soak. This is the first of your videos I’ve seen. Headed out now to find your cure process.
Evening sir,
I enjoyed your video on how you make your home made bacon. Also like the fact that you have no waste of meat or ingredients in the curing process.
The one question I have is where can I source a couple sets of the bacon hooks that you use to hang the slabs of the pork belly in your smoke house with. The stainless steel hooks.

To the concrete dont crack use sugar in the mix.. is a brazilian technique! 👍🏼💪🏼
Danny that is the best smoke house I’ve ever seen would you be willing to give the dimensions. Thanks
I think he describes all the dimensions in the videos
I'm inspired.
Wow 35° down south that's pretty cool for you guys isn't it sorry to hear that. So hard to plan a planting season with all this crazy weather.
I’d soak beans in that water you use to rinse after 😂 Great job I enjoyed watching.
Love that smokehouse
Maybe install an exhaust vent on the door and leave it closed, that way you can fine tune the airflow during less than optimal weather.
Great content here, keep it up.
hush yo mouth Danny you are killing me here lol... the bacon looks great. Thanks to all of your videos i will be doing this soon as well.

Hello,this was soo interesting to watch.This bacon looks awesome.Would make some tasty blt sandwich's.I saw the flooding in Mississippi hope it stops so you two can continue planting.Keep warm and take your breaks to.Love,me&Honey kitty.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.......
The flooding is way north of us.
There's nothing better than home-cured, home-smoked bacon!
That bacon is a pretty as the smokehouse.
EPIC bacon my man
How do you store the bacon long term? What would be the shelf life of the bacon?.
That good ole Sippi meat!!
Amazing smoker! i love the fact that the wood has its place. Great job. Delicious looking bacon. Will you smoke a ham for holidays? I would love to see that process.
No it takes a certain injection pump here to cure it.
@@DeepSouthHomestead love your videos and be channel. What name brand of overall do you wear?
Is the next one the one that shows as private? If so newest not available
might of missed it but I did not see a drip pan on the bottom of the smokehouse..by choice?
Great tips
Oh that's nice!
if in the oven to dry shouldn't' I put a wire rack on the bottom of the sheet pan so the slab doesnt sit in its grease? also is there a step by step of building the smoker
i would think air intake and exhaust valves would be needed. looks good.
Loki’s good 👍👍👍❤❤
That will probly b the best bacon i wont get my lips around mmmmmmmm and he said pecan blue smoke heaven love that wood for smoking💕💕💕💕💕💕💖🥰
