Building your own Smokehouse – The V8 Of Smokehouses

A plan hatched ever since we have done Bradley Smoker down here in NZ, and that was

to create the old kiwi smokehouse with the Bradley Generator System

We used the instructions and plans that come with this full kit and extended the plans to

make up a 2 metre x 2 metre walk in smokehouse

And the results are as follows using untreated plywood

we put x3 Generators on but after we realised that x2 was sufficent for this size unit,

but hey the more smoke the better the flavour

Then there was the rack system we used the bradley racks so we could take them out

easily and wash them for ease of use

Designed a drip tray system so this smokehouse will stay perfectly clean,

just empty the bucket

Added a vent to the top that is fully adjustable

Then decided to add a commercial heating element so this unit will cook anything and made it fully controllable

(Black Heating Bar)

Now for the ultimate test 20 minutes later

and what a system so the next test was to see how it performed

We first managed to get hold of some kahwai from a local fishing competition and the end result was this

Smoked Kahwai is one of our most popular fish due to the oily flesh

Since this all began last year a month ago we did a rather large batch of sausages for we put it up to the real challenge

and 8 hours later we have the best sausages one could produce at home

Just one of the Great things Bradley has to offer
