Tell us about your smokehouse. I'd like to build one. My grandfather had one on his farm but I vaguely remember it and he was too old to use it by then.

Our smoke house is just an 8x15 or so metal sided building with a little fire box that we set in it and put a lid on so fire doesn't get too hot

How long did you smoke that and how hot did it get?

4 days total and it never gets hot. Cold smoked, all the curing is done by smoke and the salt brine

How often do you have to tend to the fire? Can you leave and go to work, or does it have to be periodically tended to?

25 middlings total. That's commercial that we buy from a meat market. Have to tend to fire pretty good for first couple days to keep good smoke going. We try to do it when it's good and cool where if you do lose smoke me doesn't warm up. After we get good bed of coals with dry wood, use a greener wood so it doesn't burn as fast and will smoke more

That looks fantastic and I know it's better than anything commercially available.

What kind of slicer do you use?

It's not just for our family. Wife's parents, uncle, grandma, and grandpa. Vacuum seal in bags and last well over a year. Slice some then and longer makes for excellent wraps on the grill. Old industrial slicer. I'll have to looks at name when I get back home
