finally starting to take shape

This is what the space looked like






An 11x11 slab poured last July, this is the smoke shack in progress in my signature. It still looked like this Monday morning.





post are up and 3 of the beams





Rafters are all installed, and the post for the louvered cupola (so smoke can escape) are bolted in.





The cupola hole from the inside





The view from the back porch





Putting tongue and groove and then metal roof. The metal will be a couple weeks but it should be dried in by thurs.

That's awesome!! Can't wait to see the rest. I want to do an area similar like that for all the charcoal toys I have.

Looks good so far. I'll be keeping an eye on this one

 

[deguerre]

Are you going to cool it?

 

[martyleach]

Great progress!

Are you going to cool it?

Not sure what you mean, its just 4 post and a roof to keep the rain off the smoker.

Wow that looks great!

 

[pjtexas1]

That area looks very relaxing!

Impressive, and it looks like it will be hurricane proof. OH, I see, you live in hurricane alley. Great looking build and the surrounding area looks very enticing and comfortable. Time for tending a fire and "chillin out" with a big ole glass of Iced tea! :wink:

I was thinking along the same lines...I bet that structure won't be falling down in the next hundred years.:heh:
That is fantastic work, thanks for sharing pictures.

Was that a kit? If not kudos to the detail work (45* cuts on the coup uprights).
Watchin the smoker while listening to the rain on a metal roof, good stuff.

Ah. You said "smoke shack" which I misunderstood to mean an enclosed space for smoking large amounts of biggish cuts like hams and such. You see, I was having dreams of lovely pig bellies and legs, all gently hanging in the smokey environs and...:doh::redface:

Looks great, that will make a great home for your equipment, like your garden also!

 

[CabinFever]

Very nice, I work with wood and appreciate all the little details you are doing. Great space to hang out in.

Are you doing the work yourself? Regardless, it looks pretty darned solid. Nice job!
