Just saying hello. I found this site by doing a search for aluminum vertical smokers. I have drawn up plans for a local metal worker to make our build. Quite amazing how the build shown on this site is in many ways the same as our plans. We are a family operated meat market/grocery. We make our own pork, chicken, and venison sausage. We also process deer and most folk want it all made into sausage. As a young couple my wife and I raised hogs and kept the old family tradition of "la boucherie" alive. With a simple home made smokehouse we taught the kids how to keep the traditions of sausage making alive. I read on another forum that aluminum smokers don't work well because they lose too much heat. Well, my old homemade smokehouse from long ago was "heated" with a small "bathroom heater" with natural gas and the smoking was done with a few charcoal briquets and hickory chunks in an old cast-iron hibachi I found at the dump. Besides, I'm a registered coona$$, I'm gonna make that new shiny 'loomanum cabinet work.-----WOW, some introduction huh? Oh, one more thing, I PROMISE to be a total pest here. Thx
