Slideshow of Masonry Pit-Smoker construction

This is a slideshow of how I made the masonry pit-smoker. I didn't get the idea to take the photos until the day the foundation was setting. When I conceptualized it based on traditional smokers in the South I was intending on keeping it inconspicuous. Once I started to count brick I said "what the heck" I'd hate to cut two different lengths of cordwood so I enlarged it to what you see. I didn't stop to think about the clay liner on the left and didn't scale it up too. As a result, it smokes on that side with the blowgeorge open.

@bloodskimask - thx!

Did you incorporate a damper for either the fireplace or smoker?

[rldel149]

@oldyote - no, I didn't see a need in the left since it is just to burn down to coals. The smoke side has door damper/register whichever you prefer but nothing up top.

Do you have a plan / materials list for this project that you would be willing to share / email?

[rldel149]

@toddporch - no but there is a link to a personal website at the end that should answer your questions - best I can do.
