This step by step woodworking project is about wooden smokehouse plans. If you enjoy cooking, especially tasty meat, you should consider building a basic wood smokehouse. The project consists of a nice smokehouse with a beautiful design. My plans come with step by step instructions and you can easily adjust all the dimensions to suit your needs. See my other DIY projects HERE.
We recommend you to invest in the best materials you could afford. Therefore, you should buy weather-resistant lumber, such as pine or cedar. Always take accurate measurements before adjusting the size of the components at the proper size. Drill pilot holes trough the components before inserting the wood screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. See all my Premium Plans in the Shop.

Building a wooden homemade smokehouse
Building the floor frame
The first step of the smokehouse project is to build the floor frame. Cut the components from 2×4 lumber. Align the edges flush, make sure the corners are square, drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws.
Fitting the skids
Build the skids from 4×4 lumber. Attach the skids to the floor frame. Drill pilot holes through the skids and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the joists. Leave no gaps between the components for a neat result.
Laying the floor
Use 1×6 slats for the floor. Use 1 1/4″ screws to secure the slats to the joists. Make sure you cut out a hole in the floor for the smoke pipe. You need to adjust the size and the location of the hole in the floor to suit your needs.
Front wall
Build the front wall from 2×4 lumber. Cut the components at the dimensions indicated in the diagram, drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock everything together tightly.
Building the side walls
Build the side wall frame from 2×4 lumber. Follow the diagram to cut everything at the right dimensions and lock them together tightly.
Back wall
Build the back wall from 2×4 lumber. Assemble everything with 2 1/2″ screws.
Assembling the smoker house frame
Fit the walls to the floor of the smokehouse. Align the edges flush, drill pilot holes through the bottom plates and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the floor. Lock the adjacent walls together with 2 1/2″ screws.
Side walls slats
Attach 1×6 slats to the exterior of the smokehouse. Use 4d nails to secure the slats to the framing tightly.
