Smoke House Plans

I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but I think I'm ready to add another project to the long list of projects: a smoke house. After some light research it looks like the key to building a good smoke house is designing your smoker so the smoke pipe runs uphill in order to efficiently carry the smoke to your smoke house. Water runs downhill and smoke goes up, so it makes sense to me.
I'm also thinking you can make your smoke house in about any configuration you choose. I found this picture on the first website that came up when I keyed in "smoke house". Once the barn is finished and I can finally get it fully organized, I shouldn't have to spend half my day looking for my darn hammer. Then I should be ready to actually take up some of these projects instead of just talking about them. Maybe I'll see if I can get the cousins to come down sometime when they're not busy chasing girls (not Dustin, as he already caught a good one; a little gal named Val, and yes I'm talking about the world famous Val of who's also of substantial Monitau County fame), and I bet we could get a good start on that smoke house while hearing stories about the Volkart boys growing up in south central Missouri and getting kicked out of recess for throwing rocks: which incidentally has only happened one other time that I know of in the entire history of Missouri).
Anyway, I'll keep you posted on these and other developments.....
