I wouldn't use cedar for no other reason than I've always thought it smelled kinda funny.   A smokehouse should be Oak.

After watching "The Road" I can never think of a smokehouse the same again.

Tagged for info.  I need to build one too.

I don't see why cedar would be a bad choice.  Other than the odd smell it puts off and the cost (least around here its big$$$). But I would think after 20 hrs of smoking it the smell/taste would be replaced with glorious hickory stench.

Great idea.

Build the motherfucker so we can either praise you or ridicule you depending on what many who don't even have a smoker think.

I am worried about the tanic acids in the Cedar.

Yeah I would stay away from cedar (no real reason though). I dunno just get some rough cut pine or whatever. board and batten it. I am looking at building one soon.But I don't think the cedar would do enough to warrant the cost.

People smoke salmon on cedar planks all the time.

But I have no idea if that is something to be concerned about or not.

Hell just have one made from steel and be done with it.

Ok I own a welding shop and a saw mill, I can have all of the above.

What I don't have is Pine, Oak, or the knowledge of whether or not I should use FUCKING CEDAR TO BUILD THE MOTHERFUCKER!!

Comes with less snakes up here.

For all practical purposes it's just a box.  The food doesn't really contact the smokehouse and the temperatures are pretty mild as well.   I think cedar would be just fine if that is what you have available.

Stainless steels is the correct choice.
