smokehouse from bricks. About five layers of bricks should be enough (This means that
                   your foundation will be about 10’’ in height.).


                   For  the  wooden  foundation  of  the
                   smokehouse, the best type of hardwood is
                   cherry, apple, pear, or apricot. You can use
                   pallets  because  they’re  durable  and
                   conveniently  priced.  The  base  of  your
                   smokehouse  should  be  square-shaped  and
                   should  mold  perfectly  after  the  brick
                   foundation.  Since  this  is  a  small-sized
                   smokehouse,  try  not  to  exceed  3  feet  in

                   height.

                   Considering  the  brick  foundation  is  16’’  x
                   16’’,  the  base  of  the  wooden  smokehouse
                   should also be 16’’ x 16’’. In height, 3 feet for
                   the walls and 1 foot for the roof should be
                   enough [Figure 6].
