It is, unfortunately, not mentioned in the article what fuel is used, but as it is next to a fireplace, I assume wood-burning. The photos are a little unclear, but here they are. Curious design....it looks like there are four compartments, with one being quite large?
About Me
My name is Josh, not Joey (surprise), and I reside in Central Ohio. I have been grilling since I could drive, and smoking for around 15 years. Over the past couple of years I have gotten more into just cooking, and really enjoy sous vide and the flat top. I find myself experimenting with different foods and new ways of cooking as an outlet to work stress. I use every piece of equipment I own regularly, with the exception of the electric smoker. That only gets brought out on occasion to make jerky.
My favorite beverage is bourbon. I typically have at least 8-10 bottles open at any given time. While I have favorites, I enjoy sampling new and different varieties.
Found the address, kitchen is ok size but sheesh that's a small lot and small house for the money. And it has a shared driveway, yuck! The photoshop of grass in the front yard cracks me up though.
Oak Smoke Wouldn't take a lot to talk me into that now that I'm retired.
Tie a Yeti fulla beer to my John Deere and cut grass all day.
Lotsa Pecan for the smoker....I'll start packing in the morning....
I’ve been tempted to get my realtors license because of the beautiful homes that are available in the small towns throughout the Texas hill country. The cost of living in many of these small towns is far below the expectations of those who have not looked into them. We experienced a 30% drop in cost of living when we moved here. Yes we do have hot summer’s, but there’s nothing to remove from the driveway when it’s hot, just turn the thermostat down a couple of degrees. We love Texas!
Well, you know we already have family in Dallas/Frisco so not such a stretch for us to do it.
We tried to move down there in the late 80's with the family.
Problem was then and is now residency and I wouldn't want to maintain two homes.
One of those great dreams to have though.
There's a chance I'll build a house on the Oregon coast. It would be pretty amazing to have a wood-fired oven, a charcoal grill, or a smoker built-in. Although I might still choose to put the smoker outside in the outdoor kitchen.
... a smoker built-in. Although I might still choose to put the smoker outside in the outdoor kitchen.
Why not both?
I'm actually serious. Depending where on the coast, it might be windy, rainy etc and you could smoke inside if the outdoors was crappy. Nice day? Hang out in the sea air, smoke some ribs.
Because I don't mind the rain and it would be under cover. But realistically it would probably be an Airbnb for many years. I probably would not want random idiots playing with fire inside the house. So a marine-grade gas grill, a kamado, a high-powered burner, and a fish cleaning station would be far more likely to come to fruition.
Attjack just build it in, then brick or wall it off so it's there when you move in down the road. Cheaper to build around it than it is to build it in later.
I cannot imagine having to have a roaring fire going in the kitchen in Houston (assuming that's the firebox and the smoke is being drawn into the compartments somehow). It's already about the most disgusting climate in the country (lived there 14 years in two stints so am not just speculating), so to add a huge heat source like that makes no sense to me!
Your are not wrong. We've lived in this house for nineteen years. We've used the fireplace probably only 5-6 times. I'm almost scared to turn it on (gas fired) now due to all of the dust and disuse. We didn't even dare try to turn it on during the major freeze last year.
I am so glad I don’t live in or around a big city. Our house is 1250 sq. ft. with a full finished basement (We can’t consider it living space because it does not have an outside access from the basement) and our house is half that price.
