BUILDING A SMOKEHOUSE - Wood Fired Smoked Salmon, part 1 | Preparing for WINTER (FIREWOOD) - Ep. 141

hold this [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] [Applause] wow it didn't hit the ginkgo did it no cool how was that nicole that was uh that was crazy it was a good cut it went where you wanted it to go but the sound of it going down was intense hey wow um [Music] ah uh this is like a 30 foot long plank that i'm going to cut in half and use them in 15 feet 15 foot pieces i don't know if the camera can pick up how long that board is out of this douglas fir and uh you know it's very fresh you guys saw me down the tree so i'm not gonna put it like in the yurt where the wood stove is going to dry the wood out and crack it i'm going to use an outdoor setting so it'll dry slow it's going to be used for the roof of the bunkie we haven't finished that yet notice i've never shown you the back side of the pizza oven because i haven't finished the roof there i do have the compost bags you saw me recycle has a waterproof rain membrane so those are blocking water from getting into the the structure over the pizza oven same with the bunkie but i got to put the wood on top of that membrane so i'm finishing the pizza oven finishing the bunkie we're going to put up a second bunkie and then we're going to take the rest just wouldn't use it to build a um a smokehouse for smoking our own salmon because the salmon are running right now and then smoke it ourselves the traditional way in a smokehouse using just flame and smoke you're gonna see that go right there so i don't know i'm just i just feel really good that i do have to go to town and then stock up on gas and i have about seven containers of gas that i number and i rotate through in a cycle so i always use fresh gas but besides that it's just my my muscles that has to make these boards and i know a lot of you in these comments talk about how the price of lumber is so high right now and i'm doing this pretty much for free and i just i'm really i'm really feeling blessed and fortunate that you know i've got two really nice resources out here one of those resources is rain water and then well water so i have water out here is just a plentiful beautiful resource and wood i have i mean i'm only really living with nicole here on two acres of our property of our nearly 20 acres and just on these two acres we have unlimited wood forever because by the time we get through one part the other part will grow again so we can adjust the other 18 acres we can just preserve it and let nature be how nature's going to be and i just love this property a lot and i'm really happy that this place of my birth in british columbia i was able to leave for a while and meet nicole and then return here as an adult with some skills and i just feel like i'm supposed to be here and i just love that nature is giving me water and wood two of the five chinese elements so super blessed bro that's my spot scoot over and there you go and you got some tomatoes i'm gonna mix it is that getting your baby kicking thank you wow you're welcome i didn't eat that one well here you um need extra nutrients that's for you thanks well look what i found all the incredible garden tomatoes are like they're all starting to ripen now so the black ones are honestly really tough to tell when they're ready but look at how these ones are just been like a choice variety let's see if i have the variety still on these honestly that'd be a good sauce tomato that's not a very good fresh eating man what nothing like how i eat this one's golden king of siberia and just like i'm gonna touch it and it's just gonna fall right off of there so soft you go cut that one you can see it hmm what do you think is um the ash of the fires that like a biochar i mean it looks to me like it's just minerals so i mean technically it's just minerals a biochar remineralizing the soil should you be singing the chimney sweep song from mary poppins never any reason everybody run every time i knew you would know that song that's how we do so [Music] um [Music] [Music] um uh [Music] uh how's it looking in there looking stacked so [Applause] hello so so so so so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] uh [Music] you got the indigo rose and they look so good these black tomatoes but i don't think they're right yet it's hard to tell especially in our environment it like slowly becomes cool and then hangs on so they don't ever get that shock it's time to ripen up so we'll see what happens gusto italia it's got like cool stripes but we've been really happy with like i love cherokee purple tomatoes they're an heirloom variety and i didn't plant them right we did plant the neighbor also brought us over some beef steak and uh so like these these uh yellow cherries the exact variety is called a galena tomato i mean come on that's really good but we've got a few of the larger varieties coming up that we'll um put on this pizza today so that one looks pretty good there's a different variety you know this one's good because the bird took a peck and i think i'm gonna pick this one because so there's some good size ones to go with the cherries these guys aren't quite ready yet and these guys are like this kind of pinkish purple as hue my hands are all dirty i'm sorry i've been working on that smokehouse these are really good so let's bring these over combine them with the cherry and we'll have them all in the pizza we didn't put any fence around the garden this year i did put out four really bright like 1 000 lumen uh solar powered spotlights and they're all pointing at the tomatoes in the garden so if even like a bird flies past at night all these lights turn on but no electric fence and no deer fence and we haven't had any deer or bear eat the tomatoes so just the fact that i'm eating them i thought for sure every night i was gonna wake up and these are all gonna be trampled by a bear so i'm just happy but they're not every day that they're ripening is like i feel lucky and blessed and fortunate for some pizza let's see your dough i needed it and now it's proving nice and these have been in there for about a minute i'm ready to turn them so i go in there i pull them out give them a little spin throw them back in [Music] all right there you go thank you goodbye now bye see ya rate this pizza one to ten it's really good now we did a really good job hey what's this hot sauce in front of you you gotta show it it's the bomb beyond insanity did you put that on your pizza no you did though it was good i think we did a really good job with everything and the garden fresh tomatoes i mean is a bonus yeah from our own garden it's a 10. it's good everything else fails in comparison okay this one is crazy because we made it really saucy with extra tomatoes from the garden really hot ooh it's really hot here if let's say i melted my melt my face off that one's good so when it's extra tomatoey and cheesy and i cooked it extra uncomfortable that's a ten point 15. i'm really good [Music] okay [Music] foreign so so part of the fun of being out here is that i wake up each day and i just think how do i want to design something or how do i want to build something and i have certain resources here i have unlimited wood i have unlimited water and i'm able to find gravel and sand but not unlimited of that so it's sexy to build things out of wood because it's all around and it's perpetual like by the time that i knock a few trees down and i build something with those trees uh the ones next door grow back so like you know even if you have 20 acres and you only draw trees from one of those 20 acres there's no way that i can use up that full acre so the the acreage continues to replenish itself it's a self-perpetuating cycle of endless wood with this smoker i have the logging road which is ancient and it slopes low where the natural earth is and then it comes up so now i'm at the top of that logging road we we built the yurt on the very top of that road that's why we don't have a lot of risk of flood damage i'm not building a very heavy structure the pizza oven you guys saw me build the wood fired brick and cob a pizza oven is so heavy i don't even i can't even fathom how heavy that is but this one's not that heavy it's just gonna be you know one or two rows of block and then the wood house you guys will see if you keep watching so i'm going to use the slope i'm going to light the fire down there and let the heat rise naturally with the slope do i take a bunch of this sand and gravel i just layer it up really thick to kind of level out the terrain here and the sand and the gravel will you know not get washed away because i'm gonna have a roof on this thing protecting it from the elements and uh this logging road is so high we don't get the river effect happening until you go down to the bottom of the logging road that's where that's where the river starts down there the little stream because i want an off-grid method of refrigeration and i know i have a fridge that's powered by batteries that i charge up with solar panels so that's off the grid but this is better because i have unlimited wood i don't have unlimited sun here i think i'm just gonna go for it like this and you guys control me in the comments and i'll troll you back by showing you how it's going to work and it will last for years and years and years and years and years and years and hopefully i'll have a kid that will learn how to do this and they'll be able to enjoy using the smoker that we build for them and they can add to it or build another one [Music] how's that sounding it's good like playground sound [Applause] uh uh uh uh [Laughter] uh uh uh [Applause] uh uh the mallet so [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ready nice job good work babe is it fun doing this together can we have a blue wolf audience there yeah it's like he's sniffing the air for bears or cougars seriously [Music] uh so [Music] uh what are you making i'm gonna make some soup would uh help you yes so pretty thank you thanks love thanks for dinner this whole thing's going to look rough cut because i have no like shop to to mill these out to be perfectly sanded and flushed and nice looking it's like they're gonna look all rough and we have to be really careful that we don't walk on any of the the gravel because there's not enough gravel there in this life i can see like how just the residual moisture has like really made it soft and if this all keeps washing away then i'm going to lose my pound i'm about to bring in more gravel and pile around that like make another two feet of it around so it doesn't keep flushing away right at the edge [Music] i'm gonna have this like an apron house i'm gonna have one inside the roof super long to make like a wood shed on the right and then the left is just to protect the smoker so [Music] [Music] okay do i think we measure wait uh 44 and a half yeah i'll do it 44 and a half you sure yep all right ready okay tap yours in so it's like a little more right there just to get our bearings straight it's gonna be like that yeah what do you think hey don't that fall toward you what do you think i think it's cool it looks like an actual thing yeah you mean we're not just building a concrete little box [Music] [Music] so [Music] okay so i can hold this up to it sometimes hold this and then let go of all this okay [Applause] uh so so ah so [Music] in the back and then the top is going to be the roof bottom's going to be open i'm going to do all the the hanging and tray holders on the inside and the door ugh ugh um [Music] [Music] wow [Music] um let's just make this the same what about that right there all right one more then this side is done i think what do you think so far i mean it looks good when i it's starting to be more structural when i get everything put together and i get um complete the frame here this will be a wood firewood storage you know they don't know you know once i connect it here then it will be all one unit because right now it's like kind of wobbly but okay and you made these awesome wispy bundles you look real cute in your jacket thank you i feel short on the downhill here can you light it and see what happens what do you think's gonna work um i don't know because this isn't enclosed so yeah we'll see if it goes oh look yeah there's a purpose one i mean i can see it's working there you go [Music] oh it's working [Music] ah so violent [Music] you
