Build steps and tools

  1. Measure and set out

    Measure the frame, batten and board sections you bought and enter them, with the footprint and height of your generator. Check the cut list and the clearance above the generator before cutting.

    Tape measure, square and pencil.

    tape measuresquaremarking pencil
  2. Cut the frame and boards

    Cut the four posts with their tops at the roof pitch, then the rails and battens. Bevel the top edge of the front and back top rails. Cut the boards: the side boards get sloping tops and the last board on each face is ripped to width.

    Mitre saw or handsaw for crosscuts; circular, table or rip saw for the bevels and rips.

    mitre sawhandsawcircular sawtable sawhand rip saw
  3. Build the frame

    Screw the side rails between the posts, then the front and back rails. Lay the floor boards on the bottom rails. Cut the rod notches, then screw the drip-tray runners, shelf runners and rod bearers to the post faces at the listed heights.

    Drill/driver with pilot and countersink bits, and clamps.

    drill driverdrill bitcountersink bitclamp
  4. Clad, roof and cut the vents

    Screw the boards to the rails, back boards last so they cover the ends of the side boards. Fix the roof board and cover it with felt. Bore the vent rows and the probe hole, then fit the slide plates in their guides.

    Drill/driver and driver bit; hole saw for the vents.

    drill driverdriver bithole saw
  5. Make the trays, shelves and door

    Fold the two tray blanks. Build the shelf frames and staple the mesh on top. Build and board the door, fit the seal loop to the front frame and hang the door so it presses on the seal.

    Shears and a bench vice or folder for the steel; staple gun and wire cutters for the mesh; screwdriver for the hinges and hasp.

    shearsstaple gunwire cuttersscrewdriver
  6. Check before use

    Stand the generator on the base tray. Check the fire clearance around and above it, the base tray steel, how smoke draws through the vents, and the door and vent seals. Choose and check a food process separately.

    A physical check; the model covers geometry only.

Tools by operation

Before you build

An original design. Fire clearance around the generator and its tray, the base tray steel, smoke draw, door and vent sealing, and any food process need physical checking. Cold smoking is the design intent; the model gives no temperatures or times.

  • An original design. Fire clearance around the generator and its tray, the base tray steel, smoke draw, door and vent sealing, and any food process need physical checking. Cold smoking is the design intent; the model gives no temperatures or times.
  • Frame, boards, sloping roof, trays, shelves and rods follow the model. Vent and probe holes are cut through the boards and slide plates. Mesh is a translucent surface. The generator is a box standing in for the bought unit; hinges, hasp and handle are position markers. Rod notches and slide-guide rebates are listed in the cuts, not drawn.
  • Fixed proposals: 40 mm of tray around the generator, 50 mm smoke gaps in front of and behind the drip tray, 3 mm shelf clearance each side, a 12 mm × 4 mm door seal and 1 mm vent slide plates.
  • Clear inside is 486 mm × 443 mm. 3 shelves sit 180 mm apart above the drip tray, with 286 mm between the top shelf and the rod bearers.
What the 3D model leaves out

Frame, boards, sloping roof, trays, shelves and rods follow the model. Vent and probe holes are cut through the boards and slide plates. Mesh is a translucent surface. The generator is a box standing in for the bought unit; hinges, hasp and handle are position markers. Rod notches and slide-guide rebates are listed in the cuts, not drawn.

Taking the model apart separates parts for inspection; it is not an assembly order.
