Smokehouse - AoM: Storehouse Phase I

[Slegengr]

Butcher Birger and his wife Selby use the smokehouse to preserve meat to store for winter.

After cutting up the meat on the butcher's table, the meat is hung on hooks from the poles below the rafters. A fire is kindled below and kept burning with low flames in order to provide steady heat and smoke to dry out the meat and preserve it to provide meat throughout winter, when game is scarce.

Really nice smokehouse, it looks great! The interior detail is very nice and the design in general, especially the roof, is awesome

[Alfadas]

Wow, I wish I could make such roofs... Everything looks very nice, great work once again!!

[vitreolum]

Very nice, both in concept and execution.

[Lord Vladivus]

Love that roof design! Great work!

Nice storehouse, i love the roof :)

[Hobbythom]

Interesting structure! Nice solution for the smoke. Job well done!

[mccoyed]

Nice job on the roof and on the concept. I think that's probably GoH's first smokehouse!

Thanks, LordDan! The roof was the first portion I built, and it inspired the 3-door design. The interior was interesting to make as well.

Thanks, Alfadas. It is simpler than it looks to make such a roof. I just used SNOT bricks to attach plates in a triangular prism and used round corner plates to vary the height of the tiles. Then I tiled everything visible and used details like the shields to cover areas that did not look as good with tiles.

Very nice, both in concept and execution.

Thanks, vitreolum!

Thanks, Hobbythom! The smoke was a quick decision when I could not find my store of the usual smoke element: the 4-scoop ice-cream piece. I think the ice-cream piece works well, but I also think the inverted slopes did the trick here as well.

Thanks, mccoyed! The people of Falkidalr will need meat over winter, and this is the best way of the times to preserve it. I am glad that with each new member comes a little bit more embellishment of GoH.

One of the best roofs ever! Its like a corner piece of a cube placed on top of a house. Awesome idea!

Thanks, Zblj! I am honored that you think it is one of the best, even for its simplicity. It is indeed basically the corner of a cube placed on top of the walls .

That crazy roof somehow works. Blowing my mind man, blowing my mind.

Very unique shape, must have been difficult getting the roof to fit so nicely

A smokehouse is a great idea and not something I've seen done before that I can remember

Thanks, SK! I did play with the shape a bit to make it fit, but it was actually much simpler than I thought when I went to fit them together. The roof is only resting on the walls, not physically attached, though, much to my surprise and entirely without intention, the stud slots on the angled edge of one of the corner plates on the underside of the roof interlock over the studs on the plates atop the wall. This helps prevent the roof from shifting (along with the peaks over the doors).

I thought a smokehouse was fitting for Mitgardia, and I wanted something more than a simple storehouse with "storage" inside.

Wow, excellent techniques on this! I really admire all the angles. Well done!

Great idea and build, Slegengr, excellent roof design

I like the meat hangers and foliage as well, nice take on the store phase I

For improvement I would suggest trying to make the door all one color (probably brown, the tan is a bit bothersome as it is), but you would probably need to change the knob design to do that. I'm not really a fan of the slope-smoke either, as it seems a little blocky.

Very nice build on the whole though

Thanks, Garmadon! I agree that the doors should have been better colored. I could not find some parts when I made the doors, namely: reddish-brown 1x4 tiles, 1x2 tiles, and 1x1 tiles. I really wanted reddish-brown for the doors to differentiate them from the roof. I found them since this build and may make an update to the smokehouse. I also hope to find my 30+ ice-cream pieces to use for the smoke, as was my original intent. They are currently buried in a stack of boxes sorted with components to be used in future steam-punk builds. The slopes were a quick stand-in for now. I appreciate the constructive criticism!

[Jorrith]

That's a lovely smokehouse! Had to look twice at the pictures for all the details, very nicely done indeed! Also love the triangular shape of it.

[de Gothia]

What a great idea! That roof is as said before so epic! Well done!

My only nitpick would be the smoke. It looks unrealistic and the smoke come out in four directions, no wind I assume?

Other than that this is pure eye candy!

Thanks, Jorrith! I am glad you like it. I enjoyed making the triangular shape, except when I went to attach it to the baseplate. (I used illegal connections that show stress in the door frames)

Thanks, de Gothia! The smoke was a quick throw-together when I could not find my ice-cream pieces usually used for smoke. I did make all smoke columns bend in the same direction, but I also made each spread, and the angles look more swirling than bent in the direction of the light wind. I think if I were to try to make this same smoke technique better, I would connect the columns of smoke together at the top to make the wind direction more evident, though I personally was not pleased with this smoke. I plan to update it when I find my ice-cream pieces and retake pictures of the smokehouse. Thanks for the critique!

[Hammerhand]

Really nice idea, and great execution of it! The meat hanging inside is perfect!

I have updated my post to include an image with smoke composed of ice-cream pieces. I like it much better than the slope smoke.
