New smoker

BBQfirefighter148 · Jul 24, 2013

Hey everyone I am hoping you guys can help. I am looking for a new smoker to purchase I have about $1000 to spend. I want a reverse flow that can do about 2-3 butts 1-2 briskets and maybe 2-3 racks of ribs. I have been searching everywhere trying to find something decent. Please help if you know of anywhere.

Also would like to have it on a trailer or the ability to mount it to a trailer.

Do a home build for a 1000 you could have the world on a trailer

Was thinking about that but don't have the welding skills or tools to do that

Not sure how far that is from you but Meadow Creeks make a great smoker, just $$ however this is a pretty good deal from one of their dealers and it is fresh paint from Meadow Creek.

Finding a reverse flow trailer model for $1000 is going to be a tall order unless you build for yourself

In starting to get that feeling. I'd even be happy with a offset really doesn't have to be reverse flow

As it sits I have $450 in this smoker and that's with new tires

What did you make it from

Armadillo · Jul 24, 2013

300 gal fuel tank the firebox is a water tank off a cement tuck trailer was a pop up camper
I got the deck metal from the scrap yard

BBQfirefighter148 · Jul 24, 2013

That is a nice rig

samfsu · Jul 24, 2013

From what you are saying you want to cook, why dont u get a WSM 22.5" and save $600.

Armadillo · Jul 24, 2013

That's why if you could find a friend that could weld you could build your own and add what you want for yourself

samfsu · Jul 24, 2013

Oops i reread and maybe u want to do all that at the same time

The other issue is I couldn't even find a gas tank the size I need for under $500. This state everything is so dam expensive

I would search daily for a used Lang on Craigslist.

BBQfirefighter148 · Jul 24, 2013

That's goal now but not to many people up north would even know what that is

Have you looked at Horizon Smokers? They sell them at bass pro shops, and many places online. Not a reverse flow, but they do make an optional deflector shield that evens out heat. 1/4 steel all throughout so it should be pretty good.

I've seen them cheaper on some other websites occasionally too

samfsu · Jul 24, 2013

How about buying two WSM 22.5"ers and have a shop fabricate a cart for it? Still likely be cheaper than 1000.

Or instead of an offset, why not a vertical smoker?
