Bar-Be-Que Concession Trailers
Hello,
I'm thinking of building a Bar-Be-Que Concession Trailer and wonder how many people here have them? How did you build them and what would be the one thing they would do over again if they were to start from the beginning again? Photo's inside and out would be great! Thank you, Smoky Bear |

[quote=C Rocke;1009672]Start with the HD first. They can give you the standards there, requirements, and rules around operation. That will determine what's best for you.[/quote]
Thanks C Rocke. Yeah I could do that and have it built to what they are asking and when I'm living at a different place I should exspect the local HD bring in their view points to me? really asking if any of the membersio have them. Thanks, Smoky Bear |

If you don't have the trailer yet, expect about 15K to get started. Commercial fridge is over $1k alone. If I had to do it again I'd have a trailer where I could mount all 3 FE's plus a grill under a roof plus the 16 foot enclosed kitchen. Here's a link to the Michigan application. It's not as strict as a number of States. http://www.accesskent.com/Health/Hea...PlanReview.pdf

Thanks, Smoky Bear [/quote] I had ours built AFTER talking to the HD. You could of course just build and then have to tear everything out when it doesn't pass inspection. But to each his own. You can do a search on trailers here and get a wealth of information but it doesn't sound as though you want to do any leg work.

You wrote "it doesn't sound as though you want to do any leg work" thats wrong. I'm just asking if I build it while I live here in Florida and it is according to not only Florida's and my counties HD Spec'd and in six months I'm living in somewhere in the Southweast! My question does one State HD dictate a different setup from each another. Give me a break here, thats the reason I'm asking here before I even build it. I want to hear from other members where they put their tanks.... Front or Back? Did they make it out of wood siding or a cargo trailer. I have seen many different varieties on the Net and wanted to see what the people say here. Another thing, my writting here is a part of my LEG WORK! Smoky Bear |

There are alot of pics of my rig in the roadside vending thread. I didn't build my I had it built but once you start working in you begin to see what you should have done differently. Go check out some at local fairs and see how they are set up and how they work while they are busy.

I built mine from a gutted camper. Not many creature comforts, but it's paid for. When I save enough, I will hope to pay for a nicer one with ca$h.

Go to your local HD and get an application for a plan review FIRST!
I built this myself...
