Oooooo, keep us updated. I hated selling my tank, but it was just way too big and would have had nowhere to store it once it was put on the trailer. Sure would like to see some pics if ya got em.

Looking great..... Mine is still there just haven't figured it up on how to fill it with 1000 gallons of water without breaking the bank.

Very sharp! I would love to have a small trailer mounted rig.

Not implying yours is small, just meant I would like a smaller one.

BobBrisket · 03-28-2011, 03:38 PM

That is AWESOME!!! Thanks for keeping us updated.

Water and soap are cheap compared to the fatal alternative

Very nice looking rig

bluetang · 03-28-2011, 03:54 PM

Fine lookin' smoker!

Oldskull · 03-28-2011, 06:40 PM

that's a work of art.

CockedandLocked · 03-28-2011, 07:18 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys. Just something an ol country boy on a budget threw together on a spur of the moment cause what I had wasnt big enough for a couple of local venues.

Ive seen some pretty sweet rigs on these forums that makes mine look like scrap iron

Still need to incorporate my Discadia and a Santa Maria style grill that will nest into the storage/wood box.

vhram · 03-28-2011, 08:07 PM

Thats a great looking trailer. Id love to have one just like it one day.

Great smoker, that is a work of art...... nicely done
