Mounting Spicewine in Horse Trailer
Loading and unloading my medium Spicewine in and out of my 5x10 enclosed for comps is proving to be a pain in the rear. It's usually just me loading so I've been looking at getting a small horse trailer to permanently mount the spice. I came across this on CL for $1500 and thought it might work. I like how the wheels are far back since the spice will be mounted at the rear. Is there anything I should look for/keep in mind while looking? I know nothing about trailers and even less about horse trailers.

I picked up a small electric winch that I can use to assist loading and unloading my medium SW. For the most part, people usually help load it at the end of a comp. Last month we actually had a couple of 20something guys that were spectators just walk ofer and help us load it in the trailer.
And my 6x10 enclosed trailer is waterproof and has a/c!

We have a 120v winch (= no battery) that we load my stump clone with. We usually have power somewhere but I also pack my Honda generator. That smoker has to weigh over 1000#. Could you ever get a horse trailer clean?

Mounting a charcoal cooker inside of anything is very dangerous for many reasons. Fire, carbon monoxide, etc. Do not cook indoors with that cooker without the right safety equipment.

A winch is a pretty good idea. Any recomendations?
And no I'm not giving pony rides.

I was looking at a Warn PullzAll on Amazon. A bit more than $60 but Warn is known good brand so I don't mind spending a little more. Anybody ever used one of these?

Are you always going to have access to an electric plug in?
This is the one I went with. http://www.harborfreight.com/camoufl...ead-95912.html They have others. I've used it twice to load my med SW. I can unload solo with no prob, and I have a herniated disc and a bad knee right now. I used my battery from my boat when I need it. But I havn't touched it the past 2 comps due to those willing to help at load up time.

When looking at buying a horse trailer, I found the following:
1. check the wheel bearings, many horse owners ignore them. 2. check that axles and trailer tongue are square. 3. check that floor is sound, urine and manure can do a job on floor and sub-floor. 4. rust forms in two location other than floor, check base of walls and where roof meets walls.

I think I'm going to stick with my current set up, a 5x10 enclosed trailer that I will winch the spice in (once I get a winch). I've never had a problem loading/unloading at comps, it's at home where it's just me and loading solo is a pain. With a winch I can load/unload and still use the trailer to sleep in. Thanks for the help gents, I appreciate it.

The best thing to do is to call Josh from Good Smoke BBQ to help you load and unload it...That's what we do.
