TQ and Tyler 250 signature series trailer build

TuscaloosaQ · Oct 2, 2012

Well we just buit this for a local contractor and have decided to call this our signature series. there will eventually be a pro and and deluxe model we are actually kinda just getting started and our cookers have been performing very well

the back of our trailers have a step in, this allows us to shift our cooker either way before welding down and gives us the desired tongue weight we like.

we cut our firebox and and warming chamber out as one unit, this saved on welding and sped up the process

the cutout on thhe warmer at the bottom gives easy accesss to wash and clean warmer out. The warmer door has a piece added to it to close this section off

Tyler cutting the doors, they sprung some then I got on the phone to my Buddy Kam and he headed me back in the right direction (Kam is a master at cookers and has helped me tremendously(

looking at the inside grease trap. This is welded soild and you could actually close the ball valve and fill with water if you chose to.

making the fit to the cook chamber

We decided to strap the top,weld the hinges and complete the cutting peocess

What diameter pipe did you use for the chimney?

Funky D · Oct 2, 2012

Looks great!

Question for people who have this type of setup:

My offset has a large barrel, and a pretty thick firebox. To get my temps up high enough in the barrel, the top of my firebox is really, REALLY hot. In a design like this, wouldn't that make the heat in the chamber too hot to cook anything, except maybe chickens?

OK. I'm impressed now. Officially impressed.

bluetang · Oct 2, 2012

Gorgeous!

TuscaloosaQ · Oct 2, 2012

KBird, the chimney is 6" pipe 35" tallnit drafts excellent.

Funky D I am not sure are you talking about my design or your cooker. I tis hard to say cause I do not know what kinda temps we are talking about. Personally I like reverse flow much better than an offset

bluetang thanks the contractor wanted crimson on the trailer and I really like it. Does anyone on this site know where to get high temp paint that can be custom colored for the cook chamber. I see cookers like this and would love to try and custom paint some. We do all our painting ourselves

TuscaloosaQ · Oct 2, 2012

TuscaloosaQ - Try Goolsby Customs in Bessemer. I think he will custom mix any color high temp paint that you need. You may want to check with a body shop in your area first though since that will be closer. I have had Goolsby and Pleasant Grove collision mix custom high temp colors for me in the past.

By the way, the cooker looks great! You guys do fabulous work. What size grates are those?
I'm probably going to give you a call this week and come grab a tank from you.

OutlawSwine · Oct 2, 2012

Are you using 2x3 rectangular tubing for the trailer frame? It looks beefy.

TuscaloosaQ · Oct 2, 2012

OutlawSwine thanks for the tip on the paint. And yes we use tubing on all our trailers actually that is 2by4 11gauge normally we use 2by three but I had the 4" and went with it. You can get a tank anytime you want just let me know. The grates or made of 1" angel 1/4" angel thick using 3/4" #9 flat wire

Porcine Perfection · Oct 2, 2012

That is bad @ss brother.

neuyawk · Oct 2, 2012

Beautiful!

TuscaloosaQ · Oct 2, 2012

neuyawk,JP7794,tortaboy,:grin: thanks to all of you guys who took time to look and for the nice comments. It kinda lets you know your doing an exceptable job and people like it. Cookers are fun to build and hopefully one day it will become a big part of what we do. May people have contributed their thoughts and concepts and i listen attentively to each and everyone. Noone has a monoply on knowing it all it is an accumulation of a lot of thoughts and process. I am blessed to have a young son who is willing you help Dad out Thank's Tyler you are an excellent son and fabricator and Dad appreciates all you do!!!!! We buttt heads and I except the fact that that is part of the process. But at the end of the day It is all good!!

deguerre · Oct 2, 2012

It's the attention to details that you and your boy have got.
Perfect example:

That door recess...Need I say more?

TuscaloosaQ · Oct 2, 2012

deguerre.... Thank's brother to me the door sytem we use allows for no warpage and it seals really good. It by far beats slapping a piece of plate againt a piece of plate, and eliminates the use of any stiffners on the doors. We use the same setup on our firebox. I have no secerets and and do not care at all if someone mimmicks what i do. To me it is all about people helping people who have the desire to cook and build. Again thanks for the comments!!!
