BBQ Food Truck questions
What smokers are good to place into a Food Truck? Do most BBQ Food Truck smoke their meat somewhere and just place in warmers in their truck to sell that day or do they smoke all day?

I've seen quite a few different smokers on food trucks, stickburners, gas and electric. It all depends on personal preference. I think most food trucks smoke on the meat on the truck, better quality that way and nothing sells BBQ better than the smell of smoke!

Part of it depends on what your health dept will allow. I think Big Belly is right, a SP just seems to fit the bill for a truck.

BBQ Food Truck questions
I've been eyeing a J&R Mfg Little Red Smokehouse. I'll posts link later. This is a completely wood fired oven/smoker. The problem is, it weighs 2200#. :(

A restaurant trick...
No smoking necessary. Dust some ribs, put in a pan with liquid smoke, cover, and place in an oven. Finish on a grill if they have one. Probably most on this site has eaten ribs prepared this way but not know it. |

Please serve your meat this way, so I know where to never eat BBQ from.

yes, bryan is correct on the weight, our sp 500 weighs about 1,400..the 700 about 1,800....Donies sp 350 about 1,100 and I am guesing ole hickory is the same..However a great rotisierie, wood / propane fired and produces great real BBQ...Use as a holding oven, prep oven etc..other ovens are good also, just have to figure what fits your set up and talk to owners and visit before buying..

also remember the smoke and pulling the meat out of the smoker is part of the show..

Check with your local Health District/Department BEFORE you purchase the smoker. We have a HD in this state that will not ever approve a tow behind smoker for any mobile food vendor in their County.
