This trailer was built in 2012. It’s based on a Carter 4x8 utility trailer. The two Backwoods are from that era too - a 2012 Chubby with stainless door upgrade. The Backwoods Competitor has the professional fire box upgrade. Both cookers have a little superficial rust, nothing critical or debilitating though - they have a lot of years left in them. There is also a 18.5” WSM


The Competitor water pan drains out under the trailer for your convenience. The electrical system, lighting system, fire starting system - everything is completely integrated for a good, tight, BBQ competition experience.


As mentioned, the trailer is 4x8 single axle platform, so it’s a very light, tight and easily maneuverable for cooking pro-comp KCBS or backyard events - this trailer has been to the American Royal Invitational, and the most coveted Jack Daniels invitational BBQ Competitions.


There is a wind shielded propane charcoal lighter / pot boiler mounted to the front of the trailer and connected to a standard propane bottle behind the shield plate. Storage for utensils is provided by 5 gallon buckets secured in place with a ring - same as the propane bottle. Buckets also provide water retrieval for the cookers - they are water cookers.


Custom fold-down shelves provide work space and latch in the vertical position for transport.


Trailer is reinforced under the floor board to compensate for cut-out where the Competitor is mounted. This reinforcement has survived the test of time, potholes and speed-bumps. A Fold down tailgate provides enough extra space for the working with the WSM and forced air induction systems. All three smokers are setup to accept forced air systems.


Electricity is provided by a retractable extension cord mounted under the trailer corner. Just pull the cord out from it’s reel, plug it into the wall and you have an energized quad outlet mounted in the space under the chubby. When you’re done just let the cord real back in.
