Ok so we bought a small frame not very large at all. It's what we could buy with the prize money we won for ribs in WV.
I have been thinking about making it a small enclosed trailer but am unsure how tall I can make it and be able to safely tow it down the road.
The idea is to pack my smokers and supplies in the trailer to keep it in trailer or the trunk of our car. Then have the hatch come down and take out the smokers. Add a fold down prep area inside the trailer and somewhere to just stand inside if a storm kicks up. For lighting and electric I plan to just hang some work lights that have an outlet built in and run electrical cords from the inside out the door to outlets. I figure we will continue to use wash bins and heat our water with a portable burner and a pot for now.
We operate very small smokers and probably will at the most have two 14.5" WSMs, a 22.5" WSM and a 16" vision grills series m kamado.
I was thinking maybe 6' tall to the ceiling. Is that too tall for the small trailer?
Would I be better to just build sides on and not worry about enclosing it? You know just use it as extra space to haul the smokers and continue setting up a canopy and fold up prep tables.
