Got my order in for a LSG Mini IVS, been too long since I sold my LSG 24x48 and I'm ready to smoke something! The Kamado Joe just doesn't cut it. Used to use my 16' trailer to haul everything around, but I have gotten rid of it so I am mulling over some options for the new Mini.
I don't do comps, but I am hoping to cook for some parties or smaller events in the next year or so (wife graduates med school in may so no more OT for me:clap
.
I know with the Mini I don't need a huge trailer, nor do I want one. But I am thinking with the height it will exclude enclosed because I don't want a 6x12. So with open utility trailers, I was thinking if it would be a good idea to have half of the floor done in steel and half wood. My thought process is that when I bring it to work to cook or tailgating that I could just level the trailer off/level the Mini on the trailer and not have to worry about taking it off. My concern is cooking on a wooden floor.
Has anyone actually cooked on their trailer that isn't a dedicated vending/concession trailer? The cooking on a wooden floor just screams fire to me, and it should. But I was thinking of a smaller 5x10 maybe car hauler style trailer. Metal floor at least half of it, and that is where the cooking would take place. I could put a table next to the smoker and be set without ever unloading. Any recs, advice, or first hand experiences would be great!
