My dad and I have a 4x8 trailer that's been in our back yard for a couple years. It used to be a jet ski trailer but all the parts that hold the jet ski have been removed. I want to turn it into a trailer cooker but I'm not sure what direction I want to take it in.
We already have three trailer cookers...
1) An old stick burning offset smoker on a trailer that is capable of cooking very large amounts of meat.
2) A homemade trailer with a large grille and griddle, propane powered, we used to use it to cook for a snack bar during high school football games.
3) A homemade trailer that holds a large barrel that was cut in half and laid sideways so it's just a big, mobile charcoal grill.
Now, for this new project I'm not really sure where I want to go with it. I'm thinking some sort of combination smoker/grill. I don't compete and I'm not a vendor, I'm building this because I have the trailer and want to work on a project. I do cookouts at different places for lots of people so I'll use it for hosting parties and stuff. Really though, it's just something to do, so I'm open to nearly any ideas. I've thought about a Santa Maria style grill just to have a huge cooking space for grilling but I don't know if I'd utilize it and I really want to explore my options.
My question to you guys, what would you build? Example pictures would be great for inspiration. I've searched for different trailer cookers but I haven't found anything that really grabbed me.
