Boathouse Smokers - Big Black Cabinet

[Czarbecue]

Ahem... it’s a BBC.

I’ve been going back and forth with Boathouse Smokers (brethren Badger Jacob) on this unit since mid February. We finally hammered out the details on a giant cabinet smoker that will have a foot print of 4’x3’. Sent my deposit and he got to work on it starting in April. I plan to pick up the cooker in June.

It’s a larger version of their “double barrel 8 rack” with 14 racks. Each rack is roughly 23”x35”. Instead of the standard sliding intake, I opted for three 2” valves on the each side to control the airflow.

Thanks Smitty for the original post about them.

The Twins are gonna be Sad and Jealous..........:biggrin1:

Pfft... The twins can't even get on the road! I can't wire lights on a trailer if my life depended on it. I actually asked Tyler if he can just add a roof to the Bandera trailer with my spot in line. Still thinking about it... since I have about 9 months until my number is up.

Eventually it will go on the back end of an enclosed trailer. That's like 2-3 years down the line though.

Catering? Comps? Just for Chits n Giggles?

That is really nice! Dig the hip roof. Comps? That is gonna be difficult to move around. I would put the twins on CL, probably get $3k for it based on the crazy prices you normally see.

More of a concession trailer than comps. Not a big fan of comp style barbecue. I like my meats a bit on the fatty side. The twin towers was my first welding project. There’s some sentimental value all up in it but yeah, I may have to sell it if it’s just going to sit on the driveway.

This unit is technically a water cooker. There’s a funnel setup above the charcoal box for water and drippings.

Very nice! I'm not big on naming smokers...generally.

But that one wants to be called "Luther"

Beyooootiful. A high-capacity cooker.

I prefer a unisex name. It’ll be called “Doom” :heh:

Here’s a couple shots with the built in water pan in place. There will be a pipe for adding/discharging liquids and fat :thumb:

The firebox is still almost 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep and has a clearance of 18" before it hits the water pan.

 

[SmittyJonz]

That's ALOT of Pellets.!

 

[SmittyJonz]
