Hey all
I am new to this site, but I have been backyard smoking for some time. Earlier this summer I decided to take it up a notch and custom build a trailer smoker. Used a 5 ft piece of 30'' pipe for my chamber with a 24"x24" fire box. I used it once a few weeks ago to season it and make sure I didnt have to make any drastic changes prior to blasting and painting. Overall I was extremely happy with the performance (plus the pork butt was amazing).
Due to the amount of $$$ I have put into this rig, I have decided that I cant back down now and do a crappy paint job (go big or go home right?). I have been looking into several painting/coating options. I am pretty sure I am going to have the fire box and smoke chamber ceramic coated (just on the exterior). Then paint the rest of the trailer. I have seen alot of people toy with the idea, but I havent found anyone who has actually done it. It is expensive (which is probably why no one has done it), but I think it will look amazing and will also help to keep the heat inside the smoker.
Anyone have any knowledge on ceramic coating, pros/cons, etc. All help is much appreciated. Love the site!! Working on uploading pics of the rig, but I am new to the process so give me some time.
