On a patio model or restaurant model on skids, I get needing doors on a specific side due to the arrangement of where the pit is going. However, on a trailer smoker, why do most of them have doors on the driver's side of the trailer (left)?
Simple me, with trailers I always put ratchet straps and boomers on the passenger side so, when I stop to check things, they are always on the side away from traffic and are easier to see in a mirror if one gets loose. Granted, I doubt I will ever drive up to a parking space with a sidewalk to smoke from but, it would seem passenger side doors would be good on a trailer offset pit as well.
What am I missing? I asked Austin Smokeworks when I was there and they said essentially that almost everything has left/driver's side doors for some reason they weren't really aware of and didn't recall the last right/passenger side trailer smoker that left the shop.
