After talking to cheeze this fall about his build got me to thinking about a offset smoker that I built a few years back that never worked real well , So I got out some paper and drew up a idea for a trailer smoker / fryer that I could move around better and get some use out of, It will have a burner eye on it for doing low country boils a fryer for doing the fish fry's and lots of room to smoke in. One of the hardest things for me to do was not to make it to big that I could not fire it up on a weekend smoking around the house. The fire box on the original was too small "12x12" so it had to be modified so it would support the extra room of a rib box and a reverse flow design,,added a rib box, fryer on the side, and installed the baffle plate on the inside...

Well with the weather the work has been slow but the grill is 95% done now to start on the trailer to mount it all on,, This thing is built like a tank if I can get it to work right it should be smoking pork for a bunch of years...

Thought I would share it with you guys ,
What do you think??
oh, one other thing I work in the steel mill down in Cartersville, and everything on this build came out of the scrap yard,, its amazing what people throw away...Only thing im going to have to get from the store is, tires, temp guages,gas regulator, and the fryer baskets...
Cant wait to see it huffing blue smoke..
