Big day yesterday. I got the smoker set on the trailer. I went ahead and set the twin on there to balance out the trailer. Man it looks good. Now for paint.
I got the trailer primed and painted my favorite color (John Deere Green) next I have to put the decking down and then I can set the first smoker on it. Just in time first it's first location cook at my churches picnic June 10.
Nice I found your post about insulating the Firefox. Your smoker looks awesome. I wondered about insulating mine but a few extra logs on the fire is the cheaper option for me at this point. Have you read franklins book? It is really good and if I remember correctly he talks about his reasoning...
It's a tandem axle the axles are mobile home axles so I'm not sure of the weight capacity. I originally wanted to do a single axle but tandem axles have more stability. In the picture I just a hadn't gotten the second set of wheels on yet. What kind of smoker are you building?
Here is a pic of...
I'm not sure. I'm putting two 500 gal tanks on the trailer so I figure each of them weighs about 1500
So maybe 4000 total but then add wood to smoke with I would say 5000-6000 fully loaded.
I got the trailer welded up and the axles installed. I still have to get my electric brake hubs installed and the second set of wheels. The trailer measures pretty square can't wait to see how it pulls. Then I'll set the smoker on the trailer.
Sorry the picture is blurry.
