    My First Build - 120 Gallon on a trailer

    So I broke in the new smoker this weekend. I rolled my first fatty! I hadn't even heard of a fatty before I joined this site, they were awesome! Also did a brisket for 14 hours, 4 racks of ribs and a pile of stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon. Was a huge success and the smoker works like a champ.

    The magnetic bar thing is a great idea! Found a set of magnetic trailer lights at Harbor Freight for $20, already wired just drop 'em on and plug 'em in. Nice call JckDanls 07

    My First Build - 120 Gallon on a trailer

    That's too funny, we were listening to C.W. McCall's Convoy on the Jukebox last night for inspiration. That and Alabama's Roll on. I think I'm gonna go with Creator Savants suggestion and name it "The Big Rig BBQ" Then I'm going to put a small line of type on the shelf in front that says "Roll...

    My First Build - 120 Gallon on a trailer

    Hey Dave, the camshaft is out of a Detroit Diese semi enginel. I had to cut off about 6inches of it to fit between the stacks. The stacks are off a freightliner, the handle for the cooking chamber and firebox are off a freightliner cab grab bars and the front shelf is a semi step. I'm not a...

    My First Build - 120 Gallon on a trailer

    Well thanks to everybody who helped and commented. Couldn't have done it without all the tips and insights on where to get info. I finished painting last night. Still may need to wire up the lights but don't want them to melt, not sure how close I can get.  Everything else is pretty much...

    My First Build - 120 Gallon on a trailer

    Not positive what I'll do with the lights yet, my initial thought is that I may mount them on top of the fenders because I know the one will melt for sure since my smoker is offset to the one side of the trailer, only about 5" away from the hottest part of the firebox.

    You are right about the two stacks, one is for looks. The other one I did put in a 5" chimney pipe damper plate. I hope I didn't screw that up where I put it, the chimney goes down into the cooking chamber to about the middle cooking rack and is cut at a 45 degree angle inside. Worst case...

    My First Build - 120 Gallon on a trailer

    So I took Monday off work this week and spent most of the weekend working on it. I started about 3 weeks ago and should mostly finish tonight. I've spent most nights after work and every weekend on this thing, I'm on the home stretch. Last coat of paint goes on the cooking chamber tonight hopefully.
