Use the caboose ?

I've had the same thought many times; moreover, there's a factory up the street a few miles that has both the pipe and the endcaps.

I suspect it would turn out so big as to be impossible to maintain consistent temperatures, not to mention taking hours to load (and think of the counterweight those doors would take!).

Still, it's fun to think about a Tim Taylor smoker.
