Man that’s awesome. I’ve always wanted to build a big smoke trailer and go around to tailgates selling food. Do you do a lot of catering/events with it or is it just a hobby?

Like most I started with something small and cheap. Then upgraded along the way. My first trailer was a Lang 60 and I loved cooking on it but soon outgrew that one too.

We have the occasional large party a couple times a year, and I do the occasional wedding rehearsal or the like, but mostly I cook for church and volunteer type events. For example we did a church fundraiser for the preschool program a few weeks ago and cooked 260 butts over 2 days.

I enjoy it and yes it’s a hobby as much as anything. Ive always wanted to try my hand at the competition world just never have done it.

That is sweet...like design better than original.

Thanks. That was what I was aiming for. The cooker has always cooked quite well just never happy with interior access and Lang never quite met my ideas for fit and finish. I have Jambo taste on a Lang budget. So the appearance was as much of the plan as anything.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say I took inspiration from the Shirley cookers. They are fine looking pits.

now I just have to figure out what to call it when people ask what brand of cooker it is. LOL

I have cooked on both Lang and Shirley side by side. Shirley is a better smoker hands down. Everything is well thought out.
