Three weeks after my first food truck was delivered, the commercial smoker on it malfunctioned and burned the truck to the ground — in front of my house.
I decided a smoker was not going back on the new truck. So I'm building one to tow behind it: a 500-gallon reverse flow offset smoker on a 14-foot trailer.
I'd never welded before this. I taught myself to cut, taught myself to weld — and I even took a night welding course at NAIT before attaching the firebox, because that one has to stay on.
All of it has happened in my driveway and my garage, by myself, with an engine hoist to move the heavy pieces and a bit of MacGyver-ing along the way.
The stack is dropped in and the baffle plate is finished. A shelf or two, and she's ready to smoke.

Build photos coming soon.
