First of all there are many people here who can help you, I myself have several builds under my belt and any question you have feel free to ask. Remember there are no dumb questions. Me and my son are both highly skilled fabricators, but cookers were never our speciality. We learned from others and looking at other builds, I never wanted to copy anyone just take a bunch of ideas and bring them together. Look at some of our builds and other peoples and ask questions. Good luck and remember the only dumb queations are the ones we never ask cause they lead to goo fy mistakes.. Again welcome and good luck
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. Where on this site is the best place to look at the different builds? I could probably figure out this one on my own if I looked but figured I would take the easy way out and ask. Thanks again!

Welcome RAW!
Personally I specialize in goofy mistakes - just check out my builds.
As you'll notice from my threads even a blind pig can find a truffel once in a while...
Please ask away - like to spend other people's money and help them avoid pitfalls whenever possible.
I would estimate that if you quit your day job you could read all the threads on this site in just under 2 weeks...
Just remember, DC and Frank are great at remembering where stuff is at on here so ask and they can prolly point you in the right direction - they've bailed me out more than once...

Go to the trailer build section/ there is some good stuff in there..... Those guys kinda fly under the radar and get left out... They are reverse flow smoker trailer builders and I think they are top knotch!!!!!

So I was all set to get started with my build this weekend and then a friend tells me this morning that she can get me a free 500 gal propane tank. After reading a bunch on here it seems like the propane tanks are thicker material and better for building a quality smoker. Would guys say this is definitely the way to go?
A little about me, I am a Le Cordon Bleu Chef and have been in the food service industry for over 10 years. Any questions about food I will answer to the best of my knowledge.
Ok boys.....I found 325gal propane tank and the guy will also throw in a 125 gal propane tank with it. I was a little worrie the 500 would be a bit large for my trailer anyway....so I was thinking the 325 might be good. Thoughts? Thanks for the input!
Ive started skeching a basic layout for the trailer and I think Im going to try and do a RF smoker on one side of hthe trailer with the 325 and a propane cooker on the other with the 125. If room permits Id like to add a propane burner for lighting the charcoal, etc... not sure Ill have room. We'll see.
