Good morning yall,
My name is Casey Holcomb. I am new to the site. I just joined yesterday and I am very excited to look through the forums and learn some things.

I am about to start my first ever smoker build. I have been smoking meats now for about 14 years on a standard backyard type smoker.
I competed in a bbq cook off competition last weekend and my team did pretty well. Now I am hooked. I haven't stopped thinking about how I want to build my smoker trailer for the competitions I want to do.

Last night I bought an older flat bed trailer that I believe was an old RV camper someone converted into a flatbed trailer.
I am just using it for the frame anyway. I was thinking about using a boat trailer but I only paid $200 for this trailer and I kinda like the Idea of having it on a flat bed. I plan on building tables and having everything easily accessible.

Im not going for the best in show look but I just want everything to be an easy process for loading and unloading.

I decided to go with a 250 gallon propane tank for the cooking chamber. I plan on getting that next month. I have to kinda space things out so I don't get in trouble from the wife for spending all our money lol.

Anyway gents I am glad to be here.
smoke on!!!

Welcome and looking forward to seeing your build. Lots of good folk here.

Welcome to the crew!


There are lots of options with that size cooker. Warmer/CC over the FB seems to be a favorite. Reverse flow vs off set is another cabinet doors vs counter weights. The ideas just keep coming.

Welcome aboard - I'm anxious to see your project!

Welcome Casey "Texas?" where abts...you want to meet several of the guys that built this site and/or have vastly contributed to it come on over to the gathering April 20-23. After the weekend you will think you've known these guys for years...Frank, Czar, Smokin Tum, Rodcrafter, BigT (I'm looking fwd'd to meeting him)...and many more. There will be more smoker building knowledge together at one time than you can dream of. Truly solid fellas! All you have to do is show up...already have rooms. Just south of I20 between Shreveport/Bossier City and Minden, LA.
Prolly most importantly you will get to see MACK in itself on flesh (well steel)....very sweet setup!
If you can make it I would hold off buying a propane tank until you can see MACK. Just my opinion and m2cw...

Glad to have you onboard Casey.
Like RC said, your options are almost unlimited. Browse around the various builds on the forum and get some ideas before you commit to any particular design.
