Yes there will be a difference in weight, but you arent talking enough to be an issue. I have hauled since 1987, many of those loads were very unbalanced. Look at the RR derailment clean up guys. They haul those side boom dozers all over the county with no ill effect. I know a few guys that have lop-sided cookers that run slightly more pressure in the tires on the heavy side.I have a question about weight distribution. Since obviously the smoker is the heaviest part of this, having the 150 gal grill on the passenger side forces more weight to the driver side of the trailer. won't that cause pulling issues?
Yes the firebox is a killer. Totally OK to add your weight to the front. The only thing that I would watch is loading heavy on opposite corners. I used a torque tube on my trailer, like what they do on the long goosenecks, It prevents the trailer from twisting. When Frank and I pulled Hawg Molly out it was our surprise at just how balanced the trailer was. Axles all the way to the back and three giant cookers and one guy could still lift the tongue.Rodcrafter - Alright thanks. I figured adding opposite weight of the 150 and firewood to front passenger side would help offset weight of the rear driver of the firebox. That firebox is freaking heavy!
The tables that I have are stainless tops but the channel under the top for support is galvanized. And the leg pockets were also galv. I started to weld mine in place then choose to build somewhat of a sub frame and use self tappers to secure the sub to the table support. Makes it easy to remove and work in that area if needed.I have a question for y'all. I have some stainless table that I am going to add to the front of the trailer. How would i go about welding angle iron legs to the bottom of the stainless table top. If I just used regular mig wire to weld the angle iron to the underside of the stainless would it start to rust out? I've never welded stainless before so I didn't know.
Square doors are the bomb!!!Dude i like it! I'm ready to see how your square doors come out.
