Hello from Washington

Big Pappa's Beast
Hello to all :)
My name is Bill and I own and operate a company called "Big Pappa Bill's BBQ" in Orting Washington. My cooker is a 500 gallon, trailer mounted, reverse flow, monster called "Big Pappa's Beast"! She is an amazing wood fired cooker and in the three years since I had "Smoker Plans, aka Frank Cox make me a set of plans from my drawings, we have served our amazing BBQ to thousands of hungry, happy people. When I say "Beast", I mean it...she has over 12 THOUSAND square inches of cooking space and weighs in at 4780 pounds :) She is an integral, structural piece of the 24 foot trailer that gets us around. I saved my money for a year and the build time was a little over 4 months but was definitely worth the wait.

However, it is time to put her up for sale and will hopefully be on bbqswapper.com soon.

Taste the Q!

If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?

I checked out bbqswapper.com, it's been a while since I looked at that site and not much (if anything) has changed in several months. I wish you luck selling it there...hopefully some here knows of other places to list it.

Hello and thanks for the replies :grillin:
The plan is to first sell "The Beast", then find a smaller trailer unit that will allow me to do a wider variety of shows. Most of the events in my home state have small spaces and getting a booth with "The Beast" can get very expensive. While I loved the design and building process, I think I will take the $$$ I get from her and look for an insulated gravity feed unit. Staying awake all night then running my booth for a day or a full weekend is getting a bit rough on the body.
Still can't seem to get anywhere with bbqswapper.com....any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
