  • Cooker to go!

    Man would I love one of these! Would make an awesome trailer for a Festy meet. PRICEY though, at $2K. Lowe's sells it...

    I'm sure you could fabricate something like that on your own and save lots of money. You could rig up some sort of fridge/cooler to keep your beer cold. That would be awesome to have

          That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the pic of the bbq. Trust me, with that trailer, you could build you something for way, waaaay cheaper!

            Well what I was thinking is have individual modules that bolt onto the trialer frame for:
            Grilling
            Hauling wood - integrated sides and tie downs
            Hauling engines - blocks to hold a B3/B6/BP/etc in up right position and ratched/chained down.
            Oil & WVO hauling 55 gal drum centered on axle with ports for loading and unloading drum.
            The list is endless and many could be intgrated in to a single module.

              Wow, I was just looking at that today! That and a Festy hitch. Let me know how it works for you!

                It looks like the same trailer Harbor Freight sells. If so, from what I've read somewhere, you want to check your bearings.

                    I just remember reading somewhere that the bearings they have need to be either repacked or replaced. At the very least, check them out. Go to HF and compare your trailer's picture & specs with theirs. They look the same to me, but I didn't compare side by side.

                    Hmmm, just did. The load cap is different, but 8" wheels are the same:

                    Harbor Freight buys their top quality tools from the same factories that supply our competitors. We cut out the middleman and pass the savings to you!


                    Still could be the same item, with mistakes made in load cap. They look so alike.

                    Ah, here's the download of the HF trailer instruction book:

                    Harbor Freight buys their top quality tools from the same factories that supply our competitors. We cut out the middleman and pass the savings to you!


                    Load cap is listed at 1060#! I bet they are the same. Check your instruction book to see!

                    John, if you find this trailer to be really nice, I will probably buy the same at HF. With my 20% off coupon, that is.

                      Hey Driver! You could "redneck" one together!

                      Around here I see alot of those cookers that are homemade. I plan on building one out of an old oil heater drum and the rear beam from a front wheel drive car

                        my dad and I made a cooker like that...150 gal. LeRoy air compressor tank and an old woodstove that we heated our house with...put it all on an old motorcycle trailor. Its pretty sweet, he goes to national BBQ contests and competes with it.

                          That's awesome I think old air compressor tanks have like 1001 uses! That's what I used to build my waste oil furnace.

                            Yee-haw! With my fabrication skills, it'd look like a blob of weld holding together what looked like an oil heater drum on a wheel haha! But it is an idea... I wonder if I got the parts, who could make me one... (Imagining super grill, with 8 12,000 btu burners and 2 propane tanks... But that's just imagining)

                              I have 3 welders, a plasma cutter, 3 band saws, and many FWD rear axle beams

                              PS: Don't use propane. A real smoker uses real wood...LOL
