Having the local council on your side is a great step forward, around here all they want to do is to try and stop folks having a go. What size truck are you thinking about?? Transit size?? 7.5 tons??. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Monkey Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 All here to help. Personally, I think the Bradley option is going to be very expensive in “Pucks” the wood disks for cooking. You would also need a generator as these run on mains voltage. Horizontal space in a truck will be limiting with worktops, sinks etc, so vertical Smokers is the way, and I think that’s why you choose the Bradley Cabinets. I would look down the UDS route. Three In a line, no power required to run them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Monkey Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 The UDS are just 45 gallon drums, should fit through a door. Make a frame to sit them on, off the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoogl Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Hey @jay_dyker88 what about something like one of these? http://www.horizonbbqsmokers.com/trailer-smokers or a uk company https://www.bbqmates.co.uk/product-category/bm-commercial-bbq-trailers/ That way you can just transport it to venue and pitch up. Maybe you could use a decent pop up Gazebo to give a little weather protection or as @Smokin Monkey said go for bullet smokers on a similar trailer. Could you get a wooden shack that you can cut and fasten together to make a popup shop? Best of luck in it dude Edited June 5, 2019 by hoogl Added a UK based web link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
