Beginners Guide To BBQ Smoker Trailer Pits And Grills

With multiplying everyday tasks compelling people to be on the go, we can still enjoy barbecue without having to spend time waiting at a restaurant. While BBQ smoker concession stands are ideal as mobile carts for catering, BBQ smoker trailers are perfect as streetside eateries for vending. BBQ smoker trailer pits are their lifeblood, the cookers mounted inside the trailers, which will produce Southern comfort, Texas style, Memphis style, Pacific Rim, chili adobo and other versions of the barbeque for eager customers, including real Southern flavored pork, chicken, turkey, beef or fish b-b-q.

Choices of BBQ smoker trailer pits, whether commercial or residential grade, include mounted, fixed, towable, portable, tailgate and backyard in common sizes of 4, 6, 8 and 10 feet plus the smaller 3 foot models. They may be wood fired, coal fired, natural gas or liquid propane fueled, or electric powered using a heating coil or plate. In a classic smoker, burning the heat source in a closed, oxygen-deprived box produces smoke rather than fire. Smoke cooks the meat “low and slow” and is exhausted right away to the outside. This cooking method traps the juices in and forces the flavors out.

An alternative to pit smokers are electric rotisserie smokers in which grills rotate to cook barbeque evenly, sparing cooks from having to turn the meat themselves. New smoker trailers use rotisserie cookers more and more. Smoking cooks meat slowly at a low temperature using indirect heat while grilling cooks meat faster at a higher temperature using direct heat. Smoking yields softer, juicier b-b-q. Industrial-strength competition smokers, like those seen in cookoffs, are just as great for vending and catering, and will benefit money-making barbecue trailers.

BBQ smoker trailer pits along with concession shells, interiors and generators comprise BBQ smoker trailers, with both trailer and smoker accessories thrown in. They can be bought either as a single unit—the trailer—or individually for upgrading and replacing. Cabin, lodge, open air, shed, motorized, shack and traditional style trailers are easily available plus most distributors would build custom BBQ trailers and concession stands, usually within 4 to 8 weeks.
