rkboyer911 Sorry for the late reply, the dimensions of my tank are 30" dia and roughly 90" long. For me, it is a monster.

Finally got to do some more work and post some pictures. The only obstacle we are for seeing is the trailer. Thinking about build one from scratch. Any advise on axle/tire placement as to add tongue weight without putting the tires too close to the firebox? Also, Im worried somewhat about being able to reach the right door over a tire or actually being able to raise the door all the way up while keeping my hand on the handle. Any of you guys run into this? What would the min height you would have the firebox off the ground be?

look at my current build under traier builds for a 250 gallon tk I build a 4ft wide trailer. I recess the cooker into trailer that way you can get the tongue weight you want.... I do it by feel i want some tongue weight but i dont want to heavy to handle. my trailers pull down the road straight as an arrow and do not wander at all!!!!!!

I forgot mine was even hooked up when I trailered it home. I took a railroad crossing doing about 65, wasn't until I saw the smoker airborn that I remembered it was back there. Oh and BTW, nice welds TQ, everything held nicely.

Hmmm, this could be a decent road test for your new builds The railroad factor ..strictly pass/fail I'm thinking

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Those trailers look awesome man! I like the way recessing the box into the trailer looks. Very sharp. Can you tell me what size axle that is and were you got it? Did you shorten the axle to make it 4' ?
