Time to get serious about a new smoker.

I have seen guys who travel the city celebration circuit in Utah and sell BBQ plate dinners. Pulled pork sandwiches with sides for $10/plate. I have done this enough to know I can do that for cost of ~$2.50 per plate, including plates, utensils, etc. Or less. I wouldn't want to do it for a living, but it would be fun to do on the side with some kids.

I remember a gig that DT and I did for a 60th Wedding Anniversary. 125 people. We did chicken and a handful of side. It was in July. We set a record level for temperatures for that day at 108 degrees. I think it took both of us probably 4 days to recover from the heat stroke. It was bad. I probably drank 6-8 32 oz. Gatorade's, and close to a gallon of water for the 8 hours that we were there. I didn't pee once.

That's when you start to reassess life. Lol.

Nice. I'm looking at a trailer with two Stumps smokers mounted on it (a stretch and a junior). My kids and I have been thinking of business ideas for the summer, and I think we can get some traction with BBQ. Plus the added mobility is nice. Now to convince the Mrs.!!!!

Ahh...another nice part about living in Texas, am I right? California isn't as friendly as that.

Wow, the price has gone way up. We negotiated the price down to ~$3200 then paid about $800 for freight from Georgia -> Utah.

Which model do you have? I'm thinking about travelling long distance for an XL Baby (or is it Baby XL?), but I'm not sure how I'm going to transport it.

Wow, that is a big smoker! Kind of ugly though.

So we have decided to do pulled pork sliders for my daughters wedding reception in August. I will be cooking 20 or so butts. Given the catering bids we have received prior to making this decision, the cost savings on this one event will cover most of the cost of my Stumps smoker.

Your stock vested in February. Just buy a new one.

Have you seen our stock price??!! Haha.

I saw this on FB and was pretty jealous. I troll craigslist for high quality smokers and come up empty handed. How are you finding these gems, DT?

I found this one on a Yoder smoker page on FB. Can’t say I’ve seen one in Utah, but have seen them come up in AZ and Colorado. And a bunch back east.

Hopefully this will be the last thread bump for me for a long while. The Timberline just wasn't doing it for me so hopefully this will be better. I smoked a small 10lb brisket yesterday and let the cook get away from me a bit since I was busy watching the Masters.
