Life has been pretty busy but yesterday I had time today to get the doors mounted on the cooker. I went with a newer style hinge on this cooker that a friend of mine used on his build.

New to the forum scene. But I got this far with no help.

I am starting a huge project and looking for any help I can get.
I run the weld shop a Washington Family Ranch. A Younglife camp. I have set sail on building a BBQ trailer that will feed up to 400 kids with an occasional 800 guest event. I have acquired a 1000 gal propane tank and a set of axles. This will be from the ground up pit.

Plans, pictures, suggestions, ideas, all welcome. I want to get this done right. I have built other small smokers, and even a tar kettle for road maintenance. So the idea of making my own burners and trailer lay out. Is not the hard part. I want the fire box and the tank and the shelving to work to its best ability.

Am I barking up the right tree, thanks for any help that you may have.

Welcome to the forum bobbergone. Here is a link to the pit calculator it will help you fit your firebox and cooing chamber together. If you have any questions feel free to ask. You can also ask questions on the calculator through the email link. My email is attached to the calculator.

Yesterday I installed the 2" drain, finished the cooking grates, finished the firebox door and the exhaust cap.
Here is the 2" drain.

Looking good. I decided to follow your design for the firebox damper. Working on the door latch today.
