Hey Forum, can I get some advise on mounting my pitmaker vault to my trailer project.
I have the below trailer I've removed the deck from and I'm currently getting it fit for the road (new tires, new coupler, new lights, ect...). I'd like to mount my Pitmaker Vault to it. Current plan is to mount it towards the back of the trailer, 70% of weight behind the axle, and then mounting a blackstone griddle and jobsite box to the trailer closer to the tongue. Might also try to mount a gas burner near the front for boiling noodles and brunswick stew.
Trying to figure out how to mount the smoker to the trailer, how would you guys do it? I"ve got some steel and was going to add a 2" .250 square tube at the back of the trailer near the rear leaf spring mount, and then I have a sheet of 1/8" steel that I was going to mount to the trailer for a base. Initial thought was to cut the legs off the vault leading about 1" of legs and then weld some backets or angle iron to the trailer and bolt the smoker legs to the angle iron. Is there an easier/better way to do so? I'd like to sit the smoker flat on the trailer, but I don't know about welding the smoker straight to the trailer.
Thoughts? Thanks in Advance!
