Question on plans

[acantrel]

Hello Brethren!
I want to learn to cook BBQ, using wood and an offset smoker, for a crowd of 100 or so on an occasional basis. This could be for church socials, fund-raisers, or to sell at a weekend special event or ball games.

I just finished reading Aaron Franklin’s book and like the idea of having, a cooker built using his recommendations, used propane tanks and straight-through design on a trailer.

A friend has two 250-gallon tanks free and a local welding shop can do the welding for a fee, if I can provide plans or at least a sketch. There is a trailer dealer with a 4 X 8 trailer on consignment for $375 that has potential.

Does anyone here have experience with the plans available from Mike Jones at the link below?

If you watch enough YouTube videos and stare at enough google images you can sketch one up.
