Hello everyone, I have a question for you. Im in the process of starting my on business in manufacturing bbq pits of all sizes as well as catering and competition trailers. I have a 100ft by 60ft shop that im outfitting right now, while im making up my drawings.
I would like to know which you would rather have for a catering, competition or just plain'ole bbq trailer.
Gooseneck or Bumper-pull?
With that being said let me give you an idea. The two different pits that will go on these larger trailers are 30" diameter and a 36" diameter main chambers. The total length adding the smoker, firebox, and char-grill will be 12ft long for one and 15ft long for the other.
I will be putting the smaller one of a 16ft bumper pull trailer just for certain people that don't need room for kitchen equipment and don't need an enclosed space.
However, what I need your opinion on is the 20-24ft trailer. Some will have enclosed kitchens on the front. Now technically you can make them bumper pull. However a gooseneck would be better and plus you then have a place on top of the neck for storage or possible wood racks.
So let me know what you would prefer for a trailer. I know a lot of guys don't even have a gooseneck hitch in their truck.(not hard to install though)
Thanks everyone for your input, this is very important info for me. I could build them both ways but I just would like real BBQ'ers opinions.
