    SOLD - My latest offset build up for sale - 250 gallon on ATV wheels, yard-pull

    ***SOLD***

    Price is $3,750 cash. Located in Bartlesville, OK, about 45 minutes north of Tulsa. The possibility of delivery may exist - but honestly, I need to make some repairs on my truck first, and I'd probably need to do a few touch-ups on the trailer, as well, so that might be a few weeks to get all that done (waiting on funds to fix my truck, at the moment). I could conceivably deliver (for a member here), I dunno, maybe up to 5-7 hours' drive time, for additional cost. I'd probably ask something like a 50% deposit up front in that instance.

    Here's a link to the whole build thread if you want to see how each step went in the process.


    Here's a link to the (almost) final product completed post on the day I did the burn-in and temp testing, which went very, very well. Very even temps throughout, if you look at the fireboard data.

    This is a link to the Facebook ad, which has more pics as well as a video walkaround. This includes pictures with the final piece, the heat shields between the wheels and the firebox.


    This thing is a lot more efficient than I expected, and orders of magnitude more efficient than my big 320-gallon unit.

    Not sure if anyone here is interested, but I've got it listed on Facebook Marketplace, so I figured I'd throw it up here, as well.

    I'm not currently 'taking orders' for builds - I'm not to into following instructions or other people making changes in my plans, etc. I kind feel like I'm'a build what I want to build, then see who wants it as it is. lol But, my next several builds are planned as trailer builds, so we will see how that works out. But I'm in a bit of a stalemate until I sell this one, so I can buy the materials I need to build a trailer or two.


    <edit> I will say, this thing is heavy. It's not impossible for one man to pull, and I'm not Hercules, but it's a beast. On grass and slightly uneven terrain, I think you definitely want a second person pushing while one pulls. It is very doable that way. On flat concrete, one man can pull it around all day long.

    You did a good job with a very detailed description of the unit in that ad. Should appeal to any serious buyers out there.

      Serious buyers are the hard ones to find. lol. I've had plenty of offers on Facebook - for around the cost of my materials! lol

      I've been selling stuff through various forms of want ads for more than 50 years, it's always been that way. Flakes start by asking what's the lowest price you'll take, or pitch a low ball offer, sight unseen. They have no idea of value, they're usually a waste of time, but part of the process. Serious buyers, for the most part, may want a few more specifics, but if they make an appointment to see it, they move into the serious buyer prospect category. I usually wait for those.....

    That is a great price for a great looking smoker. I wish I were in the market for one.

      Taking MCS to the next next level. I wish I could use a beast that big. It is - well - just freaking lovely.

          Thanks! Some of you followed along with the build thread.... so you KNOW how much work goes into something like this, especially for a guy like me, working alone. Yes, I'm sure a well-designed and set up shop with several people could knock one out in a week - or two. But certainly not me.

          I think it's a fair price. Just gotta wait for someone who understands what it is, and is in the market for it.

              I would love something like that on a trailer! Nice work. I’m curious, what do you think it is that makes this pit so efficient?

                Combination of things... so the angled plates in the bottom of the firebox allow the coal bed to be centered well in the box, but also the addition of the vertical baffle/scoop thing I made I think offers some benefits. Not 100% sure the whole of it, but I definitely felt it ran quite well. I should run it a few more times and actually cook on it to get a better feel, but I definitely like it - I'd love to keep it, but divorce is a LOT more expensive... lol.

              Sweet price for that capacity. Put a Franklyn plate on it you could sell it for 10,000.

                Awesome. I know Durant and Antlers and a Turnpike somewhere around there. Love the Turnpike.

                  Congrats on your sale! That guy from Durant got a heckuva smoker, for sure. I look forward to following along with your next build.

                    Congratulations on your sale. That man from Durant got himself one hell of a smoker. Like others, I’m looking forward to following along on your next build.

                      Congratulations on the sale! I’ll be keeping an eye on your future builds. I don’t need one now, but I have eyes for a trailer mounted smoker one day!
