250 Gallon Pull-Behind BBQ Smoker — Single Door, Counterweight, 3,500 lb Axle

The 250 gallon pull-behind BBQ smoker is a tow-ready offset pit built for caterers, competitors, and serious enthusiasts who need real capacity and rock-steady temperatures on the road. Its single large door with counterweight makes opening effortless, while the heavy 7-gauge barrel and 3,500 lb Dexter axle combine professional-grade cooking with dependable towing for events, competitions, and large gatherings.

Capacity and control for long cooks

The 63″ long by 30″ round, 250-gallon barrel holds enough brisket, ribs, and pork to feed a crowd in a single load, and the thick 7-gauge steel keeps temperatures stable through 10- and 12-hour cooks. Offset airflow draws heat and smoke gently across the food for even color and bark, the time-tested method behind authentic slow-cooked smoked food. The counterweighted door lifts a heavy steel lid with a single finger so you can tend the fire all day without fighting the pit.
