Howdy from Big Sky country.
Looks like a great forum.
I have been making Q for about 7 or 8 years and have been in a couple of contests. I used to work (for somebody else) in the restaurant industry; always wanted my own place but didn't have a year-or-two worth of spare cash layin' around, and I didn't want to take out a loan.....usual story.
I've been catering for awhile on weekends. I am set up in a small brewery on weekends selling sandwiches and sides, some apps and such. It's going along pretty well, I keep things simple, my costs low and am able to make a little money.
With winter not far away I am starting to think about next year and what baby steps to take to bring things to the next level. A cooker like a Cookshack might be just the ticket. I'm thinking about an enclosed trailer as my kitchen and vending setup (current commissary is the VFW). I would want to be able to cook a case of butts at once, or a partial case along with other meats.
Would a Cookshack work inside a trailer? Can I use it to hold foods once cooked?
I'd appreciate any thoughts on the subject.
