need equipment advise

1. refrigerator
2. freezer
3. large 3 compartment sink
4. plenty of storage shelves
5. full size hotel pans
6. 1/2 size hotel pans
7. food warmer or SM150, which you can also use for smoking

These are just suggestions based on what we use in our trailer. We have a food warmer we rarely use because of the SM150. We can hold food in it just as well. We also have a chiller, but use the refrigerator more. We use a cooler with ice for the drinks.

Lots of aluminum foil (heavy duty) and plastic wrap. Take out boxes. A cash register.

Hope this gets you started. Best of luck.

Try to purchase equipment from auctions selling restaurant equipment.....pennies on the dollar. Meat slicers usually half price.....stainless prep tables 80% off original price. Bring a truck or trailer to haul it home.

Steve,
I know someone who just bought a BBq trailer equipted, lives on IRB looking for a partner or investor. You interested? I'm supposed to see it this weekend.

In a restaurant you will also need a stove and maybe a convection oven (although a conventional will do) Sandwich station to keep all the fixins cool.

Chef Tom,
We've noticed that it really runs the refrigerator going in and out. You're right about a sandwich station, I think.

Where do you find the auctions of used equipment? I hear about them but never see an advertisement for them.

Raider, I would be interested in talking with your friend about a partner in the Bar B Que business. He can call me direct in the evening at 727 896-2211

2 greyhounds...Peggy, (auctions) The yellow pages will list auction companys and I look every Sunday's newspaper in the classifieds. They usually have a closed restaurant stuff to sell on the site. Once you get on their amiling list they will e-mail you. Best one I went to is the county was selling cafeteria equipment from all the schools

I'm supposed to go see it this week, want to tag along?

sam, drive across state to savannah, give me 50k, and start smoking! done that simple. our place is great, but we gotta move up north. we are already established. thats the hardest part. we spent thousands and thousands just getting our name out there.
