Big step up (A.k.A. am I nuts?)
« Reply #-1 on: January 29, 2021, 07:20:14 PM »
I have a (very good) chance to get a professional-made grill/smoker trailer.  It looks about big enough to do a full size pig with room to spare, and a separate smoker box.  Its big, and I have NO IDEA what to do.

Lets start simple...A recipe or process for using something like that? I guess it could hold four 20 pound bags of charcoal.  I wouldn't even begin to guess what and how.

Any suggestions??? :(

Well...lets see....Who built the smoker? Is it a firm that is recognized for quality and consistency in the operation of it? What are your goals? Do you want to be a BBQ vendor? Or maybe cater? Have a tow vehicle capable of the weight? Checked into the regulations governing a for-profit BBQ biz?
Just a few of the many things to consider....

Welcome from NC.  I used to "cook/BBQ" as a side line.  One of the things I did that I would highly recommend is to get Serve Safe Certified.  Minimizes the legal issues that can crop up for commercial vendors.
