Building Rotisserie Smoker
AZBBQGRILLS:
Day 5 Rotisserie is mounted. I am at a cross road on the length of the trailer. Question is, "Should I cut the excess off so you can approach the smoker without interference. You can get right up to it but my lower leg contacts the frame. I like the storage area it provides but don't like the way it effects you when you walk up to it. The smoker needs to be positioned so that 60 percent of the weight rides forward of the axle. I positioned it this way and did a highway test. It pulled great at 70 MPH no bounce. Well if you have some input let me have it.

The pit is looking GREAT! I think I would have to go for comfort and cut off that back end to get into the pit easier. It is nice to have storage but maybe you can compensate by cutting some off the back and adding a second "floor" on the front to compensate for the balance shift. This will add some much needed storage but maintain the balance.

AZBBQGRILLS:
Took your advice and cut the trailer today. Its very approachable now. I have only a few days to work on it before I off to Boise for a couple of weeks. I will have it ready for Scottsdale. I think it is going to be one nice rotisserie. Thanks Kelly for the PICs I had been on you post a few times and looked at them. Are you building this or having it built?

I am late with my reply David but for future thoughts, I would have kept the storage space and moved the cooker to the rear and re-positioned the axle to accommodate the shifted weight. One cannot have too much storage. Your build looks great and i look forward to seeing it cook.
