Egg trailer worked like a charm!

traveled across the state of Florida on a 6 hour round trip and the egg was save and sound. Some foam in between the lid, and the guys taken out.

hope everyone had a great thanksgiving !!

Great looking bird @slovelad . I said it before, but very nice job on the trailer.

@blasting thanks again! It was my first time trying the mad max method. I thought the turkey was excellent, but not quite salty enough for me. Although I will admit that I didn't have the mad max seasoning, so I'm sure that didn't help

Nice job on the trailer, and the bird looks good too.

Did you build the trailer yourself or have someone custom build it for you?

@Grillin_beers I built it myself. It is just bolt on, so I can take it off if I ever need to use the whole trailer. I only have about $100 in it

Nice, very clever idea!  Eases my concerns over what type of road abuse the base of the egg can take.  Did you do anything special to cushion the base of the egg?

Is that solid axle?  I would be afraid if I did that here in arkansas I would bounce my egg until I had nothing but a fine green powder.

Man that is really cool. Great work. So...forgive my ignoance on this but what kind of equipment did you use to make this?  MIG welder?

@RajunCajun nothing special underneath. It's sitting on a smokeware table nest and some wood.

i just didn't want too many moving parts. I wanted to be able to pull up, and start cooking pretty quick

It's pretty stiff, but it has leaf springs.

@SmokeyPitt I used a flux core welder. It was my first time welding, really fun project
