The 250 gallon charkettle smoker is a tow-ready offset pit built for caterers, competition cooks, and weekend pitmasters who want to smoke and grill from the same trailer. It marries a heavy 7-gauge, 250-gallon barrel with a single counterweighted door and a 31″ round Charkettle charcoal grill mounted on the tongue, so you can hold a brisket low and slow in the main chamber while you sear and finish over live charcoal up front.
Two cookers in one tow-behind rig
The 63″ long by 30″ round barrel gives you the capacity for full briskets, pork shoulders, and racks of ribs, while the thick 7-gauge steel holds temperature through long cooks without the swings you get from thin backyard pits. Riding on a greaseable 3,500 lb Dexter axle with reinforced shackle links and coated U-bolts, it tows dependably to events and competitions, and the tongue-mounted kettle adds a dedicated grilling station so your main chamber never has to stop smoking.

Why buy the 250 gallon charkettle smoker
The reason this configuration sells is flexibility: most pits make you choose between smoking and grilling, and this one does not. Run pulled pork and brisket in the barrel all day while the kettle handles burgers, chicken, and direct-heat sears for the line, then break it down and tow it home behind a half-ton truck. The counterweighted door is the detail crews appreciate most, lifting a heavy steel lid with one hand so you can check the cook dozens of times without the strain. For larger menus and busier events, step up to one of our full BBQ and smoker trailers with enclosed kitchens.
Every trailer ships new, with delivery to the contiguous 48 states included in the listed price. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories are quoted separately before you order. The price you see is the price you pay.
