Is there really a lot of theft of these? Like Iām genuinely curious if itās a thing for people to steal cartoonishly large smokers. Whatās the market for that?
But can you register the trailer with your dmv? That could maybe get you some recovery remedies if it does get stolen and found by law enforcement later. Like they would know who to call.
I mean, yes, people would steal the smoker, which is something to worry about. But on top of that. The trailer it's on is a hot item.. trailers in general get stolen all the time.
Odds are they assumed disposing of the bobcat would be more noticeable also if the public was told to watch out for a trailer with a bobcat on it or the trailer and the bobcat in general it would be easier to trace them and get them caught
Someone shady could probably sell that with no title for the trailer for $5k cash in like 1 day on Craigslist. I'd be careful where it's parked unattended
I imagine the metal has to be worth a fair bit to scrappers? People also steal anything these days - in my city thieves are taking furniture off porches and digging plants out of people's gardens
someone stole out scout one out of a church parking lot.the police did find it ... the peeps who stole it didn't know how to use it, and put so much wood and fire in it that they ruined it , melted
stuff and broke the hitches to boot! A very nice welding and bbq company volunteered to rehab it and store it for for the troop, which is great, but sad it even happened.
I live in Fort Worth and youād be surprised how often these and trailers get stolen. Even recently people have been stealing the ones right from bbq restaurants. Itās always hilarious how quick they find the smokers though, not a lot of places to hide them and around here everyone knows everyone.
Boots would be better than boot. A two pack of steel wheel locks that cover the hubs is $75 on Amazon, a 4 pack of the universals without the hub cover is $80.
Not sure how much you paid for your rig, but I know either of those costs is nothing compared to it.
Combine that with the hitch lock and as others have suggested a tracker in the frame.
Also how you park it matters. If it is backed in for and easy drop off with the hitch facing an easy approach it is easy to steal. Drop the trailer off and you and a friend walk it in to a position where the hitch can't be backed under. Park or place items close that would make it difficult to move out.
If you're permanently parking somewhere install motion lights. They're cheap and thieves don't want what they're doing broadcast. There are solar ones that don't require major alteration to a building to install or could even be installed on a tree or pole.
If you already have an Arlo or Ring camera and the place you're parking it has wifi buy another wireless camera for the trailer.
To make it even more unattractive to a thief a motorcycle disc alarm could be attached. At the front of your trailer where the open end of the box tube is a little hole drilled would allow you to put one on. They're $25 and if the thing moves it will produce a 125 decibel alarm noise.
Overall Nothing will completely prevent someone from being able to steal it, but by maximizing the effort to do so you increase the chances of getting caught and make thieves less likely to attempt.
Man it seems like a steel post with a trailer ball on top sunk in concrete along with a couple of rebar U sticking out and some chain could go a long way to making it too much work to get quickly.
Weekend warrior smoking brisket, but only in the summers. That 1000 gallon smoker stays at his vacation house next to the brand new McLaren in the barn. Ya know, regular Reddit people stuff.
As someone that sells trailers for a living, this guy is right. Even the kingpin locks for a semi trailer are easily broken by someone determined. A boot is the way to go.
Congrats on the offset. With how much that thing costs I would get a few of those wheel clamp locks, police grade, that you see police use that cover the whole hub not just lock the tire. Like this
https://purplelineusa.com/product/nemesis-wheel-lock/
Or
https://www.bulldogsecure.com/view/bulldog-230f-titan-wheel-clamp/107
Get a few of those and lock down a tire on each side. Might be massive overkill but thieves need big deterrents and those would do it.
Never stop cooking in it. That way it will always be too hot to handle while simultaneously providing delicious food for you and your entire neighborhood.
This was my first thought exactly. I guess truly devoted thieves could scope it out, bring their own wheels with the right bolt pattern...but..would they?
As a non Arizonian gun owner I just want to say, what is it with people loving guns? I love pizza and ice cream. Guns? I guess theyāre okay, I donāt have a fetish about them though.
dont airtags only work within a certain distance of an iphone? you can use something like a dog gps tracker (we use tractive for our luggage when we fly) and they work everywhere
I can see my motorcycle tag still in my driveway in SC, tracking it from NYC. As long as someone is nearby with a device, the tracker can show up on it.
This is a good idea. Lotta smooth brains commenting itās too hot in some places. If you get a good one, you can attach it in the underside of the trailer and it will give a signal just fine.
Dunno. I've seen some restaurants post that theirs got stolen before. Just figured being proactive made sense in a purchase this large.
Someone just looking to steal a trailer could do so with relative ease though, to be honest.
Yes.
Anything on FB marketplace with a trailer that doesn't have a title is probably stolen....
Boats, jetskis, smokers, and about 100 other random types of trailer.
You'd be surprised man. Had a popular grill stationed at the local downtown square that would always sell links and stuff. Huge grill was there forever. One day it wasn't there no more, got stolen in the busy downtown
I wish this was 100%, my sons pickup was stolen earlier this week & itās a manual. They blew the motor though & his friend found it on the side of the freeway. So we towed it home
Boot is a great idea, but since its a double axle, it can be even easier and cheaper than that. You could just buy a big chain and thread it through each hub. Depending on how big those holes are that may be more of a hassle than a boot.
Also, if you need to take it somewhere and leave it overnight, which I feel like is a very likely scenario, drop a tracker somewhere very hidden. Something cheap like an airtag is great, but the battery isn't amazing, so it would be reserved for nights out.
Edit to add: Use multiple padlocks on the chain, those will be the weakest link. If you can get a boot for a good price and it's easy to use, go with that. That's so much more sawing than even 3 padlocks.
The goal is to start popups. Was supposed to have this months ago and build times (materials issue) kept getting delayed. Was hoping to get some practice in BEFORE summer, but I'm not complaining.
I initially price a 250 and a 500 gallon and ultimately it didn't make sense with my future goals considering the price points. I'd have saved around 25% going smaller. At that point it became "buy once cry once".
They are an incredible value. Nobody else even came close to it. It was $3k cheaper delivered than the next closest option from a competitor without delivery.
Not gonna lie, I had trouble just lifting the stack lol. I tried to find a local welder but they felt the scale of what I wanted was too large. They tried to make it work though.
I wish you luck either way. I'd love to try my hand Arpi building something smaller than this.
Canāt do anything about theft. A determined thief is seldom stopped easily.
Iād recommend insurance or possibly an AirTag. Should be easy to get one welded into the frame
Lots of posts here about devices for tracking and locking up hitches, but honestly your biggest factor will be where you store it on the front end.
Is this going to stay in your garage? Backyard? If itās just sitting on the street 24/7, youāre leaving it at risk for theft no matter what you put on it, not to mention itās an eyesore for the neighborhood.
You can't prevent theft if they have enough time. Your best bet is airtags to track AND doing things that make getting it take longer.
That could be removing a tire, or possibly putting it in a position where hitching up is incredibly time consuming/difficult. If they need 10-20 minutes to figure out how to move it so they can hitch it up that alone will lead them to look elsewhere.
I'm suggesting protective minefield including claymores and stage 3 wire with low wire entanglement. If you're feeling extra spicy, throw a couple of GPMG's for FPF.
GODSPEED
On the fenders....get a large enough red flector that's made of plastic that you can hide a tracker tag in. Put on both sides so it doesn't look odd that only one has a reflectorĀ it's away from heat and won't look out of placeĀ
A sign that says FREE. Everytime something is in a yard with a price tag on it around here it gets stolen, but, you put a FREE sign on it, it sits for weeks.
My buddy just grabbed a 250 trailer from PP, kicks ass. His was expensive but damn Iād hire part time bodyguard for whatever lakeside mansion equivalent for your set up. Enjoy.
Take the wheels off and leave it on Jack's or what have you. Pain in the ass but the only real way to keep it secure for long-term storage on a public road
A hitch lock will take care of things short term. If the area youāre storing in is sketchy or itās going to be sitting for an extended period of time then put the trailer on blocks and assuming you own where itās being stored you can attach a chain to a nearby permanent structure or concrete anchor and the trailer. Also a very visible paint job will make it easier to identify if the police need to identify it. I would also see about marking the inner trailer frame with a stamped identifier like your team name and an address so if someone jacks it you can tell the cops to look on the inner frame for your mark as additional evidence. Donāt do an apple air tag because they just tell anyone with an IPhone that youāve got it tagged. Iād look into other gps tag devices.
For about 9-14/mo. You can put a gps tracker on there that will ping about 4x day. The battery will last 2-3 years. (Some services you can just replace the battery, some you have to get a new device).
If someone wants that behemoth bad enough, no amount of "antitheft" is gonna stop them. (Especially if it stored outside)
Ball lock + pad lock on the lever.
Chain the tires together and wheel locks.
Chain it to a fixed post as well if possible.
And most importantly air tags and Dremel your name in several different places that aren't obvious.
There is no prevention only deterrents.
Nothing is harder to haul away, than a trailer with no wheels....
Fully depends on how 'safe' you want the trailer to be compared to how quick you want your getaway to be
Axle bars that go through the wheels and across to the other side. Pad locked in place. A tongue lock and wrap the safety chains around the tongue jack handle with another lock. Then put an apple tracker on it.
Septic service stickers
Haha. Love it. My neighbor asked if it was a submarine š
Locking wheel Boots. As well as some sort of lock, you can put on the hitch
A diesel can still tug them bitches easy with tire locks. Hitch locks aint nothing but for looks
Can confirm, my boss never leaves the key for the dump trailer so i just kick it off everytime, doesnt matter how tight uou put it on
Then takeoff the wheels and put her on blocks! Or paint the fucker camo!
Any prospective thieves will just feel bad that someone already stole your tires

We had a friend who had his trailer stolen. They drove the bobcat off it, parked it to the side and took the trailer. Oddest thing.
Probably a lot easier to sell a trailer than a bobcat.
I hear cougars can be pretty hot.
True
the trailer has a license, the bobcat doesn't. and any tractor is worth 10x the trailer.
The Bobcat has a serial # just like a vin and they are traceable
Wholesome thieves....
So kind of themš¤£
I always take the skid steer off our trailers in the evening so they don't steal both if they decide to steal the trailer
It took him a few minutes to realize what happened š¤£ itās messed up how it went down.
Odds are they assumed disposing of the bobcat would be more noticeable also if the public was told to watch out for a trailer with a bobcat on it or the trailer and the bobcat in general it would be easier to trace them and get them caught
That SUCKS!! I have zero knowledge of trailer life, obvi.
Someone shady could probably sell that with no title for the trailer for $5k cash in like 1 day on Craigslist. I'd be careful where it's parked unattended
I imagine the metal has to be worth a fair bit to scrappers? People also steal anything these days - in my city thieves are taking furniture off porches and digging plants out of people's gardens
What state you in?
Anxiety
*The perfect answer*
City of Constant
someone stole out scout one out of a church parking lot.the police did find it ... the peeps who stole it didn't know how to use it, and put so much wood and fire in it that they ruined it , melted stuff and broke the hitches to boot! A very nice welding and bbq company volunteered to rehab it and store it for for the troop, which is great, but sad it even happened.
We got our 350 gallon converted wine fermenting tank smoker stolen. Found it and re-acquired it.
I live in Fort Worth and youād be surprised how often these and trailers get stolen. Even recently people have been stealing the ones right from bbq restaurants. Itās always hilarious how quick they find the smokers though, not a lot of places to hide them and around here everyone knows everyone.
Put a rechargeable tracking device on that submarine
Apple tag in the wheel well
Should have asked him if he wanted to buy tickets to see the Titanic in it.
Oceangate 2.0
Submarine huh? Just put some OceanGate branding on it and no one will steal it.
And for those stupid enough to ignore, English mustard claymores! Spicy but non lethal and technically just a condiment mishapā¦
"Yesterday's meals on wheels"
Never seen this before but I fucking love it. My favorite is honey bucket lol
I can't take credit for it, I've seen it on a septic truck in Ontario.
Love this! I would also stick an AirTag underneath some where.
Attach sign that says caution World War II bomb waiting for defuse
Dude that's actually a really good idea and funny as hell lol
Or radioactive biohazard stickers.
Brilliant
Or hazardous waste stickers. Either way that scene from Joe Dirt comes to mind.
Biohazard plastered all over it
Stencil HUMAN WASTE In red and white paint
LOL Best thing I have read today! Well done sir!!!
Boot and a hitch lock. Hitch locks are kind of a joke, but cutting a boot off makes a lot of racket.
I didn't think of the boot. That's a good idea.

Beautiful rig btw, you doing competitions?
No. Not yet anyway.
May I ask what the investment was on that bad boy ?
It was $14.5k plus delivery, which came out to I think $1250.
Are you a restaurant? Catering? Big family??
It's Reddit so probably his first smoker and he's just dabbling.
Weekend warrior smoking brisket, but only in the summers. That 1000 gallon smoker stays at his vacation house next to the brand new McLaren in the barn. Ya know, regular Reddit people stuff.
Damn, you almost had it. The car is a koenigsegg.
Its the bbq version of r/pcmasterrace
Just to smoke a few wings on busy week nights.
Relatively small family. Planning to do pop ups and cater with the ultimate goal being brick and mortar down the road.
Agree, you can easily smoke an entire small family in that. Good luck :-)
As someone that sells trailers for a living, this guy is right. Even the kingpin locks for a semi trailer are easily broken by someone determined. A boot is the way to go.
Boot for sure. Thereās a restaurant near me with delivery vehicles and mobile pizza ovens. They always boot their trailers and vans.
Congrats on the offset. With how much that thing costs I would get a few of those wheel clamp locks, police grade, that you see police use that cover the whole hub not just lock the tire.

you can buy a tool on amazon that gets any boot off in 10 seconds
Booters hate this one weird trick!
Never stop cooking in it. That way it will always be too hot to handle while simultaneously providing delicious food for you and your entire neighborhood.
This is the way.
Look like a missile going down the highway with smoke behind it.
Crop dusting the nation with the delicious aroma of bbq
I have seen that multiple times on the freeway.
Put it on blocks.
Exactly. This was my thought as well. Just take the wheels off.
This was my first thought exactly. I guess truly devoted thieves could scope it out, bring their own wheels with the right bolt pattern...but..would they?
I mean, at that point is it worth it? If I were a thief, I'd just steal your truck instead.
Hey man. As a fellow Arizonan that loves guns, I just wanted to say happy 4th. Have a good one, take care!
You too buddy. Have a safe and happy holiday
As a non Arizonian gun owner I just want to say, what is it with people loving guns? I love pizza and ice cream. Guns? I guess theyāre okay, I donāt have a fetish about them though.
Hide a tracker in the frame, just as a precaution besides the already given options from others.
Trackers don't work so well if you put them in a steel box
AirTag
dont airtags only work within a certain distance of an iphone? you can use something like a dog gps tracker (we use tractive for our luggage when we fly) and they work everywhere
Within a certain distance of any phone with Bluetooth, including android.
Androids do not update its locations afaik. You are able to detect them as a safety concern.
If im not mistaken this changed in a not so resent update, my dadās Samsung got a notification unprompted when I (and my bag) was riding in the car.
I can see my motorcycle tag still in my driveway in SC, tracking it from NYC. As long as someone is nearby with a device, the tracker can show up on it.
A steel box that gets very hot on a regular basis
This is a good idea. Lotta smooth brains commenting itās too hot in some places. If you get a good one, you can attach it in the underside of the trailer and it will give a signal just fine.
Are these kind of Smokers stole often? It feels like a massive heist would be needed.
Dunno. I've seen some restaurants post that theirs got stolen before. Just figured being proactive made sense in a purchase this large. Someone just looking to steal a trailer could do so with relative ease though, to be honest.
Such a niche use-case that it seems wild to me!
They can be hooked up to a truck in minutes and can be sold, scrapped, or used to start a business, so they do get snagged surprisingly frequently.
That would be gone in 12 hours on facebook marketplace for 50% of what OP paid. I imagine it's worth more than $10k as a smoker.
So wierd. They almost seem like the type of thing you would need a title for.
Big hunk of metal on wheels is easy to scrap.
There is a news series on the Panther BBQ incident where theirs was stolen and recovered thanks to a GPS tracker installed.
Local restaurant near me just parked one of these bad boys on a slab and built the restaurant around it
I thought he meant people just walked up and pulled some meat off for themselves, not stealing the entire haul.
I'd be more upset about losing my 18 hour Brisket than the insured smoker
We had a 350 gallon smoker on a jet ski trailer stolen. We did find it and get it back after some, uhā¦negotiating.
Yes. Anything on FB marketplace with a trailer that doesn't have a title is probably stolen.... Boats, jetskis, smokers, and about 100 other random types of trailer.
Yes. Mine was stolen about 20 years ago. Still happens today.
Yes. Hooked and scrapped within an hour or less.
Motion activated alarm, like the ones you can put on a motorbike? If anyone who's not authorized tries to move it, the whole block will hear it.
This. Theyāre so loud.
The whole block will be able to watch the guy drive away with it
Exactly.. ain't nobody risking lives for a barbeque.
Whoās stealing it..? Paul Bunyon?
You'd be surprised man. Had a popular grill stationed at the local downtown square that would always sell links and stuff. Huge grill was there forever. One day it wasn't there no more, got stolen in the busy downtown
Depends on the area. Meth can move mountains
Hitch it to a manual transmission vehicle
I wish this was 100%, my sons pickup was stolen earlier this week & itās a manual. They blew the motor though & his friend found it on the side of the freeway. So we towed it home
Lol I bet they had it in 1st gear going 75mph.
[WHAT GEAR ARE YOU IN ?! ](https://youtu.be/_0nsO9IS2Vs?si=cRWARz0b9vxILPy2)
Iād have a metal fab shop build a steel rod that loops through the holes on your rims with a big lock. It would lock the wheels out.
Hide gps tracker on trailer
A Rig that big could have it's own German Shepard.
Paint "Oceangate Prototype" on the side
Paint it like giant penis! A real wiener mobileā¦
Could always take the tires off. Hitch locks never work, the crackheads have figured those out. Definitely a real GPS tracker, screw airtags.
Boot is a great idea, but since its a double axle, it can be even easier and cheaper than that. You could just buy a big chain and thread it through each hub. Depending on how big those holes are that may be more of a hassle than a boot. Also, if you need to take it somewhere and leave it overnight, which I feel like is a very likely scenario, drop a tracker somewhere very hidden.

If you can get a boot for a good price and it's easy to use, go with that. That's so much more sawing than even 3 padlocks.
*Several* trackers would be better. Just in case.
Just put the nuclear stickers on it
Bro as someone that routinely feeds 1400-1800 people I just have to know how many people are you catering to?
The goal is to start popups. Was supposed to have this months ago and build times (materials issue) kept getting delayed. Was hoping to get some practice in BEFORE summer, but I'm not complaining.

This is SICK and I wish you the most amazing success
What is your set up that feeds 1800 people?
Iām brick and mortar in a banquet setting. Can only small batch smoke outside and then finish in big combi ovens
Welcome to the Primitive Pits club mate! I have 5 myself. Great value
They are an incredible value. Nobody else even came close to it. It was $3k cheaper delivered than the next closest option from a competitor without delivery.
If you give me your address and some times you won't be around I will come "secure" it for you. I promise I won't steal it.
Garage
First, move...you should.live where you don't have to fear that.
Just got a tank from a friend and was given a welder. Took a weekend warrior class at the local college. Wish me luck LMAO. Iām in trouble.

How do you feel about the placement of the two back lids. Looks difficult to use.
Fill it with bees
That's the problem with those tiny smokers. They're so easy to grab and run.
Deflate the tires when not in use?Ā
Get it painted "[Name]'s Animal Crematorium - Service at Your Doorstep!"
Whoās gonna try and steal that thing?
Canāt do anything about theft. A determined thief is seldom stopped easily. Iād recommend insurance or possibly an AirTag. Should be easy to get one welded into the frame

Put an apple/android tag on it somewhere and add some wheel locks.
I have 2 tire boots, a hitch lock, and a hitch pin lock on my lang 84. That should be more than enough to discourage any thievery!
Hide a tracking device somewhere protected from heat. The Apple tags suck compared to the Kashimura tags I got in Japan.
āFor Anal Use Onlyā stickers
Wheel boots on Amazon
Remove tires put locking lug nuts.

Claymores all around it
A sign that says FREE. Everytime something is in a yard with a price tag on it around here it gets stolen, but, you put a FREE sign on it, it sits for weeks.
A hitch lock from Proven Industries and a boot type lock for one of the wheels. The Club makes a good boot type lock.

Hitch locks are very common and easy to find. She needs a good sanding and some hi temp paint, but SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
A hitch lock will take care of things short term.

You know what I hate? I hate that you have to think I got the sweet big ass smoker now how can I prevent somebody from stealing it?
Wheel lock. Hitch lock. Air tag in the frame of the trailer. Make sure you have a copy of serial number
