Had my eye on the MKT-99 for a while now. My thinking is to gut it out and use it as a mobile buffet line with hot food on one side and cold on the other. I haven't been able to see one in person yet so I'm just going by what I've seen in images. I'm sure the possibilities are endless!

I hate to say I do my own thing but people seem to generalize the term "BBQ" with meats drenched in sweet brown sauce and that is not what I'm trying to do. I have cooked about 10k #'s of brisket and pork over the last few years but mostly in convection ovens in commercial kitchens. I'm trying...

Got a few more things done here. Installed generator Ran the electrical Added some logos Service window is finished Most of the kitchen equipment is on Few more things todo but its getting really close now. A few weeks left and will be a finished.

More work getting done every day! Truck is now entirely screened in. Still waiting to get generator and all electrical installed, finish sliding window(you can see the missing section in the pics), poles to hold flaps out and a ton of smaller things. Really getting close to 100% though.

Yes its stuck in there. The smoker weighs in at about 950#. I hope to never have to move it! And yes the stack is through the roof. Sticks about 4" above the roof. Added pic of the connection between roof an stacks.

Got some more work done. Back door frame is up. Last roof panel installed with smoke stacks extended through the roof. Everything will be "screened in" i ordered all the tracks for the screen. That should be here monday. Ill try to post up some more pics here soon.

Thanks! I'll give it a good look as soon as i get a chance. Here are some more pics!

Got a question for you guys. In the past when i drove the truck i have been able to get up to 51mph. I would get a slow decline in speed if going up a steep grade. Fast forward to today. She was sluggish in 4th and woould slow down entering 5th. Barely stay at 42 and die going up small hills...

I'm insured in Florida through progressive commercial. $275 for 6 months. I'm sure there may be cheaper options.

I feel like there is more work and headaches to come! The rear framework with roof and side flaps should be finished today, then off to the paint shop tomorrow or Monday. I'll try to get some pics up once it's all finished this week. Trying to visualize your cooker, would love to see some pics...

Got some actual work done to the truck today. The bed is rhino lined!

Geez sorry guy! Its always hard to see the intranet sarcasm :/ ive been in so many BBQ forums and trying to research the **** out my foods, some of those guys are so BBQ snobby an rude its crazy. I forget what a great bunch of helpful guys you are! My appologies! Free lunch for you if you can...

Thanks for the kind words guys! Im working hard to make this happen. Its obviously not legal to serve food off the truck. If you start from the beginning of the thread you would see that im in the middle of the conversion and still have to enclose the entire back of the truck to a "screened in...

Just starting to get some parts in so no updates on things that have been done to the truck but... I have been doing some smoking! Enjoy! Opions on either installing a new airpack that came with the truck or selling and using the money for other things i need done now. Was told my brakes were...

Double post:-(

Thanks for the advice ill take a look at that! The gauge is all over the place. It will go to full when i fill the tank and go down to 3/4 at some point then it will go back up to full and bounce around between 3/4 and full even when lower at half a tank or less. This is the first time i...
