Yes.
I built a trailer from scratch. LINKY That was fun but getting it registered was a bear.

In Michigan, it is pretty easy to get a homebuilt trailer registered, Have to have a proper certificate of weight from an official weight station. Built two of them, one started out as an old one wheel allstate bumper hitch trailer. had two separate bars that hooked to the brackets on the car bumper.
Here it is under the sons BBQ smoker that we built.
The smoker slides off the trailer for use.
The springs/axle/rims is from a early 70's Volvo rear axle. It was put in a dumpster with other parts, probably from a stolen and striped car. The fenders were bent to fit. Since the trailer bed is only 4'x4' I used an excess cargo carrier that slides into a trailer hitch welded on the front of the tongue. For carrying the hardwood for smoking
Front of the unit
There are 4 trailer jacks that are welded to the frame of the smoker at the corners so it can be lifted up and the trailer comes out from under it. They are the folding style jacks.

That's neat Glenn. Looks like you can smoke a couple of oinker's in there. :lol:

Did 220pounds of pork shoulder this past memorial day at the vet homes in Grand Rapids Mich plus the side dishes. we just added a second tier of cooking smoking racks. He figured out that the old man was correct when we built it. The door hood needed to be a quarter of the one side.
It is a real good candidate for recycle re use.
The smoke/cooker pit is a 250 gallon oil tank, the firebox was the liner of a gas hot water heater tank, the frame was second hand rectangle tubing, the smokebox generator was a metal drawer that somebody gave me that was filled with scrap. Some of the fire grates are second hand rebar, the wood handles are shorts of oak stair handrail.
