Meadow Creek TS500 Offset Tank Smoker and Trailer

The Meadow Creek TS500 Offset Tank Smoker and Trailer is designed for commercial barbecue operations, caterers, competition teams, and large outdoor cooking events that require maximum smoking capacity and dependable trailer mobility.

Additional features such as exterior work shelves, positive-lock latches, stainless steel handles, stay-cool firebox handles, and a slide-out ash pan provide convenience and durability during long cooking sessions.

Constructed with 3/16” plate steel on the tank and 1/4” plate steel on the firebox, the TS500 is built for long-term outdoor cooking performance.

The Taste of Wood: The Convenience of Gas
Do you love traditional wood and charcoal smokers, but wish you could “cheat” once in a while? How would you like to throw away your weed burner and preheat your smoker with the flip of a switch? Or start an all-night cook and go to sleep, knowing your temp will stay rock-solid even after the coals burn down?

Meadow Creek’s revolutionary gas-assist option turns a TS or BX smoker into a shape-shifting jack-of-all-trades. Driven by a powerful Wayne burner, it can preheat your smoker, light your wood or charcoal, and lock in your pit temp within 5 degrees of your set point.

It’s like having two pits in one. Smoke the traditional way with just coals and wood, cook on gas alone, or perfect your favorite hybrid approach for the best of both worlds. You’ve never smoked like this before.
