4 Ways to Make Money with Your BBQ Trailer

If you own a BBQ trailer, you know the financial investment required for the privilege of owning such a delicious piece of equipment. It seems like a shame to fire up trailer only on special occasions. Instead of letting the dust settle on your BBQ trailer, why not put it to work! These four moneymaking ideas for BBQ trailer owners can help get you started.

Catering: Good Profit, Good Food
Catering special events with your BBQ trailer can become a full-time business. Wedding receptions, anniversary parties, birthday parties, graduation parties, weekend bashes, school dances, and even corporate events and company picnics all require food, so why not BBQ!
Catering some of these special events may mean you need a support staff and additional food items other than BBQ, although we think you can live on BBQ meat alone! If you can manage those additional tasks, then great! Otherwise, you can outsource those extra items with a full service catering company in your area. Be sure to find a reliable company with a food selection that complements your fine BBQ skills.

Renting your BBQ Trailer:
You can rent your BBQ trailer smoker. BBQ rental is an economical way to have the proper cooking equipment when you have to cook for a large crowd on a limited budget. BBQ trailer rental would be available to all churches, municipalities, and business, caters and home owners. These are large mobile trailer smoker Grills that can be towed behind your vehicle.

Capitalizing on Community Events
A BBQ trailer is a salivation genie on wheels! The smell of cooking BBQ announces itself without any further advertising. This makes setting up a food stand with your BBQ trailer an easy income source. BBQ food stands are perfect for any community get-together like block parties, fundraisers, carnivals, craft fairs, car shows, yard sales, and county fairs. Wherever people gather, food and drink is necessary.
Of course, you will need to obtain the obligatory permits and permission to feed the public, but once the paperwork is finished, the fun begins! In addition to your sumptuous BBQ wares, you can also offer beverages, French fries, salads, fresh fruit, and ice cream if you can manage to acquire the freezer space. It is always a good idea to keep the little ones in mind when planning your menu, so bring along a few hot dogs, plenty of ketchup, and something fun for dessert like cupcakes or popsicles. Throw in a few helium balloons and you’ll have customers lining up at your trailer!

Fundraisers: Unlimited BBQ potential
Another great way to bring in extra income with your BBQ trailer is to haul your gear to fundraisers. Granted, this money may not go into your pocket, but it does help out whatever good cause you choose to support. You can combine your BBQ trailer with a carnival on wheels for a complete fundraiser to go. Carnival games can include beanbag toss, a dunk tank, bounce houses, balloon animals, clowns on parade, ball bounces, and a portable obstacle course complete with oversized tricycles.
Making money with your BBQ trailer is a great way to get more use out of your trailer and get out in the community. Who knows, you may happen upon a few other BBQ enthusiasts and spend your time trading recipes and criticizing each other’s BBQ! Everyone loves BBQ, so get out that trailer and make it pay for itself!
