Bond Daws Design is all about design! Our perpetual curiosity, love of details and intrigue about all different types of designs has us always on the lookout. A friend recently stopped by with a custom built BBQ smoker and we have to admit, while we are sure that it turns out some incredible BBQ we were captivated by it's design and details.

Built by David Mazaika and fashioned out of an old air compressor tank, not a detail has been overlooked. Practicality, function, engineering and a stunning design are just a few of the elements that have been joined together to create this incredible BBQ smoker. The smoker itself has been raised above the trailer and sits atop the wood box where logs are stored to fuel the smoker. The wood box can easily be accessed from either the other side of the trailer or from rear of the trailer.

The construction of the smoker is incredible. The symmetry of the wheels and rivets on the smoker doors are what first caught our attention, not to mention the fire engine red color. The thoughtfulness and level of detail invested in this project is amazing. The welding alone that was done to transform this from what it once was to this beautiful and practical design is phenomenal!

Either side of the trailer has Butcher Block platforms, lit by lights that have been built-in to the overhead frame of the trailer. The Butcher Block on the back side even has a built-in brass cup holder for the beverage of your choice. There's also a beautiful wood door with sturdy hardware that leads to the storage compartment where all the essentials are kept. From rolls of paper towels, to spices, aluminum foil and silverware this rig is fully outfitted with everything you might possible need for one incredible BBQ. There's even a pop up flag pole to display whatever flag might be appropriate for the venue.

We love the rustic look of the wood and heavy duty hardware that have been used to create the primary storage for the smoker. Even the storage compartment is lit with a beautifully fitted flush mount light. The door to the firebox even has a horseshoe from the family's ranch affixed to it. On the side of the storage box is a bottle opener and Coca Cola catch bin to collect the bottle caps. Details, details, details...oh how we love them!

If the lights, flagpole, dual cooking platforms, multi-level smoker, detailed firebox and custom drink holder weren't enough how about these jaw dropping shiny dual exhaust pipes. It's hard not to just stop and stare. This rig is pretty remarkable, even it's license plate has been customized. You can feel the heart and soul that has been invested in creating this beautiful smoker. It's easy to imagine the stories that will be told and the laughter that will be shared as friends and family gather around. We're so grateful that we had the opportunity to see this beautiful design.

Putting her to the test, our good friend and local firefighter Shawn Anderson brought the smoker to a BBQ memorial to honor one of his firefighting brothers who was recently and tragically killed. We believe that the best designs are meaningful designs that enhance your life + style and we think this is one fine design!

Cheers,
