The Meadow Creek TS1000 is the largest reverse-flow tank smoker in the TS line, built from a 1,000-gallon tank on a tandem-axle trailer. Eight stainless slide-out grates give you 130.81 sq. ft. of cooking area, enough for roughly 178-182 pork butts or 130-140 whole briskets, plus a warming box with three shelves.
Best for: Large caterers and barbecue restaurants that need to cook 130+ briskets or 280+ whole chickens in a single run and haul the pit to events.
The TS1000 Tank Smoker Trailer is our biggest reverse-flow tank smoker, ready for any crowd you can throw at it. Built to satisfy the demands of large caterers and barbecue restaurants who maxed out the huge , the TS1000 boasts a giant 1,000-gallon tank for more than 2-1/2 times the cooking capacity of the TS500.
Its eight sliding stainless steel grates offer 130 square feet of cooking area, enough space for up to 180 pork butts or 140 briskets! The spacious warming box holds six full-size restaurant pans. The TS1000 provides all the standard features of our TS series, giving you the ease of use and the confidence you need to focus on supplying the best barbecue your crowd has ever tasted.
When it’s time to hit the road, the TS1000’s rugged trailer has the quality, balance, and safety features to give you peace of mind no matter how many miles you need to cover. A four-inch channel frame provides a bullet-proof foundation for this beast of a smoker, the heavy-duty tandem axle with brakes keeps the fifteen-inch highway wheels rolling, and ample LED lighting keeps you visible.

Gas Assist Add On
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.
Gas Assist Features
- Weatherproof housing
- Electronic thermostat with digital readout
- Connects to 110-volt power with a regular extension cord
- Low-pressure gas regulator and gas quick attach
- Connects to a regular LP gas grill tank
- Maintains consistent temperature automatically
