    I need strong guys.

    I'm buying a smoker in Midlothian on Saturday morning. I just moved to the area and don't have anyone to help me lift it. The guy selling it to me said it will take three guys to lift it. He and his son can help load it but I need some help to unload it.

    It shouldn't take but 5 mins at the Max. Looking to do this early on Saturday so I can light the fire!!

    Any and All help will be welcomed.

    I live in Midlothian as well.

            use a come along and back under a big tree. Lift it up, drive out, let it down. Just an idea.

            Good Luck,

              Same situation for me.. Im in Louisiana or would help also. I used my 4wheeler trailer. I made me a bracket with some big toolbox wheels and bolted it to the front skids. Winched it up on my trailer. Easy. Or put a cooler out by your truck, there will be many fellows just appear looking for refreshment. Good luck..

                Good Luck,
                We wont have an issue loading it because there will be 3 of us. However I will be alone at my house and cant lift it by myself.

                  I'll be out of town or I'd drive down and help, even though after two back surgeries my wife would not be too happy. As I tell her all the time, I can't live life cooped up in a bubble, and wont avoid doing things "just in case".

                  Just a thought but if you cant line up help to unload it you may look into renting a trailer with ramp. A guy at work rented a 6x10 with ramp for a day from Sunbelt for something like $30. It'd be worth that to not have to lift it in or out.

                    I unload a similar smoker but smaller. My teenage son and I it almost hurt me getting it out of a non ramp utility trailer. Be careful

                      I could maybe help Saturday evening but my daughter has a soccer game in the morning. I do have a chain hoist you can use if you have the right tree. Or rent a tilt bed trailer.

                        I have loaded and unloaded a much larger one this way. Do you have a tree large enough? looks like you could roll it once you get it unloaded
