Build a Smoker That Will Last a Lifetime.

What is Yard Trophy

Yard Trophy is all about helping you build a serious backyard smoker, not a flimsy throwaway. The Yard Trophy 250 Smoker Plan gives you the layout, measurements, and steps I used as a guide for my own build. It’s a digital plan you download and follow at your own pace—no physical smoker, parts, or materials included.

This plan is for people who like real projects, don’t mind getting their hands dirty, and want to be able to say, “Yeah, I built that.”

Meet Pig Farmer Ben

Hey y’all, I’m Ben—most folks online know me as Pig Farmer Ben. I’m a Jesus-follower, husband, father, and pig farmer who loves firing up the smoker and feeding the people I care about.

I didn’t just want a smoker; I wanted a Yard Trophy—something sturdy, useful, and worth gathering around. After building mine and learning what worked, I put together this plan so you’d have a clear starting point instead of figuring everything out from scratch.
