Shipping a smoker to Dubai

[ATI]

Anyone done it or know what steps are involved in doing so?

My little brother wants to **** a bunch of people off and open a BBQ joint in Dubai.
He wants a smoker shipped from here and wants to know how to and how much it will cost. (He prefers an American Made one instead of having one built there)

Buy pit. Contact a freight forwarder. Done.

Build one there. Lots of cheap labor.

I know that much,,, I need details from someone who has shipped items to dubai and ballpark costs

I'll bet it Will be a whole lot cheaper to have one built on site than to ha a good,and heavy,one shipped from here.

The company you buy the Pit from can get you quotes. When I bought mine, they quoted shipping and arranged the freight company.

I'll bet the freight is going to be way more than the pit. I think my cost was around $300.00 from Conroe area to Wylie.

You need size and weight to be able to calculate costs. Give me that and a ballpark destination of where it would ship from and I'll give you a very general ballpark cost

Thanks bubba!
I haven't picked the smoker yet, but I'm guessing around 500 pounds. Shipping from Texas to Dubai, UAE.

Start with a few Weber Smokey Mountains. Buy them off Amazon and ship them to Dubai.

So how is that going to work? No good hardwoods/trees growing there.

Couple of considerations.

Most of the steel pipe is coming from India anyway, so your build cost over there will be a lot cheaper. Secondly, what will he be cooking with? Keep in mind you won't be able to get any wood shipped in even if he could afford it and there dang sure isn't anything in Dubai to smoke with (Acacia being exception, but good luck getting any).

It's a neat idea and would be cool, but you'd have to get a sheik to back you

Man nobody is going to be able to give you ball-park, just too much that goes into it.

You need to find a freight forwarder and make sure they are giving you a door to door rate otherwise your brother will have to deal with the customs broker at the terminal over in Dubai once it gets there.

It will also have to be packaged with IPPC stamped materials, FF should be able to handle that as well but it is another cost driver.
