Bryan's BBQ Catering Expansion

For years, I have enjoyed grilling and smoking beef, pork, chicken, and other meats.  The past couple years I have started catering for several small events and really enjoy doing it.  The feedback I have received from my customers is my food tastes great and some have said it is some of the best they have ever had.  Many have told me I should grow into a catering business and take on bigger groups of people.
Well it is time! I need to expand my capacity and need to acquire a commercial size smoker. Traeger makes some of the world's best smokers, I currently cook on a Traeger, and they make an excellent commercial smoker that would allow me to take on larger groups of people. It is pictured below.
This smoker will cost $11,000 after tax and shipping, there is a used one currently available and if I can raise the funds fast enough I will snatch it up for about a $4,000 savings.
If you help me in this endeavor, I have offered some rewards at various levels of contribution. Think of your contribution as a prepayment for some great BBQ/smoked foods in the near future.
I know that times are tight financially for a lot of people, and if you are unable to contribute, I completely understand.  I would still enjoy any feedback you have for me on this endeavor, and if you could share this campaign I would greatly appreciate it. Others may feel that contributing is just giving money away, I have felt the same in the past, but like I said above think of any contribution, especially at the higher levels, as prepaying for catering for an event in the future.
Here is what one of my past customers said about me:

"As a record label owner and concert promoter, one of the most important things is to make sure that the artists are taken care of. I have hired Bryan numerous times and he is always on time...makes plenty of great barbecue...is friendly and most importantly- communicates effectively. I will always use him!"
