I watched the Food Channel's lastest episode of "Unwrapped" which featured a number of topics on BBQ. At the beginning of the show, they featured a barbecue that was so large it had to be hauled by a diesel truck tractor...an 18 wheeler in all.
The barbecue rig (diesel and barbecue trailer) was 100' long and 18' high (believe the highest part was the diesel's smoke stacks which may collapse to allow the rig to pass under most bridges). In transit, it had to be escorted by local and highway authorities due to size. Nicknamed "The Cuz", it could barbecue 3 tons of brisket or 2,000 chickens at one time. Owner barbecued at functions with 140,000 attendees. May have been some type of fair where not everyone ate his product.
To say the least, it was huge. It looked like a series of very large stick burners strung in a single row with platform in front of smokers (running along the whole side of the trailer) for the cooks and hauled by a diesel tractor trailer with sleeper compartment. Said, it was worth $750,000. It was huge.
Couldn't figure how someone could make money on the investment, but that might not have been the purpose of the endeavor.
Larger than my Elite.
