There may be some folks from Georgia or Tennessee who will disagree, but there is no doubt in my mind that Texas is the barbeque pit capitol of the world – particularly when it comes to trailer-mounted rigs.
Barbeque trailers start with single grill, single axle rigs – with or without a smoker box,
and move up to custom built rigs with stainless steel prep tables, refrigerators and sinks
or sometime with a roof and awnings
Sunday, as we were coming into Brenham from the west, we saw a rig that was way over the top – even for Texas.
Parked in a field off US290 was an 18-wheeler with an extra long tanker trailer on the back. I first noticed it because the trailer seemed extremely long and was painted flat black. As we got closer, I saw that it had about a half dozen smokestacks, and a huge chrome map of Texas on the back.
This was one of those times when I kicked myself for not having a camera along. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. For what it’s worth, the 18-wheeler we saw is not the only one of its kind. I did a Google search and found pictures of at least one more.
