"Who would have imagined an enormous barbecue pit rolling around on 18 wheels? The mystery doubles when realizing those wheels are attached to a traditional, bright-red Peterbilt truck - though there's nothing traditional about its current use. In the trucks' current incarnation as the "Undisputable Cuz" barbecue pit, it travels, aided by highway escorts, when duty calls for charity functions, disaster relief, or holiday events. It's considered the world's largest mobile BBQ smoker, according to the rig's owner, Terry Folsom, who hails from Brenham, Texas."
"Just heating up this wood smoker ( the only way to cook Texas barbecue) can take up to 2.5 hours, requiring a patient pitmaster with a real passion for large-scale smoky Texas-made barbecue. Building the rig took about six months to complete, after which Folsom, along with family members and local chefs, hit the highway to help feed 55,000 first responders and victims of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, as well as working alongside the Salvation Army in Galveston."
The Undisputable Cuz is a 76-foot, roughly 40-ton mobile barbecue smoker built in 2000 by a championship Louisiana pitmaster and now owned by Terry Folsom of Brenham, Texas. The rig features seven smokestacks, 24 pit doors, and about 800 square feet of cooking area capable of smoking 8,000 to 12,000 pounds of meat at once. The wood-fired smoker requires up to 2.5 hours to heat and took about six months to construct. The rig travels with highway escorts to charity functions, disaster relief, and holiday events, and has fed tens of thousands, including 55,000 people after Hurricane Harvey.
