Keeping To A Food Theme,

most regular readers will know we have a bar-b-q most Saturday evenings,


our bar-b-q is a small four legged sort of thing, but what if you want a bigger one for when friends call round? well here is the answer, it is a 40-ton, 75-foot monstrosity ventilated by seven chimneys is the world’s largest barbecue pit, it’s so huge that it needs to be carried around in a large truck and Local authorities have to issue special permits and escorts just to move the cooker down the road!  'it has 24 doors – 12 on this side, 12 on the other,' said owner Terry Folsom, proudly describing his prized possession, now wait for this, the pit can cook four tons of meat at a time! and also has a walk-in cooler with space for kegs attached to beer taps on the outside, but back to the cooking, you may have thought that this behemoth uses wood at an alarming rate, but in fact the heat that powers the beauty comes from a small fire that burns only a couple of cords of wood, a tube carries the heat along the length of the entire pit, 


but here is a bit of good news, the king-sized mobile barby is up for sale, on eBay for a whopping $350,000, but the price doesn’t cover the low-mileage 18-speed Peterbilt that houses the pit, the vehicle will set you back by an additional $50,000, so for $400,000, lots of friends and a herd of cattle you are good to go!
