The Houston Chronicle reports that a Texas trucker, Terry Folsom, shows off his massive 18-wheeler meat smoker. The rig is 76-foot long, and weighs 40 tons. The big rig BBQ pit can cook 8,000 to 12,000 pounds of meat at a time, enough for thousands of hungry folks. Folsom said he uses it only for charity. He has used it to help the Salvation Army in Galveston and for Hurricane Harvey relief.Houston Chronicle writer, Danny Hermosillo, relays in his article, "Folsom said the barbecue grill/pit trailer is the largest mobile smoker in the world. The custom-made trailer was built in 2000, has 24 smoking compartments and a firebox in the shape of the state of Texas at the rear." Folsom, who is based in Brenham, said he bought the 18-wheeler smoker about seven years ago from a world champion BBQ pitmaster who fell on hard times.
