Creative Grilling

I like whom ever figured this out. I mean, you are at the store already buying steak, why not just continue on with the cart you were using! Then, find an abandoned well and some sticks, BINGO! Spontaneous cookout.

Shopping Cart Grill

You might also remember this rig I posted about at a UT tailgate event. Another creative shopping cart interpretation. Who knows, maybe they are brothers?

Tour de Cheese

I am thinking about setting up a grilled cheese tour. I don’t even care if I have to bring bread and my George Foreman grill to every artisan cheese maker around. Sure, they will laugh. But, nobody messes with the George. Now all I need is a thirty mile extension cord.

Well, this past weekend wasn’t quite the spectacle of the previous one (Texas Tech). Everyone kept saying, “you should have been here last weekend” (I was). Because of the early game time, many tailgaters left their big rigs at home. That’s not to say that there were not some interesting grills cooking up a storm.

This thing is massive. It must be at least 15′ tall at the top of the stacks. Two fireboxes feeding a enormous rotisserie smoker. Marcus Tejada, of the Tejada Diehard Horns Tailgate, built this from scratch with his uncle last year. Click on the link below for more pictures…

Why is this man smiling? Because he is smoking up the top parking lot at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium for the opening game of the UT football season (spoiler alert: UT won and all the BBQ was eaten). I was surprised that there were not more big rigs in attendance like this one.

This is the official Moonshine Restaurant (link sound warning) rig, piloted by non other than Paul “Heavy P” Smith. Heavy P had it going on with brisket, sausage and chicken in the smoker and on the grill.

Wicked Coals

B&B makes wicked good coals. Central Market sells their product or you can order direct. Oak and Mesquite, Mesquite, Hickory Chips and Chunks…hell, they will even sell you firewood.
