World's Largest BBQ Weighs 50 Tons | RIDICULOUS RIDES

A TEXAN truck driver has created the world’s largest barbecue pit on wheels. Terry Folsom has been in the trucking business for over 30 years. Terry told Barcroft TV: “My passion is cooking meat and smoking it, so I own the largest barbecue pit in the world.” After purchasing the truck brand-new in 1997 from Houston, Terry decided to add his own personal touch - a 76ft-long BBQ. Terry said: “It’s the largest in the world. The truck weighs about 22,000lbs and the trailer weighs 80,000”. The smoking pit is at the back of the truck and took about six months to be built. On the front of the pit there is even a place for a big TV screen, stereo equipment, a freezer and beer taps to hook up kegs. Kimberly King, Terry’s wife, told Barcroft TV: “We acquired this thing through a business deal!” Terry and Kimberly put on a lot of cook-offs and cook free food for the first responders in town. Kimberly said: “We have taken it to the Salvation Army several times and fed the homeless and the veterans for Thanksgiving. During Hurricane Harvey we fed 55,000 people in 11 days.” But with a vehicle this long, it’s not easy to drive around. Kimberly added: “It is costly to move it. You have to have special escorts because it is overweight and over linked. To move out of our driveway alone, we have to have people block traffic because it takes us all the other side of the road.” Terry and Kimberly have no plans to sell the truck as it makes them feel so good when giving back to their community.
