Typically, I draw upon the following equipment to support events:
The 2007 K2500 8' Bed, Crew Cab, 4WD Chevrolet Pickup for Towing. Friends/Staffers with small pickup trucks sometimes assist.
Currently, three trailers support the works. Each Trailer has a specific purpose for the operation.
█ The 16' Cargo Trailer (Pig Roast/Grilling/'Go Large' Platform). With a generic set of tie-downs, this unit was purposely configured to be diverse. The default equipment aboard includes a Roaster, a huge commercial propane grill, a huge commercial charcoal grill, and 4 King Cooker stations. This means that it will support PIG ROASTS *AND* GRILLING events, which have been logistically difficult to do before. With a simple reconfiguration, the pig roast/pig roast support gear can be removed, and one additional large propane grill can be placed...to support large headcount grilled events. This is the "Headcount Multiplier" unit which I refer to as "Going Large". (For more on large headcount events, please click Here). Here's the primary equipment aboard;
"Big John" Commercial Propane Grill 1 Aboard the
trailer by default (2 more in storage, available for
Very Large Headcount events.)
"Big John" Commercial Charcoal
Grill 1 Aboard the trailer by default.
Pig
Roaster #3 Aboard the trailer by default.
20x20 Professional Internal Frame Party Canopy with 3 Clear wind walls.
Meeting FlagPole To Find The Party in Large Parking Lots.
Communications Center: WhiteBoard/CorkBoard, useful for
sustained events where people are trying to meet.
█ The 14' Cargo Trailer (Pig Roast Platform).
This is the unit that flies most often. It contains *everything* to support a Pig Roast professionally, including the
longest of the three pig roasters, 3
EZ-Up Canopies, tables, serving & carving apparatus, king
cookers, garbage cans, sink... This allows sides, salads, and
"full service" roasts to happen.
The 16' & 14' Cargo Trailers both contain:
Crappy Stereo System onboard both trailers
(small speakers can be placed on either side of trailer), including 5 disc CD
player, and an IPOD connection.
Tools and various other handy odds and ends, to get us thru
the event.
Serving Tables Fold up banquet tables, usually 6 per trailer.
Table skirting, when appropriate.
Serving Equipment & Utensils & Full array of
Cooking Utensils.
Portable Dishwashing Apparatus...(For the colder weather roasts, a Coleman Hot Water heater is added). 125' of Culinary grade RV hose to support.
Several 33 Gallon Garbage Cans to support foodservice area.
Hundreds of feet of Electrical cord to support operations, with all sorts of splitters, connectors, etc.
Scene Lighting for Nightime Operations (From 'Mellow colored rope lights', to 'Clip on Spots', to 'dual-head scene halogen floodlights', etc).
Portable Salad Bar one per trailer.
Sterno Powered Cheapo Steam Tables The Non-fancy Wire Ones, too many
to count.
█
The 6' x 10" Cargo Trailer (Unit "B" Pig Roast
Platform). New as of 9/05. This cargo trailer is
specifically configured to support a basic pig roast, run by a staffer, when the
primary unit is already out on a full service job (with Eddie). More
or less, the "Sorry, I'm busy that day, but this is the best I can do instead"
trailer.
This contains Pig Roaster #2, some tables, some garbage cans,
2 10x10 EZ-Up canopies, and a minimal set
of support gear to accomplish the mission. The unit was
purposely made light and sleek so a staffer can tow it with a mid sized truck.

The Pig Roasters: 3 total. All situated inside the various cargo trailers discussed above. A closer look:
-Pig Roaster #1 (The Longest unit, 2' longer than the others pictured) lives aboard my 14' Pig Roast Support Trailer (Unit A). This roaster can also be towed by itself. With a simple charcoal rack conversion, this Roaster can be used as a massive standard grill for Burgers/Dogs/etc..
-Pig Roaster #2 now resides in the 6'x10' cargo trailer, supporting "B" roasts. This is also a towable roaster.
-Pig Roaster #3 is the same cooking chamber as Pig Roaster #2, but is NOT towable. More like a big Wheelbarrow. The three roasters can combine to support foodservice for 450 people, or more(?). This roaster lives aboard the 16' cargo trailer.
-Stainless Steel Rib Rack(s), (full and half racks) are used in conjunction with the pig roaster(s) to augment grill space.
General Purpose Equipment (Drawn upon as needed):
-Array of
King Cookers Two single-stand, one tall, one short.
Two more shortie ones. (Corn
pots or Simple Deep fryers). 2 taller double-burner units (Corn, Sauces).
-Generator (Kind of Old and Loud, but is a workhorse...) .
-A
Portable Husky Power Battery Unit. Sometimes perfect just to
give the trailers light for load out, without having to mess with the big noisy
generator.
-Seven 10' x 10'
EZ-UP/CARAVAN White Canopies, usually used to cover the food tables.
Two of these have 4 white zippered wind-walls. By default, 3 of my
nicest ones are aboard the 14' Pig Roast Cargo Trailer. 2 Aboard the
"B Unit" trailer.
-Large Coolers/Ice I have 8 very large coolers of the 100-150qt range. And a ton of smaller ones.
-320 Quart SSI Marine Cooler. I own two. Mainly used to transport whole pigs safely.
-400lb/day Manitowac Commercial Ice Machine back at home.
-Drink Coolers
2 larger Yellow Igloo drink dispensers. (5 Gallon), one small 2.5 gallon water
dispenser.
