EDDIE'S PORTABLE PIG-OUT: PICS OF THE BBQ/TAILGATE/BACKYARD PARTY OPERATION

If you'd like to see the Pig Roast Operation, Please Click over to "Pigroast Pictures".     The following pictures are mainly for BBQs/Weddings/Corporate Events/Tailgate Parties and generally the "full service" catering that can be accomplished with the 16' Trailer..    By the way, I have three trailers which can combine for jobs to very large headcounts.      If you'd like to learn more about BBQs, etc.. Click over to the Menu page.

A Front view of my older pickup truck...with the 16' BBQ trailer.  This is where it started.   Note the snow on the ground... just shows that sunny 70 degree weather is not required to operate :-)         For those of you seriously considering my services, I've created an entire page relating to what supports us, logistically speaking.  Whether it's a pig roast, or an event featuring grilled items, the logistical needs are similar.   Please click Here for that. 

The trailer no longer looks like this inside.   The trailer has been completely retrofitted inside with new, more professional gear supportive of larger headcounts.    It's also been standardized to have a similar look and feel to my other three trailers.   (This ultimately enhances crew's efficiency from job to job).     Please click over to the equipment page for a better discussion of the trailer, and please click over to "Large Jobs" for more info on events for very large headcounts. 

I have a fully operational stereo in the 16' trailer.  Not the greatest system in the world, mind you...but it does work, once in a while.. A single CD player, a tape deck, a receiver that works 95% of the time....and two sets of speakers, one permanently mounted inside, and one remote set that I hang on (either side) of the trailer's exterior.    I even added a cord making this Ipod/MP3 player compatible.    (If you need serious sound reinforcement, this ain't it...you have to hire a DJ with professional equipment).   Also note the crap that I carry: Extra Extension Cords, Flagpole, all sorts of tape, odds and ends... Lighting.

A side view of the 16' trailer's outside at a gig in 2009.  This is towed by the 2007 Chevy 2500 Diesel Pickup Truck.  

Here's the 20' x 20' internal frame party canopy, which is kept aboard the 16' trailer.   Shown here being put to the test at my own house party in the rain.  The clear wind walls are not shown. 

Here's one of the new grills aboard the 16' cargo trailer.  This is the charcoal one.   The legs unscrew for efficient storage.

Here's the other grill aboard the 16' trailer.   A Commercial Propane grill.   I have 2 more of these in storage. 

This is the roaster now situated in the 16' trailer.  (I own four similar roasters now).  Professional quality, Stainless Steel grates and additional grill racks (not shown here)....   typically used for 100-110lb pigs or smaller)...    Also can be used as a massive oven, capable of handling Ribs, Chickens, Turkeys, Top Rounds of Beef, Baked Potatoes, Whole Fish, Venison Roasts, Lamb Roasts, etc, etc.    It can also be used to heat trays.     Check out the pigroast pages for more info. 

Here's the iced up salad bar. A huge multi-layered salad, dressings on the side, served with croutons. Also a huge veggie tray with dips on the right.

Drinks are served "serve yourself style". Not pretty, but functional. The Brand Name Soda is in 2L bottles, on ice, with a good array of Brand Name Diet & Regular sodas. A cooler full of ice with a serving scoop. A Stack of Cups. A Bottomless jug of ice water (or bottled water, if desired). Some Juices.  

Here's a real nice shot of the Ayers kitchen area. We set under an awning, so the rain was no problem. With this Equipment, we could've easily handled 150 people.  Lighting allowed for Night Operations.

Here's a gig up at the New York State Renaissance festival for a company picnic.   Picture taken just before the start of the picnic. (Typically, I'm too busy to get good pics of people actually eating!!).    If you'd like to see a whole page dedicated solely to events at the NYSRF (including more pics), please click "here".

Here's the serving area for a small wedding up at the New York State Renaissance festival a handful of years ago   This was a drizzly day, hence the pair of EZ-UP canopies.   This shot and the one above depict the level of fanciness you can typically expect.   Functional and Cost effective, but far from "white glove"..

This is the footprint you can expect for the "The Big Pig Gig with Grilled Foods".   Five 6 foot tables in the front.   One table parallel and behind where the pig gets served to.  The width of the spread is about 10' (the size of the 10x10 canopy), the Length of the line is about 30 feet.    The client should provide the equivalent of three 10'x10" EZ-UP Canopies in the event of rain.    In this case, and EZ-Up was erected just for protection from the sun.    The Various "Super Deluxe Picnics" would have a similar footprint, minus the Roaster.   This picture was taken while standing on the gate of my 16' trailer.

 

Please Call (973) 627-2722 to Discuss Your Event.  Usually 6pm-10pm, Weeknights.  Please leave a Message otherwise.   Also be sure to mention the potential date(s), estimated headcount, location, and the nature of the event.     Thanks!
