The Undisputable Cuz — The World's Largest Mobile BBQ Pit

BBQ & Smoker BuildsLargest homemade smoker

Terry Folsom of Brenham, Texas owns a 76-foot, 40-ton mobile BBQ pit built on an 18-wheeler that requires police escorts and special permits just to drive down the road. The 'Undisputable Cuz' features 24 pit doors (12 per side), seven smokestacks, 800 square feet of cooking space, a walk-in cooler, four beer taps, a TV screen, a generator, a propane fajita grill, and Texas-shaped dampers. It can smoke up to four tons of meat at once — that's 8,000 pounds of brisket in a single cook. But the Cuz isn't just for show. After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Folsom and his wife Kimberly spent 11 days working with the Red Cross, feeding 55,000 people. They've served Thanksgiving dinner for 1,200 through the Salvation Army in Galveston and cooked for Governor Abbott's 2015 inauguration. It was once listed on eBay for $350,000 but the Folsoms decided they'd rather keep feeding their community than sell.

Widely recognized as the world's largest mobile BBQ pit. It requires a Peterbilt truck and highway escort to move. Featured in TIME magazine, Texas Monthly, and on Barcroft's Ridiculous Rides. The combination of sheer scale and genuine community service (feeding tens of thousands during disasters) makes this the ultimate redneck achievement: absurdly over-engineered AND used for good.
