Festivals, Events, and Catering
At Big Al’s BBQ, we believe BBQ is better when cooked on wood. With that idea in mind, we slow cook pork, ribs, chicken and beef brisket in a 32 ft. mobile kitchen with an Ole Hickory Smoker mounted on the back. All our meats are smoked on hickory wood. The mobile kitchen has refrigeration, freezer, warming cabinet, required sinks, three 40lb. double basket fryers, char-broil grill, steam table, heating & air, fresh water tank. waste water tanks and on board generator which gives us the ability to travel to different places and prepare food on the spot.
