Having a barbecue sometimes feels like you’re heading to a war zone, with neighbors incessantly holding out their plates and kids running around and goofing off all over the place. You’ll find that you need to do more than just prepare ingredients and make sure you’ve got enough buns and meat for the party.

So be prepared for whatever and have everything you need within reach with the Tactical BBQ Apron.

Steampunk Locomotive Barbecue Grill: Chew Chew

This is a real man’s grill. Not some round pot on a tripod that you shove coals in and forget about on the back porch. If I have all the translations right, this was made by a group called “Tvoryukami” for a private owner. The guy loves to grill obviously and has a ton of money to burn (and now he has a place to do it.)

People in the Russian village near Ryazan Deulino don’t have a lot to do, so they are apparently craftsmen, building all kinds of cool stuff. Like this amazing 4-ton locomotive barbecue pit that has three bays and a brick-lined furnace. Some of the controls in the cab are even functional. For instance, the wheel turns the rotating spit.

This is a grill to kill all other grills. Maybe they can put it on the tracks and have a mobile barbecue.

Oil Truck Turned into a Massive, Rolling Barbecue Grill

This oil truck is a superhero. When the lid is closed, it looks just like all the other tankers at Ken Foster’s oil delivery company. But it’s hiding a secret identity. Under its lid, it’s actually a not so lean, mean, portable grilling machine. And it can cook a lot of meat at one time.

With the push of a button, the whole tanker opens up, revealing a traveling kitchen inside, complete with a four-burner stove, 42-inch grill and stainless steel prep counter. The owner of Hall Oil and grill store Breakaway in South Dennis, Massachusetts started planning the mobile grill about a year ago when he started collaborating with Gary Webb, of Gary’s Truck Equipment in neighboring Harwich. It cost them about $40,000 to outfit the truck with all of the cooking mods. Now, they drive around their so-called “X Grill” and rent it out for private parties and fundraisers.

Now you’re cooking with oil… truck. That’s one awesome mobile man-grill guys!
