A twenty foot Jamaican jerk chicken truck delivered to Laramie, Wyoming, with the back six feet left open as a porch so the charcoal smoker never had to come inside the kitchen.

Open back of the twenty foot food truck showing the six foot rear porch — The rear six feet of the body is an open deck. No floor cabinets, no rear wall.

Jerk chicken cooked over gas is a different dish, so the fire had to be real charcoal. Rather than fight a solid fuel appliance into a working kitchen, the rear six feet of the body was left open. A sixty inch Backyard Pro charcoal and wood smoker stands in it on braked casters, under a stainless canopy with an exhaust fan directly overhead, and an RV door with a window in it separates the porch from the line. The porch has its own light, fan and two outlets on the panel.

Backyard Pro sixty inch charcoal smoker standing on the open rear porch of the food truck — 1,102 square inches of grate with three height settings, so the same fire can hold and then sear.

Inside, a six foot Type 1 hood with wet chemical suppression covers an Atosa thirty six inch range with a twenty four inch griddle, a forty pound fryer and an 80,000 BTU stock pot stove. An Eagle Group four pan steam table sits under a five by three foot self closing service window. Cold storage is a low height reach in refrigerator and an undercounter freezer hinged to open away from the aisle.

Atosa range with a twenty four inch griddle and a forty pound fryer under the six foot Type 1 hood — Range, griddle and fryer under the six foot hood. The smoker is nowhere near this ducting, by design.

Propane lives underbelly, in tanks slung beneath the floor and set forward of the rear so a knock from behind never reaches them. That is the standard on a truck. A trailer has no chassis to hang tanks under, so a trailer carries its gas in an external LP box on the tongue instead. Worth knowing which one you are buying, because an inspector looks for the tanks in a different place depending on the answer.

Water is thirty gallons fresh against forty waste with an eight gallon heater, plus a three compartment sink, a hand sink and a mop sink. Power is a 125 amp panel with all thirteen breakers labelled and twelve outlets, backed by a Westinghouse 12,500 watt dual fuel generator in an insulated box. Air conditioning is a heat pump, because Laramie sits at 7,200 feet and the season does not stop in September.

Laramie is unusual for Wyoming in that the city runs its own Environmental Health Division and issues the food service licence itself, with a separate mobile vending licence on top.
