At the heart of the kitchen area lies the built-in wood fired oven, which provides a large surface for high heat cooking. Customers can see the food cooking and fire crackling from the outside serve window.

The front serve window wall slides out to add working space. There is plenty of storage space in cabinets, racks, and under the oven.

Be your own commissary! The truck is licensed in Mesa County, Colorado as a full commercial kitchen.

A rear utility room contains a bathroom with toilet and hand wash sink for completely self-contained operation.

The room also contains easy access to the power system and extra storage.

Built in 2015 on a 26-foot U-Haul box truck that we stripped to the frame and built up from there.

The truck has new tires as of 2018 and many miles to go.

Fully powered by 110 volts through an inverter system, the kitchen switches seamlessly between either solar, generator or shore power.

Depending on the time of year, the bank of four 24-volt batteries can power the kitchen fully for up to 10 hours.

Fresh water is supplied to two hand wash sinks, a large kitchen three-compartment sink, and toilet.

Supply comes from either the 55-gallon tank or a shore hook-up for a continuous supply.

Hot water is supplied by a propane hot water heater.

In the spring of 2015, I purchased a 26-foot U-Haul box truck, stripped it to the frame, and began my longtime dream of building a new mobile kitchen.

Over several months, I built this food truck from the frame up, using similar materials and design principles to those used when building on the ground.
