BBQ Grill & Smoker Train

P Train’s BBQ grill and smoker train is the epitome of functional art. Not only is the Klose BBQ Pit’s built train a one of a kind visual delight, it also serves up the tastiest slow cooked meats, smoked pizza’s and grilled hot wings you’ll ever eat from the belly of a train.

So how did we end up with a BBQ Grill and Smoker that looks like a train?

P Train’s signature train was first inspired by a famous train, the train at Disneyland. The Disneyland train is a staple for all Southern California locals and while watching it pull into the station during a visit with his family, it struck Pat that this would be an awesome style to make into a BBQ Grill and Smoker.

While both trains have the same 1850’s styling, that is where the similarities end.

Here are some fun facts about P Train’s BBQ train.
