Where a mobile kitchen helps in Chugwater
Chili Cook-off day
The cook-off has been held on the third Saturday of June at Staats Park since 1986, with chili and salsa contests, a ranch rodeo, and live music. Organizers and vendors who face thousands of visitors for one day may need extra cooking and dishwashing capacity.
Interstate winter storm
Chugwater averages about 70 inches of snow a year, and I-25 carries heavy traffic through town. When a storm strands travelers or crews, a mobile kitchen and restrooms can help feed and shelter people near the highway.
Loss of a local food source
A December 2012 fire destroyed the town's grocery and gas station after a vehicle crash. If a main food source or restaurant is lost to fire or equipment failure, a temporary kitchen and refrigeration trailer can bridge the gap.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I set up a trailer for the Chili Cook-off?
Ask the event organizers about vendor space, rules, and deadlines. Temporary food service also needs approval from the state and county health authorities, so confirm with them early because the event is held in mid-June.
Does a winter storm affect trailer delivery on I-25?
Snow, wind, and ice can slow or close I-25. We follow WYDOT road reports and plan around them. If a storm is active when you call, tell us your deadline and we will discuss realistic options.
Do you take emergency calls for Chugwater?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Cheyenne warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Chugwater when we quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
