No longer will the pit barbecue concept be used, however firefighters have used their expertise in the fabrication of metal to construct a giant meat smoker capable of holding 80 roasts. The concept, design, and fabrication were all done by the firefighters.

The meat which was a shoulder roast in the past will be tri-tip roast rubbed with seasonings and then cooked for nearly two hours resulting in a plump and crusty finished roast.

The meat will be thinly sliced on a bun and served with beans and potato salad and a drink for $10.00. A kid’s option will include hotdogs and chips for $5.00. 

This second longest lasting event in Riverside County is a great tradition and we invite not only the local community, but all would like to share a great experience.
