Food Truck Catering

Catering in Howell, MI

There's something about a cold Michigan morning and a fire that's been burning since before dawn that just makes sense together. Colorado Pig Rig works that way — patient, low-and-slow, producing brisket and ribs with a smoke ring that tells you exactly how long they've been on. Howell is a town that appreciates things done right, and that's the only way Colorado Pig Rig knows how to do BBQ.

Colorado Pig Rig has set up at Jack Lowe Memorial Park when the whole neighborhood seems to wander out at once, drawn as much by the smoke drifting across the lawn as by whatever's on the schedule. Cleary University has seen Colorado Pig Rig turn a campus event into a genuine gathering — a brisket sandwich in hand changes the energy of any crowd. And on the quieter side of town, the Oaken Transformations Sculpture & Poetry Walk has become a place where Colorado Pig Rig's pulled pork and the smell of hickory smoke give people one more reason to slow down and stay awhile.

Michigan has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Michigan jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.

In Howell, health is licensed by Livingston County Health Department and fire permitting is set locally by Howell's fire authority.

If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Howell.

Colorado Pig Rig and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.

Thomas

Food Truck Booking Agent

Real-world truck builder and operator perspective for practical, grounded event booking.

Before a smoker ever rolls up to a Colorado Pig Rig event, Thomas has already worked through COIs, permits, health department alignment, fire suppression, and insurance minimums, drawing on real familiarity with Denver Department of Public Health & Environment requirements and Denver Fire Department standards. That instinct for standards paid off firsthand when a generator shut down mid-event; he traced it to a low-oil safety cutoff, topped it off, and had hearty BBQ service for events back on track with barely a hiccup. His rule for hosts planning smoky BBQ for hungry crowds: plan the service flow, not just the menu.

  • Built 200+ custom food trucks through fabrication work
  • Operator + builder perspective for practical fit

Thomas will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
