What says Cowboys more than a chuck wagon?
It was the center of a cattle drive. The hearth where the cowhands gathered for nourishment and camaraderie.
Where the cook reigned supreme; tolerating no complaints and certainly no horses near his fire. Carefully arranged to the cook’s exact liking, not to be messed with or invaded.
The chuck wagon was his domain: he guarded it jealously, but shared it generously.

Fascinating! I’d never heard of a chuck wagon before – being an uninformed Brit!

The chuck wagon was a staple used in cattle drives and round ups. After retiring from ranching my husband built chuck wagons. He grew up as a cowboy and was very familiar with these unique traveling kitchens.
