Chuckwagon

A chuckwagon, or chuck wagon, is a horse-drawn wagon operating as a mobile field kitchen and frequently covered with a white tarpaulin, also called a camp wagon or round-up wagon. It was historically used for the storage and transportation of food and cooking equipment on the prairies of the United States and Canada. They were included in wagon trains for settlers and traveling workers such as cowboys or loggers.

In modern times, chuckwagons feature in special cooking competitions and events.
Chuckwagons are also used in a type of competition known as chuckwagon racing.
