- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
