Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, daylight in Holton Hill ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
