Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
