How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, sunset in Cores End is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
What happens in bad weather?
