Bar-B-Q, yummmm

[SCBO1]

Have any of you had a Bar-B-Q joint open up in your area and what are you looking for on the review?
Looking at a Bar-B-Q trailer set up outside the back door, what should I be aware of? And don't say fly's!
Health Department should chime in with some requirements?
Containment?

Other perspectives from afar?

Done a few locally, but all have used a self-contained outdoor smoker unit with a pass-thru opening to the interior of the building. Electronic lock on pass-thru doors triggers a smoke evacuation fan and delays opening of door until smoke cleared (thus no hood required). Main thing was to over-frame the opening by 6-in on all 4-sides and stainless cover around door on both sides.

I think they just want to back a cooker on wheels in out back and set up shop at an old strip-mall restaurant location. It would be the only outdoor cooker set up here. Waiting on a little guidance from the health department.

obviously not in Calif. or it would require a smoke filter.

Normally health wants cooking area covered

Suggest ten feet from any combustibles

Require metal container for ashes.

Once a week inspection, including the meat.

How are they going to start the fire?

This is what we had locally.

Bar-B-Q trailer

We do nothing, it is a trailer, just keep it 10 ft from the building overhangs and give it to the health department to regulate.
