I've been looking into starting a roadside BBQ vending business. I've been talking with the local HD and it seems like that'll be a big help.
We still haven't decided between going with an enclosed trailer to do a larger menu or just going with a "cart & commissary" approach (any thoughts on that decision are welcome too). Won't be buying any EQ without HD input.
I just had a couple of questions for some of you guys who have made this sort of venture before. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated:
1-When/where do you do your smoking?
This may sound like a dumb question, but do you really smoke through the night every night? I can't think of any other way to have BBQ ready for a lunch crowd.
I just can't imagine the HD is okay with the idea of running a smoker while you sleep every night (not a safe idea to begin with).
2-How do you go about powering your unit?
I assume many of you are located at spots where you have a power supply negotiated from a property owner. I assume others use generators and gas. Just looking for some thoughts/ideas on how to get this done.
I have many more, but these are the burning ones right now.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
