Problem i see with that is, at your market, people won't be able to stand by your pit and look at food.
The HD is gonna make you keep your pit seperate from where you vend and the Fire Inspector is gonna make you keep the pit barricaded from the public. YMMV

I totally agree about seeing the food. Customers are constantly trying to look over each others shoulder when we pull a rack to cut or pull something from the smoker behind us.

Here is the serving counter at Kreuz's. One person is the cashier, and the others are cutting, weighing and wrapping meat.

Great discussion guys! I've got a couple of questions that would help me out incredibly.
How big of an area are you guys vending in? I've been putting together a plan and most often I'm seeing a 10' x 10' area as the dimension with upgrades. Is the smoke an issue with other vendors? I'm trying to avoid this one if at all possible. |

10X20 is the minimum here for food vendors. Different for famrers and artisans. Talk to your market manager for details. There is no way to do 10x10 unless you show up with your meat already cooked.

It isn't clear that I can do it here in Vermont either. Meeting with the health department next to see how far I can take the concept.

I agree, food handling and serving has to be under your tent (10x10) so you'd have no room for a smoker.

As I talked about early in the thread. I might go for a second, adjacent, space of the same size. They charge $450 per space for the season.
