I talk to many people on many forums over much of the country and then looked at what my costs are in my great state of NY which are higher than most and winged it from there.

Excellent. I have thought about doing something like this a million times. Glad to see that somebody is successfully doing this. I got a few years until retirement, I'll probably just wait until then. Meanwhile I'll just do fairs, etc.

We took our totall costs for the day - labor, fuel, pellets, supplies, all groceries - everything, except the trailer and truck x 2 at a minimum. We then compared our prices to the local sit down place, made sure we charged just as much (ours is better), made the servings large and took off.

Shane is a bit anal in figures. He gripes about his operating costs being higher than the competition, who uses only gas. His prices are higher, but he seems to be slowly pushing the other guy out of business.
