For those who just cater, where do you cook...

I use the great outdoors..have a concession trailer but have the use of a commisary. The way it was explained to me by inspector I can cook (smoke) outdoors. Its no different than goijng to someones house for a party and cooking for them.In fact I got inspected yesterday and she deducted 2 pts because I was cooking outdoors, have a smoker inside but its too hot. But for a catering job you can cook outside just like they do at special events....my .02

We are using a trailer tech 818 custom. The commisary law we have here is the same as yours but you would be amazed at what can be considered a commisary. As long as you are not hooked up to a residental house it can be considered a commisary if you have potable water and a greywater dumpsite. Since we can not store our rig in the restored area where we live we worked a deal with the rv park where we store it that they are listed as our commisary. I know a guy who is renting an abounded carwas (the put a quarter in kind) and they have allowed that. But we both have full refrigeration, freezing and hot water capabilities so i think that is the key aspect.
hope this helps

Man DMA I just had a thought.
try to work out a deal with the Farmers market to list them as your commisary. Who knows a couple racks of ribs and the occasional beer can turkey and they just may go for it

Thanks for the info. I am goin going to look into it.

by the way dma,
beer can turkey is more fun than beercan chicken. you have to drink 1/2 of a fosters 1 quart beer before inserting it into the turkeys bottom
