Where do I begin?
All outdoor venues need to have a hood and fire protection that has a roof?
What about that push cart with a canvas umbrella? It that a roof?
You will need electrically to power up the hood. That means a bigger generator, more noise and fumes. Next you need to have that hood inspected and cleaned 2x per year minimum. As for the fire protection, I assume they mean an “Ansul” type of system that also needs to be tested and inspected 2x per year. I do not know how the cold weather effects the chemicals as most of these types of systems are installed within a conditioned building. Sense these food service units are mobile and can be in NH one day then MA another day and possibly another state another day. That could mean that you need to have each state/town not only verify by require a new inspection of the “systems”. NRPA also states that during an event the exhaust hood needs to ramp up to full speed and the supply fan (I assume the great outdoors need to be turned off for the unit to work properly. Also the fuel source needs to be interlocked so that the fuel gets shut off during that event. One more point is that all of this needs to be “tied” into the buildings existing fire alarm system for notification to the proper authorizes and occupants.

Protect the bears and foxes from that blaze within the trailer
