LOL No, no worry about my stealing the idea, although it does sound
like fun. I'm enjoying retirement and have plenty of things to keep
me busy, already. And, regretfully, I'm not wealthy and looking for a
place to put venture capital. :-)

I doubt that the health department would be a great obstacle. The
septic tank might be a bigger problem, but, if it has enough capacity,
having a couple of dozen peope there for a few hours a couple of times
a week might not be too much for it. And, having it pumped might be
another deductible business expense, or at least partially. (I'm
sorry, buy I was an accountant and just can't get my mind off those
kinds of things.)

I was thinking of the shelter partly because I'm thinking that oven
would put off a LOT of heat and an open-sided shelter would allow the
heat to be carried off. But, I really don't know anything about them.
Maybe I'm wrong.

BTW, Mary Fisher posted something to alt.bread.recipes this morning. I
thought I had seen that name!

Pretty much! Dont't be stealin' my idea, now!!! LOL- Unless you're
rich & want to finance me! I do wonder what kind of grief the health
department would give. Where I live is outside the city limits. We are
on a septic tank, so I think that would be an issue. I do think the
oven would have to be indoors, as well as prep areas, but I like your
idea of the sheltered picnic areas. Hmmmmmmmmm............
