Weather: cover for equipment and personnel, wind protection for open flame, and a plan for rain on electrical equipment.
Placement: level, stable, non-combustible surfaces with required clearances from tents, structures and the public.
Compliance: local regulations, fire requirements, ventilation, food safety and venue-specific rules. Confirm these for your location — they vary widely.
