Hangi risk assessment anyone?

[Stew]

I don't suppose anyone has a risk assessment and method statement for running a hangi that they would be willing to send me please?

Better drowned than duffers, if not duffers won't drown.

Sorry, I know that doesn't help for legal purposes but I reckon that quote from one of the Swallows and Amazons books should be better known. I actually saw it used a couple of years ago when a farm opened his river for a swimming festival. Instead of the usual legal disclaimers they simply handed out slips with those words printed on them.

Correct. Those books were part of my childhood inspiration and I still have another quote lurking at the back of my memory that replays itself every time the opportunity to do something new and potentially silly crops up. It's from "We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea" and says "Daddy says, always take a chance and you'll never be sorry for a might-have-been." It's got me into all sorts of strange places and experiences and occasionally into trouble, but by heck, I don't have many might-have-beens to regret.

Yes, a quote that I often use but that is sadly applied far to rarely in this litigation driven age.

A Hangi RA is I would think not common lol, Stew perhaps you could write what could well be the first on the matter?

I can tell you that I have burnt holes in several good T-Shirts (the wicking type) doing hangi firepits due to sparks coming off

I did wonder if it would be a non-existant item but thanks anyway.

I'll have to get my quill and best calligraphy out!

This article may be worth a look.

What a legend!

Thank you. Should give a real good basis to get what I need written up.

Paperwork time!!

Well, a successful hangi run at work on Thursday.

If anyone needs any risk assessment help feel free to drop me a line.

Oh come on now, you know the BCUK credo, "if there are no pictures then it didn't happen" Or at least tease us about how good it tasted!

 

[Stew]

It went something like this............

 

[Goatboy]

Cheers Stew that's cracking, and has as predicted made me feel hungry! You feel everything went to plan and was worth it? certainly looks it from the pictures.

 

[Stew]

Yep, all good!

There are a few little tweaks I would do to make it smoother but without a doubt, the food went down well!

3 hours of fire, 5 1/2 hours cooking and still very hot when dug up!
