Shafer hibachi FAQ
What about mosquitoes?
The grill's heat and smoke help more than you'd think. A couple of fans by the table handle the rest.
Can you come to the cabin?
You bet. Send the fire number or address and tell us about the road; travel is figured from there.
Do you charge to drive to Shafer?
Yes: $50 for the first 50 miles and a dollar a mile beyond that. The exact amount for your Shafer address shows up when you book.
How long is the chef there?
About ninety minutes on the grill, plus setup before and a cleanup of the cooking area after.
Do you cook in winter?
On a mild day in an open garage, yes. The grill never goes in a closed space, so January is usually out.

Chicken, steak, shrimp, scallops, salmon or vegetable tofu. Filet mignon costs $5 extra and lobster tail $10 extra.
