Comments: 

Pick a day when you will have plenty of cooking time as this cannot be rushed (a rain day or a cool windy day); Seasonings vary as tastes do; use your imagination; try adding the juices left over from mustard pickles to give roast a sauerbraten flavour; or beer; or Dijon mustard; Cajun spice; etc. We reuse the styro container as fish bucket with damp sphagnum to keep it cooler.
