BBQ'n in the rain

Nice, add a golfing umbrella to get you there and Robert's a close relative

I've got a parasol that I can use for everyday cooks or a I break out he gazebo if I'm going to be using multiple grills/smokers. Don't think rain has ever stopped me from cooking outside. If it is very windy outside that's a lot more difficult to cope with

Now Chris-m!!! Why didn't I think of that???? I've sold enough of them

I keep intending to extend the flue out through the side or roof, but have found that the smoke hasn't actually been that much of an issue - although the overlap keeps the rain from coming in, it lets the smoke out.

Another idea was to put a box in the roof, and duct the flue through that, as a cold smoking box. But I wasn't sure if it would be cool enough for safe cold smoking (above the grill - perhaps not), and I have a ProQ Cold Smoke Generator anyway.

The problem I have with the rain is that I forget to put the cover back on the BBQ. Did a pizza on the OTG last night, the BBQ was still hot so left the cover off and of course this morning it was sodden with rain.

I think we've all had a similar problem at one time or another

Here's hoping that the hints and tips won't be neded this weekend, especially at the Big BBQ.
Good luck to all taking part (especially those on our forum )

I was going to say... looks like we'll be needing this advice today.
