Rain

Preparing for a family party this weekend and it is supposed to rain. I have not used the WSM in the rain yet. What should I expect for rain and fall like temp?
 
When it rains I try to keep the WSM sheltered as best as I can. I use a patio unbrella to keep most of the rain from hitting it directly. Cool weather does not effect it at all. Freezing weather does effect how you set the air vents, and causes the charcoal burn rate to increase.

The biggest threat is wind. Wind can play havoc with lots of things.
 
I place a rectangle oil drip pan from the hand railing on my deck to where it covers the whole WSM and sits on the lid handle. Then take slide or c-clamps and fasten the one end down to my deck handrail to keep the wind from blowing it off. I just don't have any covered area in which to cook, I'm open to any suggestions until I can afford to construct something better. This seems to work just fine for the WSM but it sure don't keep me dry.
