Lit the WSM at 10:00am (minion method) and placed a rack of pork butt ribs on the grates and waited for the temps to rise. Weather man called for rain later in the day. Rain and wind started about 11:30am. Couldn't get the temps past 200*. About 4:00pm took the ribs off the grill because the water was running down and into the smoker and the coals were sizzling out(had the top vent foiled and covered as a rain flap). Water was running in through the top and bottom connectors. Ribs could have used another hour but were edible.
I'll definately drill a small hole in the bottom ash catcher because this morning water was running out of the bottom vents. 4" of rain and 20mph winds. I understand most people don't grill in the rain but it would be great if Weber could reform a lip on the top and bottom connectors to keep rain from running down the inside of the grill and filling the ash catcher with water.
What do you "Grilling Guru's" do to keep the rain out? I still love my WSM!
