Well, today's blizzard was not conducive to firing up my WSM. We've had snow and wind almost continuously for about 3 weeks now.
I need a solution to barbecuing in our extreme winter conditions. I miss it...! Here's what I've come up with; your opinion would be appreciated:
I intend to place the WSM in one corner of my garage and rig a smoke exhausting system. I could buy a large diameter metal bucket to use as a collector, hang it from the rafters, mount a 4" in-line fan in the top of the bucket, run dryer venting hose from the fan up and out over my garage door. I could hang a fire/heat resistant cloth, such as ironing board cloth, from the collector that would shroud the WSM with plenty of clearance for safety reasons.
I think I'd be safe from heat, carbon monoxide and all the other undesirables.
Wadda 'ya think?
