I previously had a Q200, and sometimes when it was windy outside and the grill was on the low settings, the flames would go out.
Not sure if it's because of the gaps in the sides, or maybe wind getting in through the bottom, or maybe sucking air out through the bottom.
In recent years I have used a regular kettle and a performer, but recently acquired a used Q120 for those days where I'm just cooking burgers or hotdogs.
It seems the problem is not so bad on the Q120, but it still does it sometimes. And since that little grill gets screaming hot unless you have it on low, that's where it's usually set.
Does anyone have any tips to using the Q grill in windy weather (apart from the obvious solution: finding somewhere to put it, where it's shielded from the wind).
Not sure if it's possible (or even a good idea) to block one of the gaps with tinfoil, or maybe just set it on medium and use two roasting-trays or some tinfoil to shield the food.
