I was planning to, low and slow, a brisket for a pre Christmas party, starting the cook bright and early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, (Thursday) is looking like a beautiful day, with a high around 57 degrees and light breezes, so no problem cooking. My worry is, a high wind warning, (with gusts as high as 60 mph) is in effect for my area late Thursday night or early Friday morning. We are also in a severe drought here in Albuquerque, so I'm very concerned about any remaining hot embers escaping the Performer kettle overnight and burning down my entire neighborhood. My questions are; Will the kettle contain hot charcoal/embers in a high wind event? Is their any simple or realistic way to extinguish all hot materials when the cook is finished? Should I just wait for better conditions? Any practical advise and previous experiences will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to all.
