Mother Nature has taken my WSM and abused her

. It blew the smoker over in a thunderstorm even though it was tucked behind 2 stable objects. I have some reshaping work to do because the smoker doesn't like to be blown across the concrete patio and smashed into flagstone. Has anyone made a nice secure base for these that are storm proof. The kettle went unscathed so the wind wasn't that strong. Thanks for the help.
 
Short of building a platform for it, why not just bungee cord it to the two other stable objects? Then the storm would have to take the all down.

I still haven't cooked with my cart yet, but it held up in a very windy rainstorm last night. It definitely would have been blown over last night, but the cart is very heavy-duty. Take a Sunday to make one, you'll be happy.
 
I keep mine in the garage as Toby stated. I try not to give my male labs much of a target

Just a thought a couple of tap-cons and conduit straps will secure your wsm to your patio, or a large concrete paver.

great something else I should worry about with my 2 WSM. I never thought about it blowing over till now. I just changed my deck a bit and have them on an corner edge. If they get blown off they are taking a 20" drop to the hard ground below.
