Smokin in the Rain

[Bill Beach]

I started my real first long smoke this morning in a nice big thunder storm. I decided to put the wsm under my big cherry tree. I rigged a golf umbrella and hung it from a branch of the tree right above the wsm. quite a chore getting the coals going and the wsm assembled. I assembled everything in the garage and carried it outside. I'll report on the butts upon completion.

Good luck. I did the same last week. Luckily I had some old doors out back. I set up the WSM next to the wall and leaned the doors against the wall at an angle so it would cover the smoker. Worked well.

As long as you aren't getting lots of rain on the smoker, you'll be fine.

I did a butt last weekend and it rained all night. I didn't even bother putting anything over it and it turned out fine. Although it was a light rain. I probably wouldn't try it if it was raining cats and dogs.

just pulled the butts off the smoker and they look great! I foiled them and will pull at around 5 pm or so. My Umbrella rig did the trick.

As a Newbee I just want to say this fourm is great. I have learned so much from you all. I really appreciate everybody and their willingness to help some of us newbees along. I will toast you all over a little pulled pork and wine tonight!
