Here I had planned to do my 9+ pound pork shoulder overnight, starting in a few hours. But the weather forecast has gotten progressively worse. Wind? Cold? Some light rain? Yeah, I can deal with those individually. But it appears that here in Michigan, we are getting a little nip of the western edge of Joaquin (the hurricane), as we're supposed to be getting winds ~25 mph with gusts to 40 from the northeast (which essentially hits me square in my barbecuing area), and rain, not to mention temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
So it looks like I do the shoulder Monday or Tuesday. I'm still perfecting getting the WSM methods correct in good weather, so I don't need three variables to deal with.
At what point do any of my smokin' cohorts here decide to put off a smoke? For the veterans, have any wild stories about battling the elements because you just cant wait for the weather to get your fix?
I do want to smoke a few things in winter, but that might be pushing it.
