You know those shepherds hooks for hanging baskets in your yard? I found a much better use for them. I always use this to hang my grates on, but I found another use as well. I needed an inclimate weather cover for my smoker this morning. I was doing a pork shoulder and it was supposed to rain so I had to figure out something. Well my trusted hook and a few hose clamps did the trick.

I like that idea, very cool. What type of base does the shepard's hook have?
-
I bet that corn rack would also work well as an upper shelf.

Nice trick with the hook, but what's with the Smokey Joe without a handle in the foreground? I know this guy who makes great handles, maybe he could make you a good deal on one.

The bottom has a little metal angle on it, it sticks in the ground for stabilization. You get them at Home depot or Menards. As for the Jumbo smarty pants, it's a resto project. I actually took off the handle, I just need to get some time to work on it. That's the one I was gonna sell once I fixed it up.

A kettle as a smoking setup.

Looking forward to seeing that finished Jumbo! And Brian, my heart skips a beat when I look at that corn rack. It would be a dream to find one someday. Congratulations!

I got the corn and tater rack on ebay for like $20 three weeks ago! I have two now!

i take about 12 or 15 inches of aluminum foil, squeeze part of it over the handle so the rest hangs over the vent.
while i don't WANT rain hitting the sides and top of my smoker, i don't really mind it unless it's towards the end of my smoke (when i don't want to add more lit fuel)
