I live in Florida and cook in the rain too
Yes those pop up thunderstorms can wreck havoc on a long cook.

What area of Florida do you live in ?

Cheers

I’m two hours north of you in Gainesville.
We’re all just passing time, it’s how you spend that time that matters.

Cheers

I grew up in and spent 17 years of my teens and early adult life in that town. 3 or 4 o'clock rain is just summer life there.

Post by: Easy on January 23, 2021, 08:13:29 AM: I lived in Northern KY for 25 or so years and they get fair amount of rain there 45+ inches a year. So I took a patio umbrella and by using a short 19 inch piece of PVC pipe end cap and two hose cramps , I attached the umbrella to the rear leg of my performer that way I could move it to where I was most needed. Very handy and stable too, and this way you always had a table handy.

Post by: PotsieWeber on April 18, 2021, 05:12:43 PM: When it rains, I often use what I'll call the Weber Firepit Method with my SSP.
Just to use the WFM would be another great reason to consider mounting a WSM in an old Performer frame.

Post by: PotsieWeber on April 18, 2021, 05:19:52 PM: I've also put up one of those 10 x 10 canopies & keep the canopy low (in case of wind). I'll pop it back up a bit when I want to check on things. I've also picked up quite a few of these dog stake out corkscrew things at garage sales & flea markets for $1 or even 50 cents, they really help anchor canopies, tents, whatever.
