Has anybody purchased or created a Weber Kettle lid vent "Umbrella". Would like some ideas so I can smoke in the rain and not worry about water raining in on my meat.

Even in a heavy rain the amount of rain that will get thru that lid vent is very small and not worth worrying about during a normal length cook on a kettle.
On my kamados I have used a metal roof vent cap in the past during very long cooks if it is raining all day but I've found that really isn't' necessary.
If you do feel the need for something I'd try using some heavy duty aluminum foil and fold it to form a ten and then use a couple magnets to hold it to the lid.

Hard to follow that post from CaptainMike but here's my setup for rain. 4 X 6 foot ozark trail canopy. It's easy setup and take down and can be done by one person.
