    Waiting on good weather

    I can't wait to get started grilling again this year. Looking forward to trying Meatheads ham recipe, The Ultimate Smoked Ham Recipe

    I think it's raining everyday. I melt in the rain so I'm gonna wait it out.
    Anyone else?

    I don't like grilling in the rain, but built a metal roofed pavilion just to have something to wheel the grills up under when its raining, and to keep the sun off when its hot and sunny. Before that I had a 10x10 popup canopy I would setup to keep rain off the grills. Gotta figure out ways to power through inclement weather!

      Ugh, I feel your pain. It's the end of March and it's been nothing but cold, rain, and/or snow since December. I occasionally power through it, but not with the frequency I cook during the warm months. Hurry up Spring!

          I even scored a brand new canopy out of this cook. The wind got it before I could anchor down the legs on the side you can't see in this picture and it ended up exactly upside down in the yard. Only a plastic joint in the top was broken, and when I contacted Coleman about a replacement part, they issued a warranty replacement for the whole thing!

                  Keltonfoss nope! I open the two mesh windows and the main entry flap into the tunnel. I leave the one at the smoker end closed. One smoker is up to temp it is safe and not eye watering to sit inside! :-)

                  MeatMonster At the very least, I did end up picking one of these bad boys up at work for winter cooks, I am going to do some sort of an awning for spring and summer though. What are you using for light? I was thinking of just hanging some LED lights on the roof?

                  Keltonfoss pretty simple, I have an inspection lamp with hook, I just hang it from the roof frame. It's plenty bright, I am also in process of modifying my gmg to add an internal light.

                  Yep important consideration. The panels at the front and back zip open and the whitish square to right of the chimney is a mesh window. So very good airflow.

                  There's always a way. When I'm booked to cook for a event the weather doesn't always cooperate but I will say I've gotten lucky most of the time. The cook must go on!! Invest in a good rain suit makes all the difference.

                  If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

                  slow n sear
                  The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

                  The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

                  the good one grill
                  The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

                  Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

                  Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                  The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

                  Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                  The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                  Grilla pellet smoker
                  We always liked Grilla. The small 31.5" x 29.5" footprint makes it ideal for use where BBQ space is limited, as on a condo patio.

                  Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

                  The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

                  Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

                  kareubequ bbq smoker

                  The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

                  This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.

                  Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees.
