Fight with the wind & lost.

[FireMan]

Cooked some country style pork wibs. They ended up barely edible cuz they cooked in 3 hrs at anywhere between 275 & 350 degrees. I can’t say I’ve had such a fluctuation in temps. It would jump or drop 20 to 30 degrees in seconds. Meanwhile climb in 30 degree blocks in minutes. The wind was fierce & I had the vents practically closed on my Weber. Went for a walk with my dog 1 1/2 hrs into the cook, came back 1 1/2 hrs later & the coals were spent & the meat had a nice "bark". Most of it was edible, little small porcels were, ahem, charred. Thank goodness for fat! Here’s proof:

I built a wind protector for up in the mountains it can change from up slope to down in minutes. Just give your self 12 inches around the grill and 3 sides so you always have one side to reach it. Works like a champ. The house normally blocks the one side.

You either need a wind break or you need to break some wind.

If sweaters make you sweat, then you probably shouldn’t wear a windbreaker.

I'm guessing that someone doesn't give a rip though...

They call the wind Mariah ... although I can suggest a few four letter alternatives if that would help ... 😎 ...

I fought the law and the law won.

Reminds me of a saying: "like minds sometimes think sorta the same way". Yup I know it reminded me of somethin.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
Have been contemplating buying a bandsaw to help cut up some of my cooks....quite possibly a jack hammer....jaws of life....

I guess a defibrillator wouldn't help.

[smokin fool]

Naw, tickers still not too bad....chompers is taken a beating though having to knaw thru some of my monstrosities.

With this cook, looks like you lived up to your moniker, FireMan.

[FireMan]

Yup, if ya can’t beat em, Fire em!

Burn Baby Burn...…...Disco Inferno!

[Troutman]

It's often advisable to not try to grill when conditions warrant otherwise.....



....at least you knew enough to not try doing something else private in the wind

A great learning experience for you. Like most things. When you mess something up is usually when you learn the most.

Not all bad you got to eat most of them.

I can emphasize with you. Dallas is given to gusty winds followed by calm. I built a windbreak which helps cut down the temp swings.
