What's an outdoor smoker supposed to do?
[Reply]

ive smoked under an umbrella before... not ideal, but you do what you gotta do

the combo of the smoke and the sound of the rain is quite relaxing
[Reply]

We Newfies usually don't own umbrellas. Too windy.

Might be able to pull it off when the wind drops down a bit though.

Food for thought.

I've been wanting to build a cover for my patio for just that reason. I use a 10x10 tent now and I enjoy sitting out and listening to the rain. The tent is not ideal though. I'm fighting the wife on the cover because she likes sitting out in the sun during the summer.

I think I'll stick with the tent for now because last time I checked:
Tent + happy wife = :-)
If it ain't broke don't try to fix it.

Bummer about your weather tough. It's fixen to get pretty cold here this week too. Need to find some local brothers with a shack.

I hear ya brother! It's been way to cold out here to smoke a damn thing..

Y'all folks live in areas of the country that are not fit for human habitation. Any chance of snow means I can't live there.

We had 80 degrees here yesterday while herfing. :-)

build a smokeshack?
[Reply]

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm moving to VA in the middle of winter. I have no idea what I'm going to do for smoke breaks.
[Reply]

You should consider a retractable awning. That's what we plan to do. Cover when you need it and open skies when you want it. Not sure how much they go for though.

Unfortunately our postage sized lot is not big enough.

Bastage :-)

you could always build an igloo!!!

:-):-):-):-):-):-):-)

I have slept in snow shelters and would build one when the snow hits. Right now it's just mild, rainy and windy out.

I just had a quick smoke, lighting my cigar under the BBQ cover and huddling under the eave to keep it dry. Worked well enough.:-)
[Reply]

Move.
[Reply]

I can really feel the sympathy here.:-)
[Reply]

I agree, although it is just as hard to be comfortable hot in 115 degrees.

:-):-):-)
[Reply]

That's what a B&M is for! They build one out your way yet?
[Reply]

I totally agree. I hate the heat so much more than the cold. When it's over 85, I'm just uncomfortable...unless I'm in my kayak and can simply flip upside down in the 40 degree water for a quick cool off. Over 100 and I'm wishing I was dead.

In cold weather you can simply add clothes and you're comfortable.

Kayaker...you'd look funny, but I suggest you sit outside in a drysuit with thermal insulation. You won't even notice the weather.
