IK, I've gotta ask - how can it get so cold and wet that you can't cook outside? A little rain doesn't hurt, and a little wind just keeps the fire ventilated. Guess I've gotten so spoiled by South Texas weather that I take it for granted that it's possible to cook any ol' time we feel like it. Got a little shower while I was grillin' the burgers last night, and they didn't mind at all. It gets kinda sporting in a real downpour, but we don't get many of those. Cooked once last year during a tropical storm, or maybe it was the year before. We don't mind, we're saying thanks for every drop. But I am thinking about being real optimistic about the prospects for heavy rain this year, and building a pavillion over the barbecue pit.
