Smoke On The Water

For me it is just par for the course I suspect.
So, I decided to smoke some pork steaks tonight for dinner. It went well for the first 45 to 50 minutes and then I looked outside and saw that it was pouring down rain.
Oh well. Luckily I am resourceful and know how to do what I do. So I can compensate for the wet and the temperature reduction and still get my desired result.
But man, this made me a little bit mad.
The smoker is made for the elements and is pretty much self contained, so this should have no effect whatsoever on my plans. But I WILL have to get out there and tend to my meat in the rain.
Oh well. No pain, no gain right? Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

I have had moments even watching folks BBQ in the rain. As you say, if you want the food you gotta do what you gotta do.

Oh they will taste so much better knowing what you went thru to get them.

I live in a fairly safe neighborhood. But I catch your drift. As for moving the smoker close to the house it's a bad idea to even have it in the attached garage as it can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if the smoke gets into the house. Better to just battle the rain.
