Biggest problem I have with my setup. Our house is out on the end of a west-facing point, with several hundred feet of drop on the slope below us. Anytime we get the slightest bit of air movement, that wind comes up the hill and gets funnelled right past my smoker. It's nice that I never get smoke in my eyes, but very difficult to keep the smoker hot enough.

I usually try to rig up a wind screen with an aluminum ladder and a tarp, but I am seriously considering building a wall on the windward side of my smoker area.


It continues to be windy here. No complaints other than I'd like to smoke a pork shoulder this weekend. I probably won't. It could take days. LOL!
