Put it in a baggie.

I came up with this idea some time ago... I've seen several people adopt a similar approach.

I used a big plastic container that will not let water in from the top (need to look how locking mechanism is built. I cut a whole and put a PVC gasket (actually used a shower drain and attached a 90degree. You can then run a power cord in without getting splashes from heavy rain...

To protect your fan, you need to look for a way...I've been thinking to build a small piece of sheet metal and attach to the BGE blower adaptor, but haven't gotten too far.




Here is a "jerry" rigged golf umbrella. Pvc pipe stuck in a bucket of range balls with a pvc pipe. A bag of golf balls is hanging from the umbrella to keep it from flying away with light wind.

Here's what I use to protect my Stoker from the elements:

1. The pieces:


2. In the box, before the lid


3. With the lid on and all the pieces in place.


4. A brick to make sure the lid doesn't fly away in the wind we sometimes get around here.


5. Here's what I came up with to protect the fan from the elements. It's a 1-quart chinese food take-out container with a narrow cut up from the rim for the cable and a slightly larger cut up the opposite side for the fan. This does a wonderful job of protecting from both the rain and the wind (wind can be an issue sometimes).


6. All packed up and waiting for the next cook
