Just awakened by a tremendous gust of wind hitting the house. :huh:
The wind had been non stop since yesterday. :angry:
Won’t fire up the large egg today, could set the hill ablaze. :ohmy: Looks like small will may get the workout.
I was hoping to test some recipes I might cook at the Texas Eggfest.

    The wind was gusting to 20mph last night in Round Rock, The BGE needed no help getting started. Central Texas would burn like a match if a fire got started.

    We have that in Salado, sure going to miss the breeze in about 3 or 4 weeks....
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

    We are thinking about putting up a windmill instead of solar panels, just need to get the HOA approval.

    Super windy in the upper midwest as well. Was gonna smoke a couple of racks of ribs today, but don't wanna burn the neighborhood down.
    I raise my kids, cook and golf.  When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.
    Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

    Here in Colorado we only received about 1/3 of our moisture this winter.We are on stage 2 fire restrictions meaning no firing up the egg :(
    The restrictions started last week.Last summer we were'nt allowed to fire up the egg for 42 staight days.It could be a long summer.There have been around 30 fires so far compared to 3 about the same time in previous years.The winds have reached 75MPH in some places.

    We need rain too.
    I know how you feel. :( I never once fired up the large the last 2 summers . Egg withdrawal is hell! :angry: That is why I got a small and put it on the covered porch.
