Anybody lost meat or worse on overnighter?

I have several packs of howling coyotes running wild through the woods each moon lit night. Concern would be drawing them to smell of pork butt or worse knocking egg over trying to get meat? Pork butt much easier to get than running deer.

Charbon,
We have critters...at least one bear, deer, opossums, raccoons, and I've heard coyotes howling nearby. However, no problems so far with the BGEs; I've never even seen any evidence of bad behavior. I keep a light on the grill area during the overnighters. I'm always a little concerned when transporting finished roasts during the dark hours. But I keep my trusty Lawn Ranger Grid Lifter handy to fend off any hungry beasts. Don't mess with this cook!
Cheers,
Gretl

Charbon,
ive had the coyotes run thru the campsite during the night, and even a bear rumaging around, but for some reason they leave the smoker alone.as i sat by the fire sharpening a long stick, i dont remember worrying about loosing any meat except maybe my own
fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
Charbon,[p]There are deer, and othe wildlife in the wood behind our new house (I see them on ocasion). I have installed a motionsesor that turns on a light on the deck. Think it will help.[p]Smokey

Charbon,[p]That's why everyone needs a BGE Guard dog[p][p]John

JM3,[p]I bet that dog has a warm backside.

Dos Huevos,[p]I have between one to three dogs in my backyard and anytime I have an overnighter going they all sleep near the egg. Whether it is because it is warm or because it smells so good I'm not sure.[p]John

Charbon, I usually just lose brain cells during overnighters!

Charbon,
Unless you're planning on firing that pop gun into the air I'd look for something with a little more stopping power. All that thing would do is pi$$ 'em off.

Charbon, I cooked on 6 BGEs at our church (downtown Atlanta) one night. The custodian warned me that some of the homeless types might wander in and steal - not the EGGs - the meat. I chained them through the handles and through the EGGnest so that they couldn't be opened. That's one way to resist the urge to peak!

Stay away from that place, YB! I didn't even bother to try to catch up. Full moon + moonshine = head start.

Kelly Keefe,
Was primarily looking to deter theft of meat or busting of Egg. Head shots would produce numerous coy dog carcasses which would require removal or disposal. Since I don't wear PJ's I was assuming sight alone of gunman with pig tail turner would intimidate these creatures at 2 or 3 AM.

Kelly Keefe,
Now, that is true sportsmanship![p]Doug
