I am ready to place a 9.2 lb pork butt on the egg.

My large has been in some heavy wind here in TX with no issues. If you can maybe push it to an area that might have some shelter from the windMckinney, TX

Yes. Just make sure it can't roll away. Good luck with the butt!XL BGE; Medium BGE; L BGE

I also have links of chain wrapped around the wheels on the nest to help keep it from rolling or sliding. Best of luck with the cook!Mckinney, TX

Its on corner of our deck with the nest wheels locked.

If it's on a deck, you should be able to tie it down through the spaces between the boards.

Make sure you position your egg where the bottom door is out of the direct wind or you'll play hell maintaining temp

There isn't a problem with xl blowing away. As long as the feet on the nest are locked mine has taken 75+ mph winds with no problems. My dads large has been through a couple twisters(sitting on cinder blocks) and has survived.
-
Even with the broken plate setter and 50 MPH wind gusts the temp with the Cyber Q has remained steady at 225 all night. It has been 10 hrs and the internal temp is 168. We will not be serving until 7-8 hours from now so I have plenty of time before FTC.

An angle grinder with a masonry blade will turn your plate setter into a pizza stone. Or, add a spider to your order and your trimmed down plate setter resumes work as an indirect stone.

If you wanted to invent something designed to ignore a 50mph wind, it would be something short, heavy and round
you are fine
I have never had wind cause a problem with temps, including during a nor'easter[social media disclaimer: irony and sarcasm may be used in some or all of user's posts; emoticon usage is intended to indicate moderately jocular social interaction; the comments toward users, their usernames, and the real people (living or dead) that they refer to are not intended to be adversarial in nature; those replying to this user are entering into a tacit agreement that they are real-life or social-media acquaintances and/or have agreed to or tacitly agreed to perpetrate occasional good-natured ribbing between and among themselves and others] -
