    When Sandy blew through the DC area, we saw 70+ mph sustained winds. They made my cherry tree whip around like a butter churn but my medium was fine in a nest pushed up against the house.

    A sobering 3 min video from a couple of years back, in Ron's neck of the woods.  You can see a large base, and I think a fire ring at the door as he pans down at the end.

    Wow. That sh!t made me cry. Brutal. 
    Just bought an Egg?  Here is what you get to look forward to now:

    Plate Setter, FlameBoss 200, Spider, PSWOO-CI, Additional Rig Shelf for dome cooking, Thermapen, iGrill2, Cast Iron, Blackstone, Cooking Accessories for the Blackstone, Cover for the Egg and the Blackstone, shopping for Rub like a fine wine or IPA, and a new fascination with lump and what brand is the best-all to be debated every Friday Night.  Next desires-Joetisceriie, Adjustable Rig, Grillmates, table and more eggs

    Damn, brutal devastation. I will never live in Tornado country, I can put up with the occasional hurricane.

    I cooked some boston butts through the last hurricane we had here.  The wind fvcked with the temp, you need to turn the egg around so the lower damper is facing away from the direction of the wind.  And that direction will move as it passes. Otherwise, if it's not shielded by structure, strap it down or put it in your shed or garage.

    A buddy in Kansas (no hurricane) had the lid open on his KJ Big Joe. Wind hit and blew it over, breaking the dome. He told KJ what happened and they covered it under warranty.
    So KJ warranty covers blatant disregard of common sense. Good to know.
