Need a quick rain guard
The plan has always been to do the turkey breast outside on the LBGE. It is brining as I type. The dressing is made and ready to bake tomorrow. Now I have the monkey wrench of rain thrown in the mix. The weather guys are talking about heavy rain tomorrow during prime cooking time. I don't have a cover for either the cook or the egg in such situations. Any suggestions?
I am thinking I will try to rig up a rain shield from a disposable pie tin. Somehow get it to hover over the standard daisy wheel top. I have limited tools and capabilities. Advice?

foil. or foil and a coat hanger.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Home Depot or Lowes have some vent caps under $10-12 and they work great. Just get the size a little greater than the outer diameter of the egg.
This came off a gas swimming pool heater several years ago, but you get the idea.

Or, you could do what Leroy did before he built the Coop...

You could also buy a cheap pop up canopy to put over the egg. This would keep the eggs and the egger somewhat dry.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Yup! In fact measure it to sit down over your daisy even if the slider is partly open making the throat say 9". I believe that stack covers are uniform in size but like small and large so you'll want a large one. BTW a point of safety - these get extremely hot so don't touch with your bare hands!Richard Fl said:Home Depot or Lowes have some vent caps under $10-12 and they work great.

Go to a hardware store and get a 6" stove pipe cover.

Here's my options..... Either the rain cap for a stove pipe, or a patio umbrella! LBGE since 2014

I had the same problem and was thinking of using a clean empty paint can, but I found a 10'X10' canopy at ****'s Sporting Goods for $50. This way I don't get wet.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

Thanks, team! I'm set. Bring on the rain.

Good - but if I were you I would bend those 3 legs inward so that would lower the cover at least half. If you get any wind then rain will blow in under that new cap or even lift it off all together. Just remember my safety warning that metal cap will get skin burning hot!itsmce said:Thanks, team! I'm set. Bring on the rain.Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time -
Thanks for the additional tip. I had wondered about how wind would play into this. We get plenty of it here in KS!Large (sometimes wish it were an XL) in KS

I know you do and that's why I suggested the bending. BTW I would measure and mark each leg before doing the bending inward so that the bonnet will come down uniformly.itsmce said:Thanks for the additional tip.

Grab a stone and place on top for "wind security"!

Might be a redneck if you use a stick of rebar, umbrella and black electrical tape to finish the cook
