For those who like their daisy wheel and have a chimney starter, 10 cents worth of foil is all you need...

What's a chimney starter got to do with it? My solution is not to grill in the rain.=)
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I don't ever knowingly hit the disagree button, but I've got to ask - are you high?

If you move that foil to the right a little you'll probably pick up the radio signals the aliens are trying to send us...LBGE (still waitin' for my free T-Shirt), DIgiQ DX2 (In Blue, cause it's the fastest), Heavy Duty Kick Ash Basket, Mc Farland, WI.

If the daisy wheel is on and you just have the little holes open fully or partially very little rain is going to get into your egg.
A few months ago we had a 2" of rain in a couple of hours event. Wasn't using the Egg but I did have the little holes in the wheel open and as it turned out I had left a clean drip pan sitting on the top grate. When I opened the Egg later that evening after the storm there was a whopping 2 tablespoons +/- of water in that pan. Hardly an amount I would worry about. Glad that drip pan was there because I was always curious about just how much rain might get into an Egg during a typical thunderstorm.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K.

I just use an old coffee can with holes punched in the sides. Its pretty ghetto looking but works well. Phuck the storms. Egg doesn't seem to notice a difference.

Serious question fellows, what is the appeal of the Smokeware cap? Is it that it looks cool or does it contribute something that I'm overlooking?

@SGH
I think the adjustment holds better than a dw.
No worries of rain or weather.
People with taste like the look of it better.

I'm guessing the appeal is a few things:
1 - rain won't enter
2 - settings won't change when the dome is opened
3 - stainless won't rust

If it works better, who cares how it looks. No offense, as beautiful as the egg is, it's just as ugly to many, but nothing works better!!!Just bought an Egg? Here is what you get to look forward to now:

No shame in the foil game. Also, keep in mind that this picture was taken at 10:30 PM...meaning that's just a lightning strike acting as a flash for the camera

I'll bet that's why a lot are sold. For me stable adjustments, and the weather protection were biggies.Phoenix -

Hey, I was one of the nay sayers. Then one day I found it on sale. Said, why not? I have spent more money on several worthless crap for the egging experience than this. Now, I like it.
You need to give it a go. And tell us what you think.

If you go back to the old forum, long before the days of the smokeware cap, or even the dual function aspect of the BGE cap........
The solution was taking an empty coffee can or 64oz fruit/veg can, and cutting a hole in the side near what would be the bottom of it was upright can. Flip it upside down, angle the cut out downwind, then put it over the top of the Daisy wheel. Viola! No rain, no wind/flue, more money for meat. -
