Is there anything I should watch out for if I cook when it is drizzling rain? It won't hurt the Egg will it?

if its really raining hard you may need to place something over the daisy vent, i jost lay a brick on top so water doesnt pour in, others buy a stack cap at the hardware to sit over it. rain doesnt hurt the eggfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

Watch out for your neighbors they might steal your food! :woohoo: No worries unless the rain runs in your dfmt then some have used something to divert the water. Tim

I figured it would be OK, but didn't want to take a chance.

it only hurts not to cook in the rain

That's it then. I'm cooking a chicken and my version of ABT's for tonight. I was starting to feel a twinge of panic that I might not be able to cook.

I do the Market Umbrella thing as well. Mine has the overlapping vents so it sheds wind as well as rain. Stays up in everything short of a gale.
You don't NEED an umbrella or shelter, your egg will be fine in the rain. But it makes it much nicer for the cook and saves a bit of charcoal. -
No problemo

Beautiful handle, ugly rain cap. But I suppose both work.

Here's my rain wear.
Actually yes I would give you one suggestion - the foil around the dome thermometer can prevent moisture from getting inside your dial when the temp is high and the metal has expanded then gets hit with cold water. I had that happen to one of mine.
That is one more good reason to remove that inside metal clip and throw it in the trash!! -
Here's what I do in the rain.
Works fine. -
Love that one! Simple, cheap, effective.

Now that is a handle. Fancy

Thanks for all of the tips.
-
It won't hurt the egg.
Make sure you wipe your feet off before walking onto the hardwood floor. -
If I need the large I can get out the rain gear
I have a medium that is covered for most rain cooks
Main thing is to keep the cook dry!
