Stanners

To be fair my one isn’t the snuggest fit (I don’t think it is the genuine smokehouse one, but that style. I saw it in a shop and thought I’d try it. I only use it when it starts raining but seems to work well. When I get round to it I’ll put on a thicker gasket and that should make it nice and snug.

Hi Everyone, Forecast over the next few days is a bit shocking, and I am planning on smoking some grub on the AK tomorrow when it is due to be raining. I don;t mind cooking in the rain, but have a question about starting the fire in the kamado whilst it is raining? I don't have anywhere to put it under cover, it will be fine once at temp as I have a smokehouse chimney vent so rain won't drip in, but during the initial lighting I usually keep the lid up for 10 mins or so. any tips (apart from stand there with an umbrella?
