U can do that again Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Is anyone else having problems with the wind today? One moment completely still next moving tree I gauge wind by about like it’s a kids toy!! temp going up and down like a yo-yo, all timings shot, best I stick another couple of bottles of rose in the cooler for management 🤞🤞 also running Napoleon coconut briquettes , good heat but a lot of ash, burn rate ok but need to riddle the fire box to keep temp in range more often than expected unless it’s the wind......

TrulySNAFU Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Yeah, wind is annoying at the moment. Really hard to keep the temp in the Kamado. Alarm goes of every half hour. Mine PP will hit the stall soon, will wrap it and finish it in the oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can do that again Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Well kept on preserving in the wind, on first pulled pork . Photo attached as it’s resting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrulySNAFU Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I really wanted to go for a stick burner (because its "the real BBQ"), but to be honest I don't want to play kindergarten teacher the whole day. As long as it is ribs I'm happy with a kettle or the kamado. But now as I started longer smokes... idk. Today was an eye opener. Might invest in a smokefire or in a Masterbuilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with that, cant see it cut. If the outsides not what you like or want, scrap a bit off, enjoy. Tuck in. Next time be even better.

Colin39 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I built a deflector out of a peice of alloy sheet, just hung it over the handle about 2inches /50mm away from the vent, it helped a huge amount 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U can do that again Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Cheers for the advice, had used an old beach style wind break to try and shelter it but wind direction was erratic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggy Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I posted my bbq area in another post that died ... I strapped a couple of fence panels to the sides for this very reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
