Thanks for the great advice. I don't plan on leaving my canopy up because of the wind you mentioned - would likely blow away into the next county or get ripped to shreds if weighted down. I'm looking for a simple contraption that I can set up easily for a cooking session for a few hours and then take down when i'm done. I would look into retractable awnings if I was thinking of something more permanent. Those WTF storms can keep things interesting - one of them snuck up on us last year and it rained all day. Got home just in time before the pool overflowed!

On topic. Even in Kansas I feel your pain. I manage by cooking on the driveway which is on the north side and erecting a canopy when necessary. I might also suggest one of my better purchases. I got this big, orange fan from Home Depot. I think it is 2' in diameter and usually runs for a hundred bucks. That thing works wonders for helping alleviate the heat. Then again, if you are in a windy area, it doesn't help to add to it.

The EZ up canopies are great, but putting them up and taking them down can get tiring. They cannot take any sort of rain. Had my first one up and a quick downpour collapsed it into a pile of scrap metal.
