Windy Wet Wild sunday Fark it lets Q

[swbill]

Crazy weather. Middle of November,65 degrees and a tornado watch in Michigan. 60-70 MPH winds.
Not letting that stop me from smoking that 10 pound ham I have been looking at all week.
Will post prOn later.

[rauljustice]

SE MI here: I'm smoking up some sausage!

We have our house windows open, in November!

[Fwismoker]

Batten down the hatches soon...so they say. Still no wind here but that is supposed to change quickly.

[swbill]

The old gasser makes a great wind block.

lol it sure seems to.
Like Kieth we have some wind here in SW Mich, but not bad.
Looking at the forcast we're not really supposed to get over 20 mph steady and a few gusts.
Yesterday they were saying much worse.

[swbill]

ok maybe not best idea, Getting really nasty out now. tornado warnings all around us. Rain coming in sideways and soaking UDS. Still holding good temp though.

ok maybe not best idea, Getting really nasty out now. tornado warnings all around us. Rain coming in sideways and soaking UDS. Still holding good temp though.When that storm came through here, it was one of the scariest storms I have ever seen. The wind whipped up so much that it was literally roaring like a freight train! I had an old gasser sitting on the patio and it blew it right over. Luckily my kettles were huddled close to the back porch and remained unscathed.

we're toward the bottom end tail of it here in Cincinnati. There are two lines of severe storms, the second one is the one appearing to be giving the 65-75. We just got the tornado warning as I am typing this, bad stuff right over us.
Luckily, I got my spatchcocked chicken done just in time.

[SmittyJonz]

Well did your UDS survive the storm ?

[Fwismoker]

It hit us pretty good , the rain didn't last too long but the wind is still going strong right now.

[stephan]

Pouring rain by me, seemed like a good time to smoke a brisket flat. I was going to take a pic of the finished product but I forgot to.

[popeye]

Hit us strong then a double rainbow.Just like the white house a lot of wind

[swbill]

Yep we made it through it and dinner came out great but we have been without power for a few hours. Luckily I have a generator we have been running off of.
Wind was crazy and have a couple trees down but the uds stood strong the whole time. With all the excitement today I didn't get any prOn pics.

[Diesel Dave]

We're outta power here too. It is still windy as all get out, and there's trees down in a lot of places. But all in all we're in good shape

[Dave M]

Rained like the devil here, and the wind got nasty. Power went out several times this evening but not for long. Didn't stop me from smoking my butts for the PB&J Outreach though. :)

[Diesel Dave]

Rite on Dave!
You gotta be a trooper to Q in the Northeast in the fall and winter seasons :laugh:

[CErnst]

Had a crazy Q here in KC. I was setting up the UDS and my aging Locust tree was raining down limbs and twigs. I setup some buckets around my inlets put my chimney on my exhaust. It worked well enough to get some turkey done.

[grillinguy247]

Boy yall got all kinds of chit going on. Glad nobody got hurt. :boxing:

[StanDaMan79]

Yup, you guys out there got hammered. Saw the Bears game get about 2hr delay. Glad you all made it through the storm. BBQ bad a$$'s all!

[swbill]

Power is back on for us so took the left overs from last nights smoked ham and made up some ham and potato cheese soup for dinner.

[dport7]

Glad to hear every one is ok. I still have a house in Ill. My son lives in it, he said it blew hard, thought he was gonna blow away, they are ok also.

Thats about what my gasser is also and the side burner works great to start the chimney.

[Diesel Dave]

We just got our power back on too Bill. Good to have things back to normal.....what ever that is :laugh:

[Fwismoker]

I finally storm proofed my house because since i bought a generator i haven't been with out power! :becky: Glad to hear you all are back to normal.:wink:

[Chris89Stang]

Wow, I can't believe you had the smoker going in that weather. I live a little south of downtown GR and that wind was crazy! I was surprised to see my smoker and grille still on the deck once it calmed down! LOL!
