I have yet to do that, gonna do it this weekend.

It has seen some rain. The hopper seems sealed pretty well. What I have done is take a garbage bag and just put it over the hopper and pull down to cover the control pad. But I can tell you it has seen the rain naked and no issues.

Well, now that I have used the fec120 for a month and competed in my first comp using it, I am happy to say I love it! Have not had any issues at all, it puts out great que, and by taking away some hassle, I am using it way more on a weekly basis than I ever did with my WSM.

I will be using it at the Battle of the Brethren if anyone wants to come check it out.

That's a beautiful cooker and beautiful ribs.

So no issues in rain? I was told by dealer to not run it in the rain as it could cause components to get wet and it will void the warranty on it.

Are you going to have it at the Amelia Island contest? I'd love to check it out.

I run my FEC-100 with the cover on and it has seen torrential rain, 70+ MPH winds, tornado warnings, freezing rain and even snow and it just cooks. I don't know if there is a cove for the 120 that allows you to cook with it on.

Nope. Like I said, I used it at the BBQ Battle in DC where it did rain for a few hours. All I did was put a garbage bag over the hopper/control panel. It has also sat out in my backyard where it is under an awning but did see a ngith where it was out in the open in the rain, no problem.

There is no cover for the 120, don't know why.
