Meadow Creek PR users

I am looking into a Meadow creek PR model to use for well, a lot of things...

I want capacity to do a contest with one cooker (or at least MOST of the contest with one). The ability to do a small pig (the 42" is plenty of space, but I MIGHT go 60 since it's not THAT much more money). I'm currently lugging around 3 different ones and really hate it. I am only interested in a cooker I can use charcoal and wood with - no pellets, no gas, no pure-log setups.

The PR 42/60 seem really great, but i've been having trouble finding a few pieces of information about them...

How do these things work in cold/wet/windy weather? I don't mind if they use more fuel / go through it quicker but there are just some cookers out there that plain old hate it when it's not nice out.

Also, i have a hard time picturing metal thickness - does anybody have a good comparison as to the thickness of the steel that these are made of? Say, compared to a weber kettle's steel? A barrel? Thicker?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

anybody?

Yeah, I've talked to them a bit - I was just hoping to get a personal experience with the cold/wind/rain part - Meadow Creek does admit it suffers but doesn't really elaborate on that.

Was just hoping that one of us could give me their $.02, that's all.
