Welcome from the alien capital of the universe! Here in SE New Mexico there are VERY few times I will not grill or smoke something if that's what I (we) want to do. Have a covered patio, so grilling in the rain and/or snow is easier because of that. When the wind is blowing a gale, which it can certainly do here on the east side of the Southern Rockies, is the biggest thing that shuts me down. Makes it miserable because of the blowing dirt, usually, and makes it difficult to control the heat, or keep the burner going on my SRG. Have been known to build wind blocks from patio chairs, tables, etc. Don't laugh, it works! Surprisingly, chickens are one thing I haven't smoked (yet). And they are one of the easiest and fastest to smoke. Why do we do the things we do? I sometimes wonder. Enjoy this site, it's super!
