I have planned a test cook for a single 18 pound Packer Brisket for tonight. I planned on a 5 PM start at 215 degrees with a 5 AM brisket at or very close to "wrapping temp". Once wrapped the plan was to bump to 250 and ride through the stall with a finish at about 11 am. This would be followed by a two hour rest and delivery to my "tasters" (I really do have tasters but they are unpaid volunteers.)
Issue. From midnight on there is a 20% chance of showers. ARRGH. I have no idea how the BFG will behave in the rain. I guess I will try calling the mother ship.
From the owners here, I would ask "what do you do"? I can wrap the control box with a plastic trash bag and duct tape (messy but works). I could go get a Welders Blanket and just drape it over everything except the smoke stacks. I can wrap the pellet box with plastic tarp. I can do nothing and just cross my fingers.
I hate "first time" stuff. Always easier the second time. I do have a pop up market type tent but the last time I tried that a 35 mph set of gusts showed up and blew the tent down the block. Not good.
I would reschedule but this weather with the night rain probabilities will continue through Sunday. I really need to do this test cook. I want to try a pretty drastic change to my brisket cooking method. I think it should be really good (unless it isn't).
How weather resistant are our BFG's.
