All things BBQ and Braai

Weather permitting I'm going to batter the new bbq over the festive period. You don't have any recommendations for a cheap, temporary canopy for it do you?
Just something to keep the drizzle off and tide me over until I can get my pergola completed.

Only thing I can think of is a gazebo, but might not be great in any wind. Unless you can get a plastic sheet and secure it to a fence/side of the house?
 
Gazebo is looking the best bet but it my end up in a neighbours garden as the wind can blow a bit if it comes from the wrong direction :LOL:
I can only really attach it at one side to the house, there's a hedge behind and is open on the other two sides.
I'm just desperately Googling for that one idea that fits my area lol.
 
Did you manage to sort a "bad weather " solution?

How is the new machine doing?

Sort of, because I was cooking at a really low temp I just half threw the cover over it to stop things getting wet lol. I may go parasol shopping later as a short term solution.
The BBQ itself is a dream machine mate, I've done brisket, pulled pork all sorts on it so far, I haven't done any high temp searing yet though. It's so easy to use, fill the hopper with a few wood chunks if you're smoking, light it from below, set your temp and you're away. I filled it with lumpwood one day last week, did a 9 hour pork shoulder and I still had 1/4 hopper left, that was in almost freezing conditions as well ?
 
Outstanding mate, so juicy with a crispy bark on top. We had them with homemade slaw and jalapeno cornbread, best thing I've had in a long time ?
I'm now officially stuffed ?
Sounds like it needs washing down with a tincture or two ?
 
First ever attempt at ribs, a baby back from John Davidson's.
Came out much better than I'd imagined ?
Sooooooo easy to do on the Masterbuilt.
Just resting so the real test will be shortly ?
Also got a St Louis rack and Jacobs ladder in the freezer which I can't wait to try ?

How was ordering from John Davison’s? Did they live up to their reputation?

They certainly look tasty!
