Do you strap down your MES?

[Mofatguy]

Planning on using my new MES 40" smoker on my back deck. Going to put some trager drip pan liners under it to catch any drips or burning pellet.
But, when I store it I'm wondering about wind.
How many here strap their smoker down to keep wind from blowing it over?

I only strap her down if she's being naughty...oh wait, different forum.

Never had wind problems with it ! But I did gave a bear roll it around one night !

Yikes! We have bears here in Missouri now. Had one in front yard a couple years ago. Don't need one on back porch!
Forgot to mention my back deck is @ 5 feet off ground. Wind has never bothered the charcoal kettle grill but has blown other stuff off the porch? Go figure.

Yes I do, heavy bungee cords or a ratchet strap.

My smoking and grilling is all done on driveway. In bad weather and winter the gear is moved into the garage.
Later today the Weber comes out to cook spatch cock chicken (that term is a redundancy btw) for Christmas dinner.

Mine sits on my deck for about 3.5 yrs, never had a problem with it, even through the heavy storms abs ocassional hurricane

I didn't strap my MES down, until 3 years ago, when I noticed it rocking back & forth in the wind, on my front porch.
Been Ratchet Strapped Down ever since!!!
