How can I smoke?

[beartoo]

Hi Everyone

I have a MES 40 electric, Gen 1, glass door.  I have Jerky and a Butt ready to smoke, they are seasoned and in refrigerator, and it is raining. Can I cover my control panel with something and start my smoker in the  rain? Should I wait it out?

Thanks

Mine has gotten wet from rain while smoking before without issue, if you have a top vent you might be better off rigging an umbrella or something to block some of the rain though, I keep mine under a bit of an overhang when smoking in the rain most of the time though. Shouldn't be a problem even if you can't though (though I'd recommend doing the jerky and the butt separate since jerky should really be done at a much lower temp than a pork butt).

• Hi  lcnuke 
• Thanks for the quick response. I did't think about using an   umbrella. I will do the jerky first then the Butt. I hope to start first thing in the morning.
• Thanks  again,
