Start by having a large thunderstorm appear from out of nowhere just as you are ready to light your charcoal.

It is also helpful if the rainwater is building up at a faster rate than it can run off or soak in...

Now that you're set with the inclement weather it's time to execute the survival plan. The survival plan is based on grease - lots of flavorful grease!

Start by frying yourself a few cheese sticks with homemade sauce to get you by. I forgot to get pics of the frying - sorry...

As you eat them, put some french fries in the grease to start frying.

Once the fries are done give them a healthy dose of Death Rain Nitro.

While you're enjoying your fries put some chicken in the grease to fry.

Once the chicken is done let it cool for a minute or it will burn you...

While it's cooling get your dessert ready.

This particular dessert happens to be an oatmeal peach cobbler.

Once the chicken is gone enjoy your dessert 

This is an easy to follow survival plan - whatever beverage you choose to couple with this plan will be fine...

Wind, rain, sleet or snow doesn't bother me but I'm not big on being out in the hail very much - I get more than enough of that every time I get caught in it on the bike...

ARRG I found this thread on a night when I'm craving something deep-fried, haven't had that in a while. Looks great, man! But no habanero with the peach?

I could run the smoker in a storm but the lid is drafty, need to fix that. A gusty wind would blow the heat out sideways unless I was cooking direct. There have been times that our family has put a grill in the garage to cook while sheltering from a thunderstorm. (The house is still here)

I'm lucky that this house has a gas cooktop, so a blackout doesn't stop it. But, I keep a few different kinds of cooking heat - butane burners, propane stove, gasoline stove, and a fistful of grills. That comes from years of camping, but also from having an all-electric apartment. Got to have a Plan B. Same goes for lighting with lanterns.

  Sometimes you just can't smoke but you still want to eat something that tastes good
