Comments on: Grilling In High Winds http://www.grillmaestro.com/grilling-in-high-winds.htm my journey from grill meekdom to mastery Tue, 02 Dec 2008 12:39:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Graydon http://www.grillmaestro.com/grilling-in-high-winds.htm#comment-855 Graydon Mon, 26 Feb 2007 05:18:41 +0000 http://www.grillmaestro.com/grilling-in-high-winds.htm#comment-855 Good thing to think about. I'll have to add one thing... if you do decide to grill while in some higher winds, don't leave the grill. I wasn't grilling when this happened, but I was asked by my wife one day why had moved the grill. After telling her that I moved it like 3 weeks ago, she said, no, it was moved today. I went and looked, and sure enough, it had been pushed off at an angle and one corner had dropped off the concrete. Nothing flipped over.... but I really hadn't thought the winds had gotten all that high (maybe 20-30 mph gusts). But apparently they had just enough to get that fat bastard rolling. Now an even better excuse why you can't come inside.... "Honey, the winds may whip up and I've got to watch this grill... now get me a beer!" Good thing to think about.
