FEC100 In a garage (venting?)

Service does not regularly monitor this forum,so I'd call the office-rather than us guessing.

We,and folks in Ok/Ks cook in 30-40 mph winds and pouring rains,without problems.

We cook during tropical storms,allnight in 50-60 mph winds,and never consider it.

I'm sure if you did a search on wind,you'll find that Smokin' had heavy Ok wind blow into his exhaust and overloaded the firepot.

His other five years of constant cooking had no incident.

The other 100,000 cooks that year,that had zero problems,we logically did not report" yep,one more day and no problem"

Kinda like" yep,one more day with my Caddy Deville,and it works just like the other 1378 days,just thought I'd wake up and report"

Not to belittle the question,just trying to put it in perspective.

As we know,once one comment hits the internet,it becomes "the new fact for perpetuity"

Hope this helps a little.

The fires are more likely in the old models of FE, that have the "straight through" auger.

The newer "ramp" models have much less incident.

Just have a cap on the vent so the air doesn't come back down.
