Within a week after my new FEC 100 arrived a storm came through and a dropped a little smaller than baseball size Hail. I was not at home, I called my wife to see if she had moved the smoker under the roof of our deck and she hadn't. I was thinking the smoker probably had hail damage but when I got home I pulled the cover off and was amazed that there was no visible damage.
I'm not sure if it is because of how its built or the fact that I had the cover on it, but for all of us that own the cover we all know it's pretty strong. Either way I was amazed.
Not sure if anyone else has ever had this happen but I can tell you I (accidentally) tested it and was amazed. However, now I make sure it's under the roof when a storm comes in.
