Is the sending unit waterproof? Concerned about rain during a long smoke.

It has worked after getting wet but not marketed as waterproof. Try plastic, clear ziploc bag. It will not interfere with the functions.

I've had mine out in the rain. No issues. As mentioned below, the connector ports have rubber flaps over them. Also agree that I wouldn't take it in the pool. But no issues riding in the rain with it.

Not really. None of the connections (barring perhaps connection from hub to wire) are ruggedized/weather proof. I wouldn't be too worried in a light sprinkle, or on wet roads, but I wouldn't want to ride in the rain.

No. The actual control unit is not water proof. I ran irrigation wire to my LED light from the garage where the control unit is housed.

I do not know if it is "officially" weatherproof but mine got rained on last September (albeit light rain) and unit was not affected.

Well, it's not waterproof. And being outdoors generally speaking,exposes the components to moist weather (humidity, dew, drizzle, rain,snow etc...)

I haven't had any problems with the BBQ getting wet. We've had a lot of rain and snow since I purchased mine and haven't had a problem.

The receiver is not waterproof. It technically can be used outdoors, in the same way you can go outside with a cordless telephone, but it is not designed for any type of permanent outdoor installation.

The coil is water proof. The rest of the unit is not. There is an optional "bag" that covers the control unit if you need to use it in the rain. The control unit is vented otherwise. -dana

I wouldn't say its waterproof but I had it out for about 8 hours in the rain and my gear stayed fairly dry. It wasn't pouring but it was a constant drizzle throughout the day.

Not sure as I picked up unit for someone else. I know they are happy with how it functions, I am sure it could be put in a dry bag if it needs to be waterproof

Sure! I live bythe water. Mine has been exposed to wind and rain and it still works fine. Make sure the unit is well seal to the house though.

Can be outside BUT electrical cord and unit cannot get wet. Keep in a covered dry area.

Mine is out in the rain and works just fine, the connections are waterproof....

It is not water resistant or fire proof. But it is a strong steel box with secure easy access.

Evans,All the connections on the wiring are considered "water resistant" not "water proof" wiring connections will resist rain but for best results you should use silicone dielectric on the actual connection metal contacts. This will prevent any corrosion in case water does enter the connector.It is a good product, good luck

Yes it appears to be waterproof. Been out in the rain unprotected, still works.
