is the unit waterproof/resistant if grilling in the rain

I'm not sure but I wouldn't risk getting too wet. I'm sure a little rain is ok. We grilled in a light mist and it was fine. Usually when we grill we have an umbrella, but if you are wanting to set it down on a shelf beside the grill I would recommend putting a bowl or something over it, to keep it dry.

I do not know but try contacting the company direct: http://www.acurite.com/support

The probe unit goes into the meat, so would probably not be out in the rain? The rest of the unit is pretty hardy, and I think it would be fine. You could also put a bowl or something over the unit to protect it. The pager will let you know when the meat is done, and this would be on your belt or pocket, so out of the rain. Cheers

Absolutely. I wouldn't leave it out in the rain though the legs are metal they might rust a little.

That is the same grill i bought the bag for. The bag opens at the top and once you grill is folded up it will slide right in. My suggestion is to put the grill in the bag and close it before putting the spare tanks in the side pocketsbecause those are a little tight getting in. I have not had by bag out in the rain to make sure that it is water proof because our tent has a screened in front porch that I set everything thing up in. Sorry I don't have an answer for that. hope this helps, it made our packing and transporting of our grill so much easier.

I have had mine rained on a few times with no problems. Although its not recommended to leave out in the rain. Hope this help! P.S. this is the best smoker I have ever had!!

If the straps are around the grill the vent sits under the hood and should not allow water in. It may be a different story if the rain is coming horizontally at the grill.

Not water proof. It's just a screen net in shape of a tent to hold the food inside. If it rains the water will get to the food.

I have never used it wet or allowed the main unit to get wet. I doubt that it is water proof. My recommendation is to not get it wet, but other may have had no problem. Better safe than sorry.

I think it's probably water resistant if it were to be rained upon. There is a battery compartment on the bottom and one of mine got a little moisture from some water run off on my patio. Not enough to harm it but you couldn't put it in water and should be careful that you don't have water seeping under it.

I would definitely categorize it as a water resistant as opposed to waterproof. I did primarily purchase it for the side of my outdoor bbq pavillion to extend the room when it rains. The water does bead up on it nicely and roll right off the top. The company recommends nor using it in heavy rain. It works nicely with light to moderate rain thus far. It also dries rather quickly. So far so good.

It can if you leave it in the rain or snow. I have owned two of these smoker boxes and they have been fine, without rust or issue for the past 3 years. I use various smoker wood chips and they really do a great job enhancing any meat or poultry placed in the grill.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

There are ducts at the top back for a replaceable charcoal filter, so it's not rain proof unless you seal that part.

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

I've had mine three years. I have had to replace the top grill and the grate the charcoal is broken, but it still works like a charm. I live it the wet NW coast so it is always humid, but I have avoided leaving it out in the rain.

I'd say it's resistant but not water proof. I've taken it out in the pouring rain and everything inside has stayed dry, but I'd be afraid to drench it just in case.

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

NO. I put 2 outside a few months ago and 1 died and the other unit is still working ok. I was going to put a cover over it but have not had the time to do it. It is cooking in the 100 degree temp and has been rained on and is still working. For $60.00 I wanted to know if they could do it or not. I would not recommend them outside.
