It's just as rainy here. We have covered patios.

I never said it did'nt & if you want to cook in the rain go do it. Us brits tend to BBQ in the sunshine & we don't get too much of that.
As for rainfall your average is 48" in Houston and Cumbria is 65".

But that's just it - we don't cook in the rain.

As I said, we have covered patios attached to our houses, so we can cook when it rains without getting wet.

Our rains tend to come down in quick downpours followed by sunshine. Yours tend to come down in long drizzles with no sunshine for long periods. But I would not let that stop me from doing BBQ under a covered patio.

I thought you said you lived in London? Isn't Cumbria a fair piece away?

In any event, I would think there has to be at least one BBQ restaurant somewhere near by enough to take your meat for smoking. If there isn't, maybe you should start one.

No Oddley lives in London I live 6 miles away from the Scotland.

As well as the rain up here we don't have too much heat so sitting outside whilst is great when we can don't happen too often.
But that the price for living in some great country side.

Masochist!

Texans have enough sense to come in out of the rain.

For those who do not have an attached patio, umbrella-style canopies are popular and not all that expensive.

During Summer in SE Texas (May to November) it is too hot inside the house to use the stove or oven, so people BBQ outside. Having a covered patio is part of Texas living. So is a 6-8 foot high backyard wood fence to deter burglars and keep the dogs in, so patio cooking is private.

An attached patio is not usually included in the property tax assessment, so people put up quite elaborate patios as additions. With a nice cross breeze coming off the Gulf, you don't notice the heat and humidity that much.

When I was in graduate school living at the "married students' bungalos" we did not have a patio, so we cooked BBQ out in the parking lot in rain and snow. You could easily tell who the real BBQ fans were.

Might not be expensive, but they are butt ugly.

Me thinks you Texans like your BBQ just a bit too much:

I agree.

Texas is the BBQ capital of America.
