I brew outside on my turkey fryer and have trouble when the wind picks up. Anyone got any tips for brewing while it's windy? It's hard for me to get and keep a good rolling boil when the wind is blowing the flame all over.
 
Use electric?

Really, you need a wind screen... anything that you can place up aroundyour burner to block the wind.
 
i don't have any pictures of it, but i have the same problem. A quick trip to home depot yielded a roll of aluminum flashing. I cut out small parts for the hose to go through and it works pretty well.

You really need to make sure that nothing that can melt is behind the screen, though. It will lock the heat in and possibly melt the hose.
