I've never had a problem with mine going out, but I've also never
tried using it on a day that had 50 mph gusts. Cooking outdoors needs
a different set of "common sense" rules, no matter what equipment
you're using. (excepy maybe a pottery style smoker) On a windy day
I'd use the turkey fryer burner if I needed it.
