Does the BA330 have any kind of weather sealing? Does anyone have any experience with this unit in the rain?

Rain and electronics do not mix. This unit is not sealed at every spot. Not even close. The knobs and connections will be exposed to the elements.

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!!

I never leave it out in the rain, mainly because of the wind. They do suggest, however, that you can waterproof it by spraying it with Scotchguard or similar product and letting it dry before installation.

I purchased 2 of the tents, the tents themselves are waterproof.....with the rain fly....it just means you can open the screens on top without rain getting in.....I purchased both tents and rain fly.....I have gone thru some pretty rugged camp in....and I have not had any leak issues

Do your research on this product if you haven't already. I have been happy with mine as long as it's not raining. When I rains I have drips and water from all of the seams that are supposed to be sealed from the factory. It does have a warranty but I didn't know how to go about sending it back

That crossed my mind, and I always make sure rain is not in the forecast when I put it in my window. The item is $30. So I just use my common sense -- it's an electrical appliance, and if it's product description doesn't say it's waterproof, assume it isn't. As to what happens when it gets rained on, I would rather not experiment to find out.

Its a sealed unit so it should be. haven't been in the rain yet though to know for sure.

Drove through a couple of really heavy rains - had no leaking. As for a lock - I don't believe so, unless you lock the zippers together.

I use mine in my garage in Central Florida where the humidity is very high most of the year and not had any problems with it. Mine appears to be completely sealed against weather but I suspect it may leak around the contacts where it is plugged in, so never use it outside and exposed to the rain. I use stainless steel bolts, washers and nut on my batteries because they do rust/corrode.

I've used mine outdoors for a year with no issue. It appears to be a pretty weather tight unit.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.

I purchased one of these tents about two years ago. No rain fly. I did go through the trouble of sealing the seams and sprayed it with sealer. I have had it out in several rain storms some with high winds and have never had a problem with it leaking. There are a couple things you need to make sure of. First there are vents on the top of the tent to allow it to breath. Normally you leave these open all the time but if it is windy during a rain storm you may have to close those depending on the direction of the wind. Another thing is in the bottom corner of door there is a flap that is supposed to shed water to the outside of the tent. You need to make sure it is on the outside of the tent. If it gets inside water running down the outside of the tent will come in down by the floor. Finally when you put it up, make sure you pull the legs outwards and stake them so that the tent is taught. Some of the scouts in our troop just stand them up and don't stake them leaving the tent saging in areas and that can cause water to come in. Like I said I have had my tent 2 years and have been through several rain storms with no water problems...

I hung mine out in the open weather with no cover. Has worked well and been thru many rain and wind storms.

The unit is sealed and weatherproof. We DO make sure the unit is dry before packing it back up but that's to prevent mold.

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. The unit is sealed. This doesn't mean that it's resistant to the weather. I have used mine for over 4 yrs with no issues.

Yes. I rode in the pouring rain (Portland, Pacific NW style rain) for several minutes and there was no damage done. Each time I put in the rechargeable batteries I notice there are rubber-type seals in place.
